Hello World! As promised, here are the new paint colors. So far, I have the foyer, dining room, and kitchen painted. I know it’s crazy, but I couldn’t help myself. Below are the inspiration pictures that tipped me over into the gray family.
I’ve been crushing on gray for quite some time. When I saw the above pictures, I was sold. I didn’t want to go quite as dark gray as these, but I wanted the blue/gray that would look great with my blue and white as well as my new favorite accent color, black.
The color is Pelican Gray by Benjamin Moore. It reads more of a slate blue/gray in the dining room and foyer with all of the blue and white.
In the kitchen, we have Pebble Beach which is also a Benjamin Moore color.
I love how it pops next to the white trim and plantation shutters. The plan is to paint the rest of the downstairs with the pebble beach color and paint all of the interior doors black.
So, there it is. The painting is going super quick since I really like these colors. I’m hoping to have the downstairs completed with the new colors by the end of the weekend. Then I will start working on the doors slowly.
Thanks for popping in for a look.

Very beautiful colors! I had a navy and white dining room in one house and really loved it.
Beautiful, Kathryn! I need to tackle the job of repainting rooms in our home. You are inspiring me! Thanks!
The new colors look great! They're gray but blue enough to coordinate with the rest of your home. Good choices!
I love how soft those greys are.
Beautiful! The gray has just enough blue to make your dishes pop! Great choice!
I am a it of a fan of grey too….works with everything. I love that Pebble grey in the kitchen!
Thanks for linking up to Marvelous Monday on Smart Party Planning.
I love gray! When we built our house earlier this year, I went with gray in all the main rooms. It's perfect.

I have always loved the grey tones more so than the tans. But alas, we have cream walls throughout most of our home. That's what they were when we bought it and they looked bran spanking new so I couldn't justify repainting. I have added some color in some of the rooms. When we finished our basement I went with a Whetstone grey by Benjamin Moore. It's a light grey tone, but most people don't even realize it's grey. Love BJ paint! It goes on so nicely. Love the colors that you chose Kathryn! Thanks for sharing with SYC.
