That Gray Area

So I was all about the white walls. And then I was pondering a dark, dark gray. So where did I actually end up after all the primer was rolled and the paint has dried? Well, a lovely middle of the color wheel gray, of course. Not too foggy. Not too scary. Just right (I hope, I mean it has to be, we're not repainting). That's in the first room. Second room I kept white mainly because it was easy to roll it on over everything. And I mean everything, even existing door knobs and electrical sockets. Ah, the joys of renting.

Pictures of those coming soon. I also taped off my entire bedroom and have been contemplating whether to spend the time priming the baby-poo brown walls or to just paint on a dark color and call it a day. With my current schedule, we're going dark.

Here's what I'm aiming for. With a white bedspread and light curtains and white trim already, I'm halfway there. Just need a can of paint.
