Breaking open a can of taupe-y beige paint was a new experience for me.  We tend to stick with grays or dark dramatic tones around here, but the color on the walls–although might seem a little boring–will be the perfect backdrop for the art and window treatments we have planned for the room.

Our room is painted a brownish tone (Martha Stewart’s Mushroom) so it coordinates well to have another warm-toned room right across the hall.  Ahem, the gray hall. And most importantly, will coordinate with the grasscloth we selected. At least it better. Ahhhh, it better.

Bottom line, bye bye Gray Owl. Hello, Silky Bamboo. Hope you stay awhile. Have you ever painted over a room within a week?  A month? A day?!  We aren’t new to that game.  I painted over our entire stenciled hallway shortly after I completed the project because I just didn’t love it.  And really, you should love your home, right?!
