We have lived in this house 3 years and 3 months and are on our 3rd color of paint. We had tan then brown and now elephant gray. I love it. It looks so pretty in person with the white fireplace and trim and my color furniture. We aren't done but had to show my friends. The house is a mess and nothing on the walls. We had a quilt hanging behind the tv but Steve said he likes it better without the 'blanket' on the wall. So now what do I do? Yes that is my small 7ft tree...it looks so tiny in there with the 13-15ft ceilings but now the year I buy a big one the Air Force will move us so I am sticking with this one. I hope you can tell it's gray. Suggestions for what to hang on the wall welcome! Oh I was thinking a big clock....Bethany are you reading this? I LOVED how in your living room in Germany you had just a big clock on the wall and that was it...it was stunning and thought about that. And curtains...what do you think I should do. Do I need them? Poor Steve just got home and is doing all this for me...I had no plans on doing this...I sure need to be nice to him.

It looks great! I love that color. I think a big clock sounds really pretty!
I love the color! It was exactly how I pictured it would turn out! I think the clock is a must. Not sure about curtains. Are they really a necessity?
LOVE the new color. And a big clock would be ay cool.
Got our card today...so beautiful.
Loved catching up with you the other night after your painting binge hun! Why oh why do we always wait so long between phone calls?!? ;)
I love how the grey color turned out. It is just wonderful and so 'you'!
I think a huge wall clock would be fun. Maybe Steve can find you one for Christmas?

Love the color! Very elegant! I've got an awesome new big clock! I need to post it soon. It's green, but could be painted and would look great!
I love the color. How about this idea...http://nestingplacenc.blogspot.com/2008/01/window-mistreatment-101.html

I don't think i've actually commented on your blog before, but i love visiting your site. You are so amazingly talented! I wish you could come give my home some of your magic!
I love the gray paint color! We are actually getting ready to paint our son's room some form a gray (haven't decided yet). Do you mind me asking what was the color of brown you had in your living room before you painted it gray? I loved it and am thinking of painting my living room again (shhh, don't tell my hubby!).
Oh, I love it! Your living room looks so beautiful! That is a perfect shade of gray, too! I think curtains would be a really nice addition to the room, but if you don't need ones that are for privacy's sake, what about ones that frame the window, like a swag of some sort? I know whatever you decide to do, the room be be gorgeous! :)
I wish it weren't so dark and rainy here all winter. And fall. And spring. Or I would definitely paint a room in gray! The closest I got to this was using it as an accent color in our bedroom! :)
Have a good night! :)
