What precise shade of gray is that? I've been thinking about something similar for my living room.

Can you tell me the exact brand and name/number of the paint color you used? It's perfect!

The shade of gray is from Sherman Williams called "Argos" (7065). In bright sunlight it gives off a slight blue tint.

The coffee table is from 2modern. It's made by Boom. It's called the Metro

Lovely. Mannequins are spooky though, but I guess it is my problem.. The skirt or the pants on it look like something from JC de Castelbajac :)

I'm not in love with your paint colors, but I like your furniture. I hope you get "favorited" a lot.

Love the grey.

Where did you get your planter? I've been looking for something like that for a while now. Did you make it?

I made the planter.

I took 3 Ikea BJURÖN plant pots and connected them together. Then added wooden legs from Ace Hardware and used angle mounting plates. Used a natural color stain and coated with polyurethane. It was a pretty simple project. The plants were from Ikea too.
