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.

OH – and forgot to say that I know we would make over our Library in a heartbeat if we won! We already have the overflowing amount of books…just need to make the built-ins, the cozy seating area, lighting, paint the walls and ceiling…you know: the works! 🙂
Laura/Pet Scribbles says
Your living room looks amazing! What a transformation from the masculine look the room previously had (which was also nice!) I love that this color palette looks so soft yet is very “neutral” i.e. would appeal to men and women. You did a gorgeous job on this Karen!

I would use Chip It! in my kitchen. I have a difficult time envisioning what colors to combine with red, especially cabinets, without making it look like Christmas.

Those colours are absolutely phenomenal–auite soothing–that said, I’d make my bedroom over in a heartbeat!

I’d give my bedroom a makeover. I like my bed, but athat’s it. After 11 years our room is still plain white and boring.

I love the Chip It tool! Thanks for sharing! I am newly engaged and my fiance and I are doing some home makeovers in several rooms– Kitchen, dining room, living room, and bedroom. The first to start will be the kitchen, so I’m thrilled to now have a paint color tool to work with! We are thinking white/light gray/dark gray/blue to start with, and accent with pops of lime and orange! So excited to get started!

I love your living room, especially the horse over the sofa. Is that one of your graphics? I would love to make one like it!

Actually my hope is by next summer I will be in a new home! So if this was my win, I would save it for that. Till then I can dream 🙂

I would love to use the tool to make over my bedroom! It’s been “Cinderella Blue” since I was in 8th grade, including a Cinderella light cover…I’ll be 29 next month. I think it’s time for a makeover!
