I got the opportunity to spruce up my guest room courtesy of Better Homes & Gardens and Wal-Mart. It was the perfect month to do this since we have 3 sets of guests coming this month. I showed you yesterday the sad state my guest room was in prior to the little remodel.
Then I decided to add a focal wall of molding and some Stonewall Jackson Gray paint from Dutch Boy to the room. It totally changed the look of the space and it is such an inviting place now. I am far from done…and I need your opinion to help finish the room.
But first here is the bedding I chose. It is Garden Elegance Coverlet with matching Shams. It has a light cream background with gray and black thread running through it with a light gray edging.
I was also able to keep the end table that I remade previously here since it was painted gray with a black glaze. Now I know I need pillows, accessories, art and some more furniture in the room. Here is where I need your help…
What accent color would you choose with my gray, cream and black bedroom?
Coral?
Purple?
Red?
Yellow?

Love the bedding! I’m looking to use similar colors in my MB but I’m looking to use a gray blue on the walls with blue accents. But I voted for the coral.
I voted =) Thanks for the chance to win!
I voted! I like the purple more than I would have thought. I think the grey tons it down and adds some masculinity.
I voted. My initial thought was “yellow!” but maybe yellow and grey are done together too frequently. So I chose purple. I think it will look fantastic.

I’ve always liked yellow with grey….
Not the SHOCKING flourescent yellow..
but a softer warmer yellow to sooth the coolness of the grey..
any of the colors would be beautiful..
why not incorporate flowers of the many hues into the accessories,,
or botanical prints of those flowers…
it all depends on the light in the room..
which way it is situated in relation to sunrises/sunsets..
can hardly wait for the reveal!!
warmest hugs..
Loui♥

I voted!
I love either the yellow just to brighten it up or the purple for the moodiness of it.
I voted for the coral!
I voted. I love, love, love the coral color. Some pillows in a few of the coral tones, and some other simple accessories in those colors , when combined with the gray and cream tones, will make the room enchanting. How about a bouquet of coral flowers, or autumn leaves or a wall print with the coral tones? I love room makeovers!
I voted! Good luck! What a fun project, inspired me.
i voted !!!!! yellow
I voted! Coral, coral, coral!!! 🙂

I voted! I was torn between the yellow and the coral! I think both would look great! !
I voted (for purple)! Everyone’s doing yellow!
I voted for purple. I know that grey and yellow are really “in” right now, but I LOVE that plum shade of purple you have pictured. I think it would look more peaceful and elegant than the “trendy” yellow & grey. This is reminding me that I have been neglecting our guest room and need to go make some decisions in there as well.
I voted for yellow! I hope I win the $100!!
I voted – Coral all the way!!!
I voted for Coral!
I voted!
I voted. Hard to choose between the coral and the purple – gotta pick just the right shade of each or it’s gonna look yuck! Then again, I’ve seen alot of yellow and gray “stuff” out there too…..Can’t wait to see which one you pick. BTW, the wall is GORGEOUS… Way to Go!
I voted!
I think the coral adds a spark to the grey.

I feel like the purple or red is the safe color choice — and you are SO NOT the kind of person to go with “safe” color! I really like the yellow and gray I see around these days, but I think the coral would add the right amount of color but maintain a soothing and restful feel to the room.
I voted! RED, RED, RED!!! Red is my pick, but it’s my very favorite color! (Actually, you picked 4 great optioins, you really can’t go wrong!) Best of luck!
I voted for purple-but red or coral I like too! So hard to decide.
I voted! Yellow all the way!

I voted coral, which surprised me. Looking at that final picture of your guest room and picturing each color in there, coral was definitely the winner for me. Yellow was a close second (red seemed too predictable and purple seemed too dark). I hesitated with coral since it’s not a relaxing color for a bedroom…but then I realized that you don’t want your guests to settle in TOO much, right? ;D
I voted!!! Thank you!

I voted yellow! It’s what I have in my guest room! LOL! However, I have also used black and gray in the pillows in a floral pattern with a punch of coral….It looks wonderful.

I voted for the purple. Since it is a bedroom, I think the coolness of the purple would be more relaxing than the other choices. Although I do like the coral as well.

I voted for the purple. I think the coolness of it would be just right for this room.
I voted!!!
I voted! (Love the purple!)
I voted for purple, specifically the 3rd or 4th one from the left. i like yellow, but your guests may not like a screaming yellow. though maybe its a little more gender neutral than purple.
I voted for yellow. A small yellow bouquet of flower would be a beautiful pop of color on the nightstand.
I voted! Definitely PURPLE!!

I voted. I think that Purple would look Stunning with the colors which you have already!! It would look too Beautiful in your Lovely Home.
