For those impatient readers….
the work crew…uhmmm….me…
is still working…
Husband and both kids on vacation …
so I’m occasionally slacking on the job
Here are some paint dabs to show you
which way the wind is blowing….
My final choice gray for the master bedroom is a mix I made
of Benjamin Moore White Heron and Pratt & Lambert Feather Gray…
closest out of bucket paint is Benjamin Moore Athena…
Benjamin Moore Olympic Mountains also good…

Love all the movement and color fluctuation…
but eventually settled on soothing and calm…
I pulled out all my favorite bedding to make
sure whatever wall color I chose would be
able to adapt to a quick mood change..
from aquas and natural linens…
to a whole range of grays…
Even an inky graphite silk velvet quilted throw…
Neutral enough to be backstage to the outside garden, architectural salvage or
flea market finds, light enough to weather foggy weather and winter skies…
Enough color to embrace my antique barometer
so that it’s not floating unconnected on the wall…
but not so dark that it doesn’t stand out…
For MUCH more exciting goings on…

Beautiful, Trish. Love the beautiful blue/silver/gold fabrics.
A room so dreamy ethereal and romantic. Love the mirrors, and the glass design of the Armouir- soothing and reflective.
‘Marie Antoinette would be thrilled with the bed linens –exquisite fabrics, excellent choices, they will pull the whole room together.
Have a lovely week end,
Cheers,

lovely….
I am impressed you are getting anything done being alone. Sometimes it’s just too tempting to play! Then the day before everyone returns, you get a surge of adrenalin and finish the projects.
Nice gray! We all knew it would be perfect.
