I'm kind of obsessed with various shades of grey.  Let's be honest- it's pretty obvious.  But I love the image on the left- white upper wall with a dark charcoal on the bottom.  It's like the anti-wainscotting.  It's vivid without being too trendy or crazy.

Dear Dave,
How about the compromise of painted table and stained chairs?  Thoughts?

I like the dark grey with the white wainscotting and the crown molding. It makes a nice balance.

Great light grey color on the walls. The room is sparse, but nice. Also, still deciding if I like the ying-yang-ed lamps on the sides. Great or odd?

So the wall and window trim are painted white, but the pane parts (what is the word for those?) are black. Rather lovely.

If I had found this headboard on the side of the road I would have been all dramatic and made gagging sounds, but refurbished and decorated in the after picture- I kind of love it. Maybe it's the dark gray paint (Honestly, I'm a little obsessed with the gray lately. I think I blame Washington. Zing!), but I want to climb in this bed and watch The Royal Tennenbaums or something.

Is this ceiling horribly cheesy or very interesting?

Is this milk paint or some amazing marble-ish finish? I love the patina look of it.
