Glidden Granite Gray Bedroom Walls!

Well, I finally got my bedroom painted this weekend. Yay! You may remember what it looked like before:

It was kinda of a creamy green color. Not hideous, but definitely NOT what I was going for.

I lived with these three swatches on the wall for a few weeks,




Pebble Gray, Granite Gray, Seal Gray.

and then finally decided on the middle color, Granite Gray by Glidden.

The color was very light in the can, and as I started painting it on, it started drying PURPLE! I'll admit I was a little freaked out for a little bit, but once it fully dried, it was true to the paint sample and came out a beautiful, medium gray color.

And here's the after!

I also finally got my rug pads and set up my new rugs from Ikea!

 I really, really love this color. It is the perfect medium gray, just dark enough for a romantic, calming bedroom; but not so dark that it feels like a cave. Here's a close up of the color:

Lovely! I'm thinking about using the lighter color, Pebble Gray, for my closet and bathroom. That's a project for another day! Next up for the bedroom, curtains, bed linens, and some art!
