A pleasant shade of gray

Our master bath has been the Partridge Family bus for the past TWO years. Yes, two years, I can hardly believe it myself. Two years ago, to the month, I stripped the wallpaper down and continued my ongoing search for the perfect serene gray/blue/green tint I saw in Martha Stewart's pantry.

I had at least five plus attempts at the right color in a checkerboard on my wall when I enlisted the neighborhood designer for hue help. After much deliberation we ended up with gray, yes gray, or actually it was Subtle Hue from Sherwin-Williams.

So, two years ago I went and bought a gallon of Subtle Hue to color our world and spent a fortune on a wallpaper border to boot.

To make a long story short, Subtle Hue and the wallpaper have sat on a shelf in the store room for two years because I honestly believe I couldn't bring myself to paint my bathroom gray, yes gray.

Yesterday for some reason I woke up and decided to take Subtle Hue off the shelf and begin painting, finally (yes, Nik - finally). I have painted like a damn fool for two days and it is done.

My bathroom isn't gray, yes gray, but the long sought after perfect, Martha Stewart pantry, serene gray/blue/green tint I have been searching for hiding for the past two years in my store room disguised as a little color called Subtle Hue.

When do I get to come see it? (sounds like a perfect opportunity to come visit. Of course, I'm not sure I want KG and JG in the same 5 mile radius, but I'm willing to sacrifice to see the potty pantry).
