Gray kitchen, gray paint, gray siding; my new house is going to be gray, gray, gray. Now, don’t go getting all, isn’t that going to be gloomy on me. Gray is neutral and gorgeous, I can’t wait to add bright pops of color throughout the house to liven up those soft gray tones.
Now, about that house. Remember, the one my husband and I are building. Would you believe that it isn’t even under construction yet?! We’ve been in the planning process since July and let me tell you, it’s taking wayyyyyy longer than my husband and I expected. But, thats ok! Construction is set to start in the coming weeks and hey, I have most of my plans all set in place! Today, I’m going to share my plans for our kitchen. It’s gray and it’s gorgeous. if you ask me
We are planning a medium tone hardwood throughout, which I think is going to be warm against the gray. We are also going to have recessed lighting in addition to the pendant lighting over the peninsula. I can see a bouquet of bright pink peonies sitting on the counter now. 🙂

Girl, I wish I had more grey in my house! My sister just built her house a year ago and she has so much grey. Every time I’m over there I’m so jealous of all her neutrals. You’ll love it!
I am obsessed with grey! 🙂

I’ve been obsessing over gray lately when it comes to interior designing. I’ve been watching a lot of HGTV and they are all about gray on some of those shows. It’s such a great color and can be changed from a warm to cool color with the right accessories I guess you can say haha!

I agree gray is chic and classic. Clothing wise is my favorite neutral. I think if you add pops of pink and turquoise throughout the kitchen, it will look beautiful with the gray.
Oh gorgeous! I can’t wait to see how it looks once you get it done. I love gray, it’s soft and pretty and looks good with so many other colors. Great choices!
I’ve wanted a grey kitchen forever, so I’m extremely jealous!! Can’t wait to start seeing pics after you start!

Beautiful selections all around, Brooke! My kitchen is also grey and I love it with its white trim, black cabinets, and pops of apple green everywhere. It makes me happy. 🙂 I know you are looking forward to the start of construction. Have a great week!
I remember when we had to pick out our colors for our kitchen, it was tough! Have fun with the planning and designing your dream house.
Thank you for hosting and hope you are having a fab week!

Love gray, that seems to be the in thing right now. Two of my cousins just bought houses and both of their kitchens are gray too! We are thinking of doing a new back splash in our kitchen, Mr. HATES, and I mean HATES our current back splash. Which is funny because I don’t mind. I hate our cabinets. Funny what we pick out that we don’t like. Can’t wait to see the finished product!
I am a HUGE fan of grey (or gray? haha) for interior design.. love Benjamin Moore grey paints.. xxo

Thank you so much Laura!! I’m excited/nervous about how it’ll all turn out, I hope I’m making the right decisions!
Thanks so much Marta!!! As I’m writing this I’m contemplating going with a white subway done in herringbone insteadif that tile…oh the decisions!! Lol
I love turquoise and pink with gray!! Great idea!
Thanks so much Shea! I hope it turns out like I’m seeing it in my head!
Eeeeee!! I’m in love with it, I hope I stay in love with it, I’m a little worried the gray cabinets will be too trendy but I’m going to go for it!
Thanks so much Rebecca, I can’t wait to share!!
So true! Anyone we’ve talked to that has also had a custom house built has told us the same so I’m trying to be patient, but it’s hard!
I’m so excited and can’t wait to share!
Your kitchen sounds gorgeous!!!!
Thanks so much Alice. I am struggling more than I thought I would with all of these decisions!
Thanks so much Kelly!
Gray for the winnnn!!!!
Glad to have a fellow gray lover! 🙂
It’s funny in our old house we designed and chose everything but by the time we moved out I hated all of it! I wonder how long it will be before I’m tired of what I’m picking out now! Guess that’s why we’re always doing home reno!
Me too!!!! Gray (or grey haha!) is so soft and calming!
It must be incredibly exciting at this point. I’m sure that’ll turn out really elegant!

I’m totally in the mood for a grey kitchen right now with a nice white carerra marble countertop. I think grey is wonderful for a home (not gloomy) because it’s so easy to add pops of color. Great choice!

So much fun, and so much work! My husband and I have a door/cabinet/bath hardware company, and I know how many decisions there are to make. Such a fun adventure though!
Gray is always a good color for kitchens, sobre and very neutral! Love it! x
