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 need this soooo bad!! I have been needing to make over my bedroom for some time now. You see, my Mr. Wonderful is gone now, and we decided on the room color together and he surprised me one day with having it completely done for us..It’s been a few years now and I definitely want to do-it-over. It’s time now to make it mine, with a more feminine touch, just for me.:) Thanks for the opportunity!! Heading over to Chip it @ Sherwin-Williams to do a little dreaming!
Thanks and Many Blessings,

I truly love your living room! The gauntlet grey is so calming and looks so rich! If I were to win this giveaway, I would do my sons room and ask if I could use the gauntlet grey as the main color as well? This color looks beautiful and I’m thinking he would be able to relax and fall asleep much better!

Karen, Gray is my favorite color!! I adore your new living room! Can I just take it and put it in my house?? I’ve been admiring that horse print in a local boutique for a while now and to see it in your room makes me want it even more!

I would like to makeover my bedroom. I brought a new puppy into the house a few months ago, and he has made a mess of several things, including my carpet. It would be lovely to have new carpeting and and a fresh start. On a side note, thanks for all you do. I really enjoy your graphics. Credating projects with them offer me a much needed chance to have fun and relax.
