Happy Hump Day, loyal friends,
Yesterday was fun. Matt stopped by with small sample cans of the three shades of gray we are considering for the master suite. We painted a swatch of each color, let that initial coat dry, then I painted a second coat a few hours later to get the true effect of how the colors would look on the walls.
The painted swatches are shown below. On the far left is Polar Star. In the middle is Gravity. On the right is Moondance.
We are going with Polar Star (left) for the master suite. It is actually less flat than it photographs, but it's just the right amount of gray to compliment the rest of the design of the master suite.
Surprisingly, we decided we liked Moondance (right) as the color for the primary walls in the rest of the house. We were really struggling with what to do for the main rooms, and had recently decided that we didn't want any more beige or yellow tones. Seeing Moondance on the wall and noticing just the right amount of silver and blue tones, we though it would be perfect for the rest of the house, especially since we're doing stainless steel appliances in the kitchen (catching those silver tones in the paint) and slate blue accent walls in the main rooms (picking up the blue shades).
I love it when we kill two birds with one stone.
The center color, Gravity, looked a little too much like primer. A whole room of that color could be kind of depressing.
Erik is back today working on the bathroom floor to get it ready for the tile guy. Matt said the pocket doors are on order, so they may be put up this week a well. It's all good news!

Same colors, different angle.
