navy is my new gray
gray was my new black but that was fleeting- less than 6 months later, navy became my new black and there it stayed.
maybe because gray has been too overdone. very likely because gray is neither here nor there and i need more powerful colors- black, white, pale pink... and i still love charcoal. that's the best shade of gray. it makes a beautiful, sophisticated impact. so much to say about charcoal... for more, see our charcoal bedroom here: My color of the moment is Gray
but, anyway, back to navy: navy is timeless, classic, elegant, nautical- so it still works here in south florida, preppy, masculine- in an elegant way for femmes too! -in a truman/roosevelt/hemingway kind of way...
we painted our bathroom navy with bright white crown moulding, and a dark wood 'medicine cabinet'- it wasn't really supposed to be a medicine cabinet, we repurposed it and it worked beautifully. just the other day, my husband said to me, 'that's still one of my favorite of our finds.'
i haven't photographed the WC yet because it still isn't finished- we have yet to find and add a strip of dentil moulding below the crown {harder to find than we expected!}- but, when we do, ill be sure to post pics right away!!
in the meantime, i only have a photo of another one of our cool, old finds that we've hung in there:
