When we moved into our little townhouse last October, the renovation list quickly grew longer and longer. Needless to say, the entire house needed a fresh coat of paint, once we quickly removed the tacky early 90s wallpaper borders that had infested the rooms. I knew that I wanted to paint the entire main floor a sort of "greige" (grey + beige), and I soon found it in Ralph Lauren's "Neutral Grey." It is a warmer grey that works nicely on the open main floor. We painted, and added our new cream leather couch and black and cream accents. I was soon concerned that there wasn't enough colour though: my plan was to add an accent colour (preferably a bold yellow), but I was afraid that my palette may be too neutral.
It was then that Domino magazine (now out of publication) came to my rescue with its feature of Jenna Lyons' brownstone. As you can see from the picture below, her design palette was exactly what I was picturing, and to see it complete fueled my original plans. While I am not quite ready to post pictures (a few more things to be done first, like the curtains!), I will eventually show you my humble version that I have created.
