"THE PERFECT GREIGE"...the mixing of neutral & texture

"THE PERFECT GREIGE"...in our master bedroom...

Let me start by saying we have a VERY small master in our home.  It's been fine for us,  but after almost 20 years and having decorated it a couple of different ways, this redo is proof that its not how much space you have but what you do with that space...

I LOVE the way this turned out!!

We started last spring with painting our bedroom furniture from a dark orangey wood to an antiqued white, we changed the hardware using my old kitchen glass knobs, purchased new bedding & window treatments,  added some new wall decor and finally decided on a new wall color:  

Sherwin Williams Perfect Greige...

Below are some before and after photos...

take a peek and let me know what you think..

I'll start with the "afters" ....

this first photo is my favorite area of the room and shows the use of lots of texture...

sorry for the bad lighting situation
(I tried everything to get it brighter)
but hoping you get the idea....

Again, texture is so important when decorating with neutrals, the curtain panels, basket and fabric add that...

I'm going to be making new pillows for the bed using the
fabric that I chose to cover the footstool...

"LOVE" canvas purchased at TJ MAXX and framed with a  lovely frame I found at  the Country Living  Fair last year...

I added black and white family photos to a
 weathered black frame...

I was finishing up with the walls here...
The photo below is  the only wall decor that was in the room before...
I painted the frame to fit in better with the new decor...

Here are some before photos....

I think you'll see why I'm so happy now...:)

Let the dark orange wood transformation begin!!

Out with the orange & in with the antique white...
WOOHOO!!!

Old tag sale foot stool before & after...

Sweet dreams....
