Recently got intellectual in my son’s room for a wall and it has given an amazing dimension to the space. Matched with bright yellow thrown in some pieces of furniture, it is absolutely fantastic, as you've shown in a picture. Used correctly and in the right places, grey is one of the most beautiful colors. Loved the kitchen too. Grey and white has an amazing effect on the entire space.

Both seems to work equally as well for me. Also, if using painters tape, try and remove the tape while the paint is still wet, for the crispest lines. :)<br /><br />xo,<br />JenIHeart Organizinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05084013302005288836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-23594741289321537152013-05-01T16:45:18.113-05:002013-05-01T16:45:18.113-05:00I'm with you on the dark grey (sorry, I'm ...I'm with you on the dark grey (sorry, I'm English hence the spelling!) - just wondered what your technique is where the dark paint will meet the white?

It was so much fun!! The smartest move I made though was negotiating an extension to our lease where we didn't have to repaint, which worked well since I ended up pregnant with twins and on bedrest by the time we moved from that place (it was only a 1 bedroom)! So excited, glad you're going dark. :-)Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07910009569384956287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-49796941020299153442013-04-30T10:47:20.125-05:002013-04-30T10:47:20.125-05:00Hi Jen!

I just wrapped up a kitchen refresh for a friend of mine, and I sprayed her cabinets white, and she painted the walls in a gray called 'Elephant Skin'.
