GOODBYE GRAY HELLO BEIGE

It seems like everyone is painting walls white and kitchens gray.  

Until now.

I am here to tell you that gray is done.

Yep.....kaput....finished.....finito....

I don't mean that in a "What!  I just painted everything gray" kind of done but it might be time to retire the obsession.

You knew it couldn't last forever people.....trends come and go and when I don't get excited about seeing a pretty gray kitchen then I know I'm ready to move on.....

So what's next?  I think ivory and beige are going to make a comeback.  

"WHAT......builder beige!"  I know......stab me in the eye.

I can just see all of you with your arms crossed and a scowl on your face right now so simmer down and lets see if I can open your minds a little.

Are you just not buying it?  I know....I was on the gray and white bandwagon pretty strong.  But we have to keep it fresh right!

Be open to change:)
