We did white above the chair rail in our bathroom and it is just so plain.The pink is pretty but I can see why you might want a different shade. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gray-or-white-above-chair-rail#post-1808642 Mon, 11 Aug 2014 06:34:25 +0000 looch 1808642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I personally like the pink, but I know myself well enough to say that if I don't like something, I can't get over it and it will annoy me to no end. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gray-or-white-above-chair-rail#post-1807762 Sun, 10 Aug 2014 09:12:32 +0000 sorrycharlie 1807762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@daniellemybelle: what grey did you end up using? :) we're trying to narrow down greys! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gray-or-white-above-chair-rail#post-1784441 Mon, 28 Jul 2014 07:44:31 +0000 daniellemybelle 1784441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pui: @bunnylovesbear: Oh, thanks!

I wouldn't do a stark white like most trim is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gray-or-white-above-chair-rail#post-1783825 Sun, 27 Jul 2014 16:53:55 +0000 ladybee 1783825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@daniellemybelle: oh I think the white will look great! Honestly though, if you think you can't live with it than Id say something. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gray-or-white-above-chair-rail#post-1783824 Sun, 27 Jul 2014 16:53:54 +0000 daniellemybelle 1783824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ladybee: Oh, that's so pretty! But definitely more work than just doing another coat of a lighter shade. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gray-or-white-above-chair-rail#post-1783822 Sun, 27 Jul 2014 16:53:06 +0000 ladybee 1783822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@daniellemybelle: if you really don't care for it you could stencil on the pink with white. </p> [attach=2199/14/n9e4si.400x600.image.jpg] [attach=2199/14/n9e4sk.600x397.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gray-or-white-above-chair-rail#post-1783821 Sun, 27 Jul 2014 16:52:54 +0000 daniellemybelle 1783821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ladybee: We have a big glider that is light tan. The crib &amp; dresser are white. The crib has a white ruffly skirt that matches the white ruffly curtains, which are the exact same as the inspiration picture. So a lot of white! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gray-or-white-above-chair-rail#post-1783817 Sun, 27 Jul 2014 16:49:29 +0000 ladybee 1783817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@daniellemybelle: what color is your furniture? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gray-or-white-above-chair-rail#post-1783811 Sun, 27 Jul 2014 16:46:48 +0000 daniellemybelle 1783811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ladybee: @avivoca: Thanks, ladies. I am really trying to let it grow on me. It's a bit Pepto Bismol... but I really think when everything is in the room, it will not be as overwhelming.</p> <p>I kind of want to ask DH what he thinks about mixing in a little white paint for the second coat, but I don't want to hurt his feelings. He's so proud. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gray-or-white-above-chair-rail#post-1783251 Sat, 26 Jul 2014 20:29:46 +0000 avivoca 1783251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@daniellemybelle: I really like it! I love the way the pink pops against the grey. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gray-or-white-above-chair-rail#post-1783187 Sat, 26 Jul 2014 18:42:08 +0000 ladybee 1783187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@daniellemybelle: I see what you mean about the pink in comparison to the inspiration photo. Take the inspiration photo away and I think it looks GREAT! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gray-or-white-above-chair-rail#post-1783183 Sat, 26 Jul 2014 18:36:21 +0000 daniellemybelle 1783183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So here it is! I love the gray - it looks even better in person.</p> <p>DH &amp; I had a miscommunication about the pink unfortunately and it's more bubble gum than I wanted. What do you think? I feel like it will work once the furniture is in since it won't show as much. It still needs another coat. </p> [attach=1379/14/n9cewm.450x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gray-or-white-above-chair-rail#post-1771517 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 11:14:42 +0000 snowjewelz 1771517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There are a lot of very light gray's out there.

Here's a picture of it (okay, of the table but you see the grey too) </p> [attach=3089/14/n91lkf.600x448.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gray-or-white-above-chair-rail#post-1770513 Sun, 20 Jul 2014 21:32:10 +0000 daniellemybelle 1770513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone! I'm thinking Benjamin Moore Moonshine? It has that slight blueish tint @Mrs. Grizzly Bear: was talking about.</p> <p><a href="http://www.pinterest.com/explore/moonshine-benjamin-moore/" rel="nofollow">http://www.pinterest.com/explore/moonshine-benjamin-moore/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gray-or-white-above-chair-rail#post-1770475 Sun, 20 Jul 2014 21:05:55 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 1770475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ladybee: I'm actually not a fan either but after a year of it being up on the walls, its kinda grown on me. Especially once I was able to put up some bright blue curtains. It softened the grey up. I might miss it in the next month or so when we paint the office purple but I'm really ready for the grey to go! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gray-or-white-above-chair-rail#post-1770462 Sun, 20 Jul 2014 20:52:00 +0000 ladybee 1770462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Grizzly Bear: I'm not a huge fan of grey but the light blue grey sounds lovely </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gray-or-white-above-chair-rail#post-1770457 Sun, 20 Jul 2014 20:46:17 +0000 LBee 1770457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Grizzly Bear: I actually thought this as well. It's like a very very light robin's egg blue mixed with grey undertones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gray-or-white-above-chair-rail#post-1770451 Sun, 20 Jul 2014 20:42:17 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 1770451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I may be seeing things but it actually looks like a very pale blue grey in the picture, which is what we currently have up in my office (from the previous owners). The blue grey works great because it can make white pop, works well with pastels or deeper colors, and depending on how you accessorize it can look more blue or more grey. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gray-or-white-above-chair-rail#post-1770449 Sun, 20 Jul 2014 20:40:32 +0000 swedishfish 1770449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd probably go with white. </p>
