painting gray

My boyfriend and I are painting our bedroom this weekend. This is about 5 years overdue. It was my grand idea to paint the room a light yellow when we moved in (because that's my favorite color) and little did I know that that's just not a great bedroom color. Also, little did I know that when we ran out of paint half way through and had to go back and get more that they gave us one shade different and half the walls look like crap!!!

I've now concluded that bedrooms should be serene, calming and minimal. So, I have been wanting to paint the room a LIGHT gray for a long time. White curtains, light gray walls, some pictures framed with simple black frames. Here are a few things that have inspired me color wise...

One of my favorite blogs (even though I'm not a Mom) is the blog MY MOM SHOPS. And, it just so happens, as I was sifting through my Google Reader blogs today that I discovered that she POSTED ABOUT EMMA J CARDS! WOOHOO! Thanks so much!
