  We did the whole thing. It isn't a very dark grey. We only have one south facing window in the room so it doesn't get a ton of natural light either. I'll attach pics from different angles so you can see. It's a cloudy day, too.
  
  
  Also, the paint we buy gives a "light reflective value". The higher the number, the more light is reflected. This grey (Argos by Sherwin-Williams) is LRV 50 so it is average.

  I left the light off so you can see how it looks with no inside light.

  Ha @katekat8721 I can't wait to see all the nursery reveals. Those are SS/AW posts I can get on board with.

  Butting in- this looks great. I'm boring and our nuseries are always a beige color with sponging to mix it up. I wish I had the courage to throw some colors on the wall.

  It really is lovely on the wall! In our old house we used Zircon by Sherwin-Williams (LRV=58). It is a cool version of Argos if you have more cool tones than warm tones.

  @mrsdbc, it is the Davinci Kalani. https://m.toysrus.com/skava/static/product.html?type=TRU_product_us&url=/product/index.jsp?productId=2574657&domain=http://www.toysrus.com
  
  This one we bought from Craigslist, but we have the same one in white for DD so we were confident in the choice. It's a great crib and we will use both as full size beds when the kids get bigger.

  I love the grey! We were deciding between a soft grey and a soft brown, and ended up going with the latter but I still love the look of grey walls in a nursery!

  @kimmyberly26 I am not bold either! The paint store had a promotion where their interior designer would come to your house if you bought a $75 gift card. She picked the colors in our whole house...I can't take credit!

  I did all grey for our current guest room. I figure when this one gets older and we have another one they can transition into that room and personalize it however they wish. I agree, it's not dark at all! I love looking at nurseries even though ours is already painted. Looks awesome @LilNunz1!

  I was thinking of gray for walls too. Love it. I'll have to show The Hubs to see if he'll go for it.

  we have not even started on a nursery for the twins yet. It is currently our guest room and we have furniture that has to be moved before we can even get anything going in there...

  @Lilnunz1 I love the gray. I done my bedroom in a light colored gray it gives a lot of flexibility on other colors that can be played with it!

  It looks great

  LOVE IT!! Our house is mostly warm hues, but in another life I will have soft, cool colors! I am doing the stripes though because that is awesome!

  I love the color of your furniture ours is the same. We had a nice dresser already the same color so we bought the crib to match. We actually picked out a bright green paint and tried it on the wall last night... It's much different than the grey I originally planned on
  
  I think we should start a post : share your nursery pics

  Love it! We did grey walls in our nursery for DS1 too and I find it so incredibly peaceful and calming. I think we used Benjamin Moore revere pewter. I love it so much I want to use it for this nursery too.
