Seagull Gray Walls and Chalk Painted Furniture?

I’m so excited that this weekend we are actually going to be painting our bedroom.  We’ve addressed all the other bedrooms first – John’s, Conor’s and the guest room.  But now it is our turn and I can’t wait to turn our ‘dumping’ area into a proper place to rest my head and an area to prop my feet up and read a book.

As many of you know, I LOVE to paint!  I don’t love ceilings though so I always leave that bit for my husband.  Sunday should be pretty easy because our bedroom walls are already a shade of gray.  We will be using Seagull Gray by my friends at The Paint Exchange (Massachusetts’ only paint recycling manufacturer) located in North Scituate.

But I was quashed by my husband.  He said he’d feel sick in a room like this.  So we are going to coat the full walls in Seagull Gray.

I love the grain sack quality along with the subdued stripes.  I guess if I can’t have them on the wall than I’ll talke them on a pillow!

So, I got to thinking….maybe I should paint it?!?  My husband, like most men I know, likes wood to be wood color.  I agree that there should be some warm wood tones, but I love painted pieces, too.  And for me to have it redone in the same style would cost a lot more than I paid for it.  What do you think?  Shall I paint it?
