Graphite grey

Sometimes it takes is a leap of faith when you plan a re-decorating project. Having a smaller house is perfect when you decide to do something very different. After all, it would be impossible to make a huge mistake!









I did not make a mistake ~ I really love the Graphite paint shade used here in the entry and along the short hallway. I've learned it's hard to photograph an almost black space ~ the walls on each side of the door ARE the same color but appear different due to the light.




I've put a few items back in place. I have some new ideas. Would like a small candelabra with crystal prisms for the table behind the door ~ a little 'bling' as someone commented. On the long wall, not visible in these images, I may replace the oil painting with a large mirror to open up the narrow hallway.

I'm pleased with this look. It's still neutral and works so well with the new dining room color ~ and no way is it a 'black hole' which was a concern for dh! By the way, he hasn't seen it yet but will in a few hours when I bring him home from the airport. Keep your fingers crossed that he'll like it!
