Have we talked about them before? I adore their house!

Little bit of gray overload, but not bad. I like the use of darker paint.

LOL - I'm reading this blog right now after it being linked from House*Tweaking. I love their dark living room with the trim and the painting in their dining room.

I read this blog everyday! One of my top favorites! Such a cute family too.

That's how I found it lol!

I pinned the studio recently! I should add this to my list of blogs. LOTS of gray but it's not bad overall.

forgot about that blog! I remember falling in love with the color palate she posted for her house. it was one of the first things I pinned, I think.

I've been following her blog for about a year now, and have really liked seeing the evolution of their house. I love her artwork and bought one of her paintings on etsy! I have yet to hang it though

I love their gallery walls, though I don't know that I'd want that many in my own house. Definitely some fun ideas there!

And yeah, I thought my house had a lot of gray, but theirs is insane! I think they've really balanced it nicely with lots of white, but it still looks like it could use a little more of the turquoise-blues and yellows they've got in there as accents already.

I don't like it at all

Ooh I really like her art too! The giant piece on the dining room wall is great!

I like it, but it doesn't look lived in. Maybe that's just for the blog, though. I am kinda 'eh' about it.

[simpsongal]

Gray overload. It's so much better than before, but I think this house will look very 2010s in ten years.

Missed opportunity on the kitchen cabinets - they love gray, I think gray or a color would have looked better than white. With the white pantry door it's white overload. And they really need to add hardware.

I like the painted black railing on the staircase. I don't think I like painted railings other than a glossy black or navy - it works.

The ottoman crammed into the mudroom space just seems silly to me. At least a wood bench would have looked less cramped.

It's amazing how much more inviting the house loks with a red door versus the white.

Oooh, I mostly love their house, although I'm a bit more into color.

I agree with simpsonsgal about the kitchen. They should have painted the cabinets gray or painting the pantry door another color. Hardware will do that a lot of favors.

I really don't like kids' rooms that are so different than the rest of the house, like this one. The green is pretty, but not when compared to a mostly gray house.

I do think that overall what they've done to their generic builder grade home is really inspiring.

Does anyone know where they got that arc floor lamp in their living room? I would love one like that. I saw one at cb2 but the shade looks to be much bigger on the one they have.

It is the one from CB2. She talks about it in this post: www.chrislovesjulia.com/2012/05/new-lamp-love.html

ETA: For some reason, my link isn't opening in another window. Sorry!

Thanks! I actually misread the description on CB2. I thought it was saying it was 10" wide but I think they must mean 10" tall. 10" wide seemed very small for that lamp. Think I'm going to order it!

Holy grey! I love grey, but that is a LOT.
