What colors will help my grey sofa look more grey, NOT blue?
Comments (14)I have a question for the owner of this couch. Was this from Jerome's? We special ordered a couch that looks very similar to yours to have it in gray and it looks denim blue too. We have gray walls with white trim and it does not work. My bf says its the lighting or the darker reddish wood floors we have but a big part of me thinks it is the couch! I swear it was made blue....See MoreBest Benjamin Moore muted purple/gray paint color???? Winter gray is
Comments (12)Oh, and I really like the look of BM Wisteria, which looks like exactly the muted purple-gray that I most admire. I might even prefer it a shade lighter than on the color card. But of course you never know what you're going to get until you slap it on the walls....See MoreWall color with very light gray cabinets and dark gray counters?
Comments (9)Sophie, I have used milk paint on many projects including my exterior front door and it has held up beautifully. But our plan is to try painting them, and if that doesn't work out well we are thinking of redooing the kitchen. So instead of spending thousands on painting and then possibly later thousands on re-Doring for a door style we prefer, we thought we might spend less money and more sweat equity on painting as an initial step. But the most important question here is what wall color looks good when you have a gray paint and dark gray counters ? If you could help with that I would appreciate it. I've looked at pictures online and most people have white walls but I would like to have a color other than white on my walls...See MoreI’m stuck on charcoal gray and sterling gray exterior siding colors.
Comments (1)Here are some Craftsman style homes in gray. Seems they've used lighter gray on the siding and darker on the shutters/door. White trim ties all together. The door on your plan doesn't look like the right style the the Craftsman home though. Stained front door and garage doors would be really nice....See Moresloedjinn
