{Almost} WW: Who Knew Monochrome Could Be So Cool in Grey?

Posted on the 06 August 2014 by Cheekymeeky

OK, I did. Grey along with its family members of white and black are my favorite colors and when we built and decorated our house, I tried my best to convince K that a grey wall would look lovely in our study. He wasn’t too convinced and so we ended up compromising with a grey-ish brown color, and now that’s our favorite room in the house.

Once all the painting was done, he admitted that he liked the grey-brown a lot more than he expected to. Sigh! We always learn things a bit too late

:(
. I am now waiting for the next time we paint our house and hopefully this time I will have more say in design decisions.

For now, as inspiration I look up to this lovely house, where they have dared to go grey throughout all the walls in their house.

Grey can work for a child's room too, I think

Of course being the water baby that I am, I think the best part of the house is this.

How come I never thought of it? This is the coolest idea!

I don’t think Snubnose will ever concede to going all grey in her room and why should she? It’s her room. But maybe she would like something along these lines.
