Sherwin Williams Gray Living Room: The Big Reveal!
This is the big reveal for my Sherwin Williams Gray Living Room, with the Gauntlet Gray paint that I selected! I hope you enjoy this tour, I’m really in love with this color and I’m very pleased with how it turned out.
You may recall that I selected Sherwin-Williams Gauntlet Gray for my walls, and I am thrilled with how gorgeous that color looks in this room!
I love how easily the Chip It! tool brought everything together. I was able to pull from both of the inspiration photos to get the exact look I was hoping for. Sherwin-Williams Bee’s Wax color is represented in the natural tones of the sisal rug, and the horse-print frame is a perfect match for Sherwin-Williams (SW) Tricorn Black!
I used lots of white touches (shown as SW Extra White on the palette) to add some lightness and contrast to the gray. This loveseat was previously in my family room, but it really wasn’t the right size for that space so it worked out great moving it in here. I popped in lots of pieces of Ironstone from my collection and I splurged on the white glass lamps, but it was sooo worth it!
The mirrors, end tables, coffee table, horse art and chairs all came from the shop that I recently closed down. Perfect timing on that one!
I was so excited to find these Ikat Pillows that incorporate the SW Heartthrob red and the SW Dragonfruit pink!
I’ve had that long sofa table in my garage for over a year! I may end up painting it to match the coffee table. The print is a family heirloom and I snagged the antique concrete urn at Lucketts. I love displaying old garden pieces inside my home. I still need to fill the urn with something.
We’ll see! I think the living room looks just as nice as the dining room now!
This was my first inspiration photo. I chipped it and used Gauntlet Gray for the walls. It’s a funny photo of a Swallow bird with a baby. It had a lot of interesting grays in it though, so I thought it would make a good color palette.
This was my second inspiration photo. I chipped it too and used these colors to pull my accessories together. A big thanks again to Chassity from Look Linger Love for letting me use her dining room photo! I hope you enjoyed this tour of my Sherwin Williams Gray Living Room. Don’t be afraid to try a darker color in your home, I highly recommend that Gauntlet Gray Paint color, I get so many compliments on it.

The pillow adds the perfect splash of feminine color to the beautiful gray walls. Perfectly pleasing to the eye. Great job.

i’d love to paint my bathroom with chip it! i have left it white just because i couldn’t make a decision on my own. we’ve been here for about 7 years and i have painted every other room. it was added on and enlarged before we moved in and so the wall shapes are cool…and screams to be painted because of this…but i have just been afraid. with this win, i would dive in and have fun with it! your living room looks fantastic!

I need a couple more things for my livingroom and I want to freshen up my bedroom and I am especially excited about redecorating my daughter’s bedroom after her wedding — I will finally have the nice guest room I have always wanted! cindi

What an awesome tool! I love it! Thanks for pointing me to it.
I would LOVE to redo my great room. It consists of my family room, dining room and kitchen. We’ve lived here for 18 years and it is definitely time for a redo! Especially after raising five kids – four boys and one girl – in it! : )

I really need to completely re-do my combination living room/dining room. The place looks like a post-college apartment with nothing but bad hand-me-down furniture. Not even nice stuff like you have.

that gray is beautiful, good choice! We recently moved and I now have a studio space that could use a good coat of paint!

My living room and kitchen need a drastic makeover. Thanks for the chip it video. I am going to try out colors on my living room. Love you gray.

I’d love to repaint my kitchen/pantry ~ it’s a sort of almond color with grey cabinets in the kitchen and white in the pantry. I’m not quite sure what color I’d repaint, but I’m partial to yellow and lime green.
Loving your living room ~ looks like it’s right out of a magazine!
Thanks for the chance!!!

my kitchen is next! We re-did it when the kids were but need more storage. I would like to take 4 feet out to f the side and build a pantry. I would like to cut french doors into the back wall, and add a walk out porch. This sweepstakes and the sherwin william prize would sure help!

I think my kitchen or master bedroom could use a little help. We make a lot of our own things out of recycling old broken furniture and turning it into something else. Those 2 rooms have been set aside and could use a little pick me up!!

Your living room turned out GORGEOUS! I like it so much better than the red. I would never have thought to paint walls grey, but the more I see people doing it, the more I love it!
Fingers crossed that I am the lucky winner and can do some MUCH needed redecorating in my living room.
Thank you for the opportunity!

WOW! Your living room is Outstanding. It really looks great.
I like your throw pillows and vase of flowers to give that extra ‘pop’ of color to the room.

Our kitchen opens up to our living room, with just an island separating them. We just recently painted our kitchen an olive green, with white cabinets, and matte black and maroon accents. I would LOVE to be able to repaint our living room now and get it out of the 1970’s. It would make the entire 2-room space look SO much better. I am also thinking of grey walls, as I think it would tie in nicely with the kitchen colors. There is so much I could do if I won this giveaway….thank you so much for the chance!
