i picked a paint color and it was love at first sight...

Busy, busy, busy. That has been my week.

I did however manage to stop by the "Creative Paint" store close to my house to get some Benjamin Moore samples for my bedroom. I'm going to paint my room "Kendall Charcoal". As soon as I saw the color I knew I wouldn't have to look anymore, it was love at first sight. It's a warm charcoal, not blue, which is what I wanted so that my yellow suzani would pop nicely. I think the actual paint chip looks a little darker than in the "virtual fan deck" below. You get the idea though...

I'm liking the colors in the room below, this picture from Beach Bungalow 8 has been in my inspiration folder for months and I just pulled it out because it has the same yellow and gray combination that I want in in my bedroom. I think I'm going to have a few more pops of color, like red, blues, and black (those colors are in my suzani anyways). I want my room to have an overall darker feel than the room below, but I think this is still a great example of the yellow and gray combination.

What do you think? Ever painted a dark gray room?

*update: I realized my "paint chip" clashes with my blog header....is it weird that it bothers me? :)
