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.

I love the gray and this new tool sounds like so much fun!!
My insides would explode if I won the sweepstakes…I’d redo my daughter’s room. She’s turning four and I’ve been wanting to do a princess-themed makeover for her birthday gift. Her favorite colors are purple and pink (or course), but I asked her for an accent color (not sure it she understood what that meant), and she chose yellow. I have some old vintage stuff that’s white and I think some new color in there would just be peachy keen!
Thanks for the opportunity to enter the sweepstakes!

Oh my…hmmm. Just one room? If pressed I would have to say that our family room is suffering from a pretty pronounced identity crisis!
Love what you have done with your living room. It’s sophisticated and elegant but very livable. Pat yourself on the back for a job well done!!!!

You your room is lovely. Especially like the horse print.
Our oldest daughter, who is starting her senior year at college, has officially moved out to an apartment leaving only gum wrappers and odd clothes in her room. Time to redecorate! I’d love to purchase a piece of art and use “chip it” to help me select my ShermwinWilliams paint colors!

We remodeled our kitchen/dining room and knocked out the barrier wall. Now it is open to the living room but it is all mostly painted the same one color.
I’d love to do my living/dining room walls to separate it from the kitchen area.
Your room is really gorgeous!!

You’ve done an amazing job with your living area. We are just in the thinking stages of a re-do but haven’t landed on anything quite yet. Congratulations on such a wonderful accomplishment!! Be especially blessed, Kathy

I want to work on my basement. It is finished but I want to make it cozier and more comfortable. I have been moving things around trying to figure it out but what it really needs is some color!

Beautiful classy room!! I would love to redo my family room with paint and a new sofa.

My studio, library, computer room, craft closet inhabit the same wee space. A mere 9′ by 9′ square! I’ve painted it 6 times (my husband jokes that it use to be a 10′ by 10′ space). It faces east and looks out upon my street. I watch the joggers and dog walkers in the summer and the sledders and snowplows in the winter. I love this room and hope the Chip It tool will lead me to the ultimate solution. So much the better if I win the Sherwin-Williams Sweepstakes!

Your living room is Gorgeous! Great job! I want to redo my library and the Chip it seems just the way to see how to pull it all together. I want to paint my bookshelves, change accessories and re-arrange furniture, but the painting of the bookshelves is a little scary…

Wow! Your room turned out beautifully! My kitchen is in serious need of some help! I can’t stand to look at it any longer!

I LOVE your room! I’ve always loved the gray tones! We have a very smallhouse and worry about going too dark! I would love to do work in my living room to update it a bit!

You had a great talent for pulling a room together. I would love to do over my office. It was the last in the house to be remodeled.. we started it but never finished.
