What a nice home! I like Stone Eagle.

Have you thought of replacing the Victorian door for something more contemporary?

The grey floors are enough and the grey fad is over. So there is no reason to plaster grey paint all over your walls. The paint that is currently there is nice, works with the floor, and is actually a much more updated look than grey paint would be, and especially with the grey floors, too. If you want a really dated look, go for grey walls and grey floors.

The paint that is there will work with your furniture - which I’m assuming the furniture in the photos is yours. If you have to change the paint, consider a shade of white. Benjamin Moore’s Ballet White is a nice, versatile color. I like BM’s Natura line.

Just to add - I think some of the lines that I am seeing on your house look to be more modern and not really so conducive to crown moldings.

Put the stone eagle color next to your sofa. You want a warm greige tone that is a very light version of your sofa color. The icicle color will read as light baby blue walls and that will look terrible with your soft furnishings. But stone eagle may not be perfect so look at it with the sofa and adjust accordingly. Also look at SW Accessible Beige as its a greyed out beige so doesn’t read too warm or too cold. But that also may not work with the sofa. Once you’ve narrowed it down always good to get a larger painted sample board to move around the house to check before signing off on final color.

And your little poodle reminds me of our little guy that passed away last November. He was my little sidekick and I miss him. Enjoy your freshly painted space and don’t be afraid to add a bit of colorful art:)

Forget the crown , think about where you would start and end it this house does not need it and should not have it. As for wall color probably the stone eagle for a bit of contrast and you need a front door that suits the house. Get some art on the walls with some color and get rid of the fake greenery.

White

Those are all real plants

True, gray is fading quickly. Stick with the current color or a white that contrasts a bit more with the doors, windows and trim. Save your money and don't do crown. It doesn't suit your home's style. I'd prefer closing up those dark arches in the dining room and making space there for a magnificent piece of art. You should paint/stain the stair and balcony railings to match the espresso dining table. Then anchor the sofa and chairs on a larger rug which should be 12-18" from the hearth. It can slip under the front 1/3 to 1/2 of the sofa, and the coffee table should be 12" from the sofa. I can't identify the dark boxy decor item in the corner of the dining room, but it isn't helping, and the group of attached circles above the sofa is undersized for the wall, as are the tiny plant holders on the other wall. Scale is the issue here. The circle piece might work vertically where the little wall plants are, or it might fit better horizontally above the doors left of the foyer entry, aligned with the transom window. You need art with that foyer table, and I agree that a contemporary front door is in your future.

The white paint is dingy and is hard to clean. It is the original paint from 2005 and it’s actually just the primer on the walls. Looking for something comfortable and a little bright but still modern. I don’t really care about fads that went out of style because this is really what I like. I like the gray and i want a sleek feel.

This is your home. Everyone keeps saying gray is over yet if you look at high end homes for example the NYC area, gray is still going strong in new builds.

If you like gray, go for it.

For those who keep saying gray is out, than other than white, what can you

suggest?

For your space, if this is your furniture, I agree that the color there works nicely.

I would keep it.

The metal art was a gift and right now it’s just serving as a place holder until I find other artwork. The white paint needs to go. I need something different.

I’m loving the ballet white

Pale Oak is my very favorite light greigeand it MIGHT make your floor and sofa look great. However, there is no way to know if it, or any suggested color will look good in your rooms until you paint a big swath of the color on an actual wall in your home. No virtual samples online, no tiny swatch cards.

Edited to add, def swap out the front door, preferably with a good quality single pane French door,

For the doors, can you provide picture examples? I hate that door and it needs to go. The previous owners painted stain glass colors on it and it looks tacky. Who is Pale Oak made by? I’m going today to get paint samples to put on the wall. My issues with this current wall is that if I were to take a magic eraser, wet paper towel, wash cloth, micro cloth, etc and wipe dirt off... I would end up wiping the paint away.

I'm not a designer but I would do a smoky blue accent wall- Navy is the color of the year- though not sure I'd go that dark. Then do the other walls in a very light gray or creamy white. Just a thought! I'm in middle of renovating a kitchen and thinking of doing one of two almost navy accent walls.

The color blue of your pillows behind the dining room table as an accent wall?

Edgecomb Gray by Benjamin Moore is a very classic light shade of greige (grey-beige) that will go with either grey or beige undertones.

Tiffany Wise - don't horn in on Jared Baker's dilemma. Start your own so there is no confusion about what Houzzers are trying to solve and comment on. You'll get more responses that way, especially if you have lots of pix to share.

Another voice for no crown molding. You have so many variations of how the walls meet the ceiling, abrupt changes in ceiling height, angles (near small closet), and curves, that any application of crown molding will look choppy and take away from the contemporary feel of the home. Definitely a new entry door. Personally, I like some color of white, as it lends a 'gallery' feel to the rooms. The Ballet White (BM) is very nice, with a warm undertone, which can make the openness of your home feel more cozy.

Decorpatti - thank you! Could you provide door style recommendations? I’m thinking ballet white would be nice. I’m going to go grab a paint sample today to put on the wall

Jared, here are just a couple of ideas. I like it with a sidelight, but it doesn't look like you have enough width at your entry. Also, you have to determine how much privacy you need at the entry. We have a Spanish style home and we have glass and iron doors, but we have a very sheltered front porch. Just put in "contemporary entry doors" and you'll find thousands of ideas!
