a master bedroom dream begins

I’m gearing up for another decorating bonanza in my home….and this time, it’s our master bedroom.
I often have these moments where I’m in bed, drifting off to sleep, when out of nowhere a home decor image bolts into my brain and all of a sudden I’m WIDE AWAKE and feeling the need to DO IT NOW!!!
Ya, so that happened a few weeks ago in regards to my bedroom, and the moment it happened I texted my sister (who is as ob.sessed as I) to make sure it could work.
I saw visions of gray walls, with accents of black and white, and a burst of kelly green.  It was perfect in my brain, and all I needed was an inspiration room to get me started.
Lo and behold, yesterday as I was skimming through my fave design blogs I came upon this image:
Office 13
SHUT THE FRONT DOOR!!!
Someone else had my vision!!!
In their home!!!
I almost died.
In fact, I was like, I. DIE.

I may have to go more the route of this gray paint though, since I don’t want to go too dark for bedroom walls:

{not sure where i found this picture, but I do quite love!}
Anyway…
I’m super excited, super ready, and super impatient…
Because it may still be another week or two before we can even begin.
In time…in time.
So, what do you guys think?  
Dark or light with the gray?

  1. Light… and are you sure you don’t want to go with that purdy red shade in the second pic instead of green? Lol. Either way, can’t wait to see what you do. Our bedroom is blue and dark brown. I love the colors but it really needs some decor and sprucing up. Hopefully someday I’ll have a middle of the night vision, too 🙂

  2. Ours is the light gray with black trim 🙂

  3. Wow, I love the combination of grey, white, black and this fabulous green!
    I am sure your bedroom will look fantastic!!

  4. I like the light grey. If our house didn’t have this dumb blue carpet upstairs I would have painted our bedroom a grey color but I didn’t think it looked right, so we went with a dark tan instead.

  5. I am a fan of dark saturated colors so I would vote for the dark gray.

    I love this bedroom design. Can’t wait to see it finished.

  6. Ooooh I can’t wait to see what you come up with! I def like the light gray better. it’s a little more neutral. Quite a few years ago we did a darker gray color and loved it for like a month, but then found it hard to work with when we wanted to change things around. I love that first pic!!!

  7. I am in LOVE with the dark gray. You should check out her house.. Her bedroom is dark gray. LOVE.http://windhula.blogspot.com/

  8. light… that is what i am doing for mine, but my room is also in the basement, i loooove that last picture… i may have to paint MY dresser red!

  9. I have Martha Stewart Squirrel Tail (dark) in my dining room and her Bedford Gray (lighter) in my bedroom. The lighter was is to die for, but i don’t think that the kelly green and black accents would pop as much. The lighter is more suited for soothing stuff.
    just my unsolicited opinion.

  10. Hmm…I’m also thinking dark, I LOOOOOVE that color…doing it in my living room with black & white accents!!

  11. we have an awesome grayish brown color in our room – i want to say it’s called coastal villa? i wasn’t sure at first, but i love it! gray is a good color that can be so neutral and match so many things. good luck!

  12. We are planning on doing our bedroom grey also. Love it!

  13. Love love love gray walls! My bedroom walls are gray and I think it’s perfection for a bedroom. It’s a perfect mix of warm and cool. I always struggle with warm and cool in bedrooms. I like both but I really think your bedroom needs to put you in a calm frame of mind… so gray is the perfect choice!

  14. Absolutely beautiful. You have a great vision for style.

  15. Love, love, love this room!!! Absolutely beautiful!! Makes me want to go shopping and do some redecorating of my own!!!

  16. I am the same way when it comes to redecorating. If the idea enters my brain, it must be done. I am crossing my fingers that we will figure out a way to swing the new house. and barn, room for animals, eeeep! I already have tons of ideas for the spaces. I love the gray paint! I may have to add that to my list for our room. Hubs swears off anything bright.

  17. LOVE your blog, I just found you and I am a follower! I have to find out about your hair! And love the gray with a pop color = obsessions. Cannot wait to catch up with your blog! XOX!

  18. I like both of them…I think it depends on how much sun you get in your room. We are in the process of picking out “the gray” for our guest bedroom. Its still bare since we moved!

  19. I love the second picture! The red desk/dresser (can’t tell which it is?) is so cute! I’m obsessed with gray though, so either one would be good!
