    I've just sold my grey & white house and I loved the decor.

    Having moved into a 50's house with so much pine wood everywhere, beige carpets and horrific feature walls I really miss my clean grey & white....

    I blame 50 shades of grey where Mr Grey wants everything grey because thats his name. I didn't read the book but I tried the film. I lasted 10 minutes, it was as unimaginative as Mr Grey wanting everything grey.


    I've got a few grey tiles in my bathroom but they were free.

    Not me. Beige is bad enough but at least it's warm.

    We are planning to paint the kitchen soon. It's a lovely, apricot shade at the moment. We like it; it needs either a warm, vibrant colour or a really pale one as it faces North and gets little natural light. So far, OH has settled on a peach shade which literally makes the apricot pale by comparison... I'm thinking a lighter version, maybe.

    I can't understand the grey carpet thing. It looks awful.

    My house is quite grey... I love it. It's been my favourite colour for about 10 years now and it's only been since I've bought a house and that I've been able to decorate it myself it's come through! I love that house linked!

    I hate grey but then I'm old enough to remember black and white TV.

    In a few years grey will look really dated and something new will have taken over.

    I'm gradually painting my house white , goes with anything.
