Okey dokey!
It's time to pick a paint color!
And, just so ya know, we're totally cool with any one of these handsome hues.
Re-decorating with you is FUN- so we're open to whichever color wins!
And, remember, the winning color will only be on a couple small walls (the rest of the room will be clad in white-painted wood planks)- so not only will the bed & bedding not be touching whichever wall color wins, it will be on the opposite side of the room from it too!
Here are the contenders...
(Sea Salt- Sherwin Williams, Silver Sage- Restoration Hardware, and Blue Hubbard- Sherwin Williams)
And here's a pic of the color we originally chose for the walls, next to a sample of Silver Sage...
It's crazy how taupe-y it looks next to the blue-ish-ness of Wedgewood Gray!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And here are some pics of each color, zoomed in at a closer level...

Sea Salt:

Blue Hubbard:

If you'd like to join in on the fun, check out the poll in our sidebar to cast your vote!
We'll keep it open 'til Monday morning- and then we'll get crackin' on re-painting the walls next week!
Thanks friend!
We feel so blessed to be able to share our renovation and re-decorating adventures with you, and we appreciate your encouragement so much!

Here's a little high-def video footage too of our choices too!

-Julie
i suppose i'm a bit biased because i just painted my entire living room (up to the vaulted ceilings) in a color very similar to sea salt!
I LOVE the Silver Sage....gorgeous. Linda
I'm liking the depth of the Silver Sage!
Cindy
I really like the silver sage!
I like the blue hubbard!
Already cast my vote! Still loving me some Blue Hubbard! :)
Sil-Ver Sage Sil-Ver Sage Sil-Ver Sage!!!
Oh, that was me. Chanting.
Seasalt!
Sea Salt for me...(Kathy, Australia)
No question...SILVER SAGE!! I used it all throughout a clients home and it goes with EVERYTHING! You will love it!
xo, Meredith
Blue Hubbard! I might just have to see how that looks in my home. Pretty!
Oh man I am so sad. Blue Hubbard is the only one I can not stand of those three and its winning :( I say go with Silver Stage, looks so crisp but yet still soft against the white.
I think the silver sage goes best with both sets of bedding although if only picking for the floral...I'd go with blue hubbard. I really like that it has a bit of green in it. At least on my monitor it does. Believe me...I went around and around picking the perfect seafoam green color for the trim on the outside of my house. I think you are wrong...Life is too short NOT to have the perfect paint color. But I think any of these will turn out looking nice. But Silver Sage would give you strong contrast with the white planks too.
Silver Sage.
It's right in between the two so it blends with both the greens and the blues in the bedding. The other two lean too far towards one or the other (green or blue).
I am voting blue hubbard....
I just watched the video and I want to say Blue Hubbard again!
Loved Sea Salt when I saw it on your blog last week (considered using it) but with your bedding I LOVE Blue Hubbard!
I love both Sea Salt and Silver Sage. Not too keen on the Blue Hubbard. I would love to use Sea Salt in MY home.
I'm definitely torn between the silver sage and sea salt! I think that the blue hubbard could be too similar to the pb porcelain blue toile bedding (which I have and love, btw). Good luck figuring it out -- they're all lovely! :)
I am torn between the sea salt and the silver sage, but if I had to pick just one, I would pick sea salt.
blue hubbard. love it.
Without getting too sappy, you guys have saved me! I will spare you the details. I would be very ungreatful if I didn't take the time to say, "Thank you!" So let me return the favor. I want to save you from Blue Hubbard. I am surrounded by Silver Sage and I love it! Sea Salt is still better than Blue Hubbard. I think I used the exclamation point too much, sorry.
BLUE HUBBARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!lol
Silver Sage!
Sea Salt for me, looks a lot brighter than the others
Personally, I like sea salt...but, I know whatever you choose will be perfect!
What's a hubbard anyway? Silver Sage!
At first I thought Blue Hubbard because it matches the toile bedding perfectly, but I think Sea Salt matches both. So Sea Salt gets my vote.
Blue Hubbard.
Blue Hubbard...though really can you go wrong with any of them? :)lol
My vote is for Silver Sage!
Blue Hubbard
love love love the Silver Sage!
Silver Sage!
Love the Blue Hubbard!
Silver Sage from Restoration Hardware. My sister's guest room is painted with that and it is absolutely beautiful.
Blue Hubbard
Blue Hubbard ----- love em all really, but BH my fav.
they are all pretty, but i am drawn to the blue hubbard.
They are all great choices. I am feeling the love for BLUE HUBBARD. Lori
I love Silver Sage! I just painted one of my bathrooms and my front sitting room that color and it's amazing! HOWEVER, I am really diggin the Sea Salt for your space because I think it'll be brighter! Either way, both great choices.
hmmm, it was reeeeealllly hard but my final answer is...drum roll please.....SILVER SAGE! woo hoo!
judi ;)
ps...you may have helped me with a paint color for the bathroom!
My mom just painted her newly remodeled downstairs of her house Silver Sage. Silver Sage is the way to go!
i think i like sea salt.. those drawers look fabulous, by the way!!

I love this color, it is Martha Stewart: Rainwater
Sea Salt or Blue Hubbard? Mmmmmm, Blue Hubbard.
SILVER SAGE!!
I helped a friend paint Silver Sage in her bedroom and it is absolutely stunning. The funny thing is, I'm going to paint my bathroom this color in about 10 minutes... or as soon as I can get my lazy butt off of the computer! It has so much depth and is such a rich color that really goes with everything. You can't beat it!
I don't think that worked.
Here is the Rain water link

painted my family room silver sage last year after many 'try it' sploches on various walls. I love it and think it looks great with your fabrics. Off to vote!
Silver Sage!
Silver Sage!
Silver sage!!! LOVES IT!
Sea Salt! But then again, I come here for guidance, not the other way around. Still, sea salt.
Sea Salt!!!! my son works for miller paint company in Oregon - and they have a color called sea glass and it's really close to sea salt. It's a very pretty, clear color..in my opinion.
My vote is for Silver Sage!
Blue Hubbard hands down! The others are way too blue for the toile-ish comforter. Please!!! You can't choose anything else. The other two colors are way too blue and not enough blue-green for the fabrics you're working with.
PS.. I am known to be fab at choosing colors, but don't let this sway you ;-)
Blue Hubbard!!
haha... your pup licks you just like my Chihuahua licks me. Awh, so much doggie affection, so sweet.
I love Silver Sage but as others have pointed out when you add the toile blanket in the mix it becomes too blue for the room. Blue Hubbard is what I would pick. It works nicely with both sets of blankets.
Lovin the silver sage!!
Lovin the silver sage!!
Silver Sage - Silver Sage - Silver Sage
While I know most are going for Silver Sage, Blue Hubbard pulls out the color in the toile PB bedding the best. I've seen this in person and it is not a really TRUE blue...more a green blue. The other pieces have many other very dominant color, but I feel the toile will get lost in all the white without a wall color to pick up the blue green color.
I like sea salt. I didn't like Blue Hubbard in the picture but I like it in the video. Go figure?
I still like Blue Hubbard the best! They are all pretty, but that is the one that my eye goes to first each time I look at them. I can't wait to see what color is the winner. Love & blessings from NC!
First of all, I was sad to see Wedgewood Grey was out. We used that in our master bedroom and bath and I was so pleased. I like the Blue Hubbard, but it doesn't pop to me, because it blends so nicely with the bedding. I've seen Silver Sage in many friends homes and ALWAYS love the way it looks. It's like the new neutral. I can't wait to see the final product!
Tough call! Looking at the top pics, I thought the sea salt was definitely out (too light, too warm) and blue hubbard was it, though silver sage was very close. Looking at the bottom pics, I like sea salt and don't like blue hubbard at all, but silver sage is the clear winner. I'm going with silver sage because it was a very close contender on top and the clear winner on bottom.
silver sage!
LOVE the Blue Hubbard!

Silver Sage is such an old standby for me, that works EVERY DANG TIME, I'm sure I'm partial. Plus, I'm sensitive to colors going icy..it's the way my eyes work, nothing against the colors. They're all lovely. Only good things will result regardless of which you choose!
You can't go wrong 'cause they are all gorgeous, but...I think I'm leaning toward the Blue Hubbard. Can't wait to see what wins!
Silver Sage!!!
#1 sea salt
#2 silver sage
#3 not blue hubbard, ever, anywhere
but seriously, you guys have fantastic taste.. you'll do fine with which evah you choose. plus its a pick up wall. the bed will be the focal point.
Blue Hubbard!
Sea Salt is so bright and fresh! LOVE IT!
What color white are you using on the wood planks?
Hi Layla-
I love the silver sage! I picked some up for a room and it wasn't the perfect hue for that paticular room. So.... I have painted some furniture with it and love love love it!!
XO
Kristin
I personally love all three!
Silver Sage - I find to be too blue next to your toile bedding though. But love the way it looks with your opposite bedding.
Sea salt - looks so pure and crisp. However I feel like it doesn't make your toile bedding pop at all.
That being said...I voting Blue Hubbard!
I just feel like it matches both beddings so well and really pulls out the great things that the bedding have going on within them!
I like Blue Hubbard the best! Sea Salt is my second choice:)
I love the Blue Hubbard and feel like it is the only one of the three that works well with both sets of bedding. Beautiful color!
BLUE HUBBARD!
blue hubbard
My opinion is 100% Blue Hubbard if you want a relaxed ethereal feeling in the room. I can't wait to see the finished product.

Blue Hubbard!
Sea salt! :)
I have never had luck with Silver sage- it looks fabulous on Restoration Hardware Store walls but looks like a greenish grey in my house. I like a little more blue on the wall.
blue hubbard all the way!!!!!
Hi Layla- Another fan of Silver Sage here.
I'm hoping for the perfect color for you....sadly, we did not choose the perfect color for the exterior of our house and I'm certain the neighbors are talking about us!!
Oh well- we'll get there....eventually!!
Hugs to you-
Carolyn
I love the silver sage - it is just so warm and inviting. All of them are pretty so you really can't go wrong with any of them. Good luck! Can't wait to see what you choose!
I say blue hubbard...that being said, and knowing my eye for color, I would go with whatever color I didn't pick. I am always wrong. ;)
I'm loving Blue Hubbard!!
My vote goes to Blue Hubbard!!
i like silver sage but i like how it looks when it is more blue not next to the wedgewood where it looks taupe, does that make sense? it is also from RH if it was more expensive i would pick a different one but i am cheap:)!
I voted Blue Hubbard and it looks like the majority did as well. I like all three colors but the Blue Hubbard is the best.
At the beginning I liked the Sea Salt, but now it looks SO different in the photos... so...
looking @ the colors in the video --
your SKIN tone looks gorgeous against
the "Blue Hubbard", plus, it looks SO serene!
So, my choice is "Blue Hubbard". :)
~Stormy
Totally love Silver Sage. My bedroom and bathroom are painted with Behr Celadon Green and it is a perfect match to RH Silver Sage.
I really like how the Blue Hubbard looks with your awesome bedding. :)
I'm torn because I love all three, but I think I'm going to go with Silver Sage. The Blue Hubbard is VERY close to the same color as the Pottery Barn bedding, which I'd think would get a little overpowering.
My vote- silver sage!
How fun! I like all 3 but Silver Sage is definitely my favourite! :)
I'm doing a handbag giveaway on my blog so be sure to stop by! http://lisaroyblog.blogspot.com
I absolutely L.O.V.E Blue Hubbard!! It is so calming and looks stunning with your bedding! So, that's where I'm sendin' my vote! :)
Gotta be Blue Hubbard!
OMG this brings back recent headaches of choosing colors for my own remmodel. Ahhhhh! I say just let the dog pick the color AND paint it.
It was a tough choice between silver sage (my bath) and blue hubbard, but blue hubbard has so much more life to it. I'd love it in a bedroom.
Silver Sage! I might need some silver sage in my life :)
Blue Hubbard!!
BLUE HUBBARD! FOR SURE!
Silver Sage, for shizzle!
Can't wait to see the final transformation. You guys are so great!
xoxo

Silver sage all the way!
Silver Sage.
Blue Hubbard looks best with both sets of bedding, IMO.
Blue Hubbard!!
Blue Hubbard!!
Silver Sage!!
It's Blue Hubbard! The toile has no impact in the other two, as many have pointed out.
I love the blue hubbard!
Looks like I'm in the minority, but my favorite is Sea Salt.
Blue Hubbard looks really good with the fabrics you are using. From the photos it also looks a lot like Farrow and Ball's Off White which I have used in my bedroom and my guest bedroom and it is the most calming, relaxing colour ever!
I can't wait to see you room when it's finished.
~Sam
Blue Hubbard, hands down!
Blue Hubbard for sure.
Love the greenish hue in Blue Hubbard.
For me it has to be silver sage.
Sea Salt, because (on the web, at least) it looks like one of those airy, atmospheric colors you can look through.
i think you should go with the silver color, it would look very good with your settings and make a very contemporary piece of furniture too, AboutCabinets Blog brgins you important and detailed information regarding buying cabinets
Silver Sage...
Have it in my kitchen and several other rooms...for about 3 years..
haven't tired of it yet. You will love it.
Kevin and Layla, from as good as we can see it from the video. Im kind of liking the Sea Salt. Good Luck, Im sure it will be beautiful! Julie in Holland :) .............
Definitely 'Silver Sage'. The bedding 'pops' more with this colour. And I always think that a master bedroom should be a relaxing, soothing place. Silver Sage certainly is a more restful colour than that others : )
It's a toss up between Blue Hubbard and Sea Salt. I thinking I'm leaning toward Sea Salt though....
Blue Hubbard!
Silver Sage - first thought Blue Hubbard but I think it would be boring after awhile
Sally
I'm in love with Silver Sage! In the pictures the sea salt looks a little to light and the blue hubbard seems too green
silver sage
blue hubbard
I'm loving the Sea Salt!
Blue Hubbard has my vote...
blue hubbard. Best with the one set of bedding/pillows.
blue hubbard!!!
I would have to say I love the Silver Sage as well!
I LOVE Silver Sage. So much, in fact, that it's the color of MY bedroom! It looks amazing in all lights, day or night. It's soothing and serene and I truly feel it's the best color I've ever used. BTW, I got a pintuck organic duvet cover from West Elm in the color Sea Spray and it matches PERFECTLY!
For me personally, I love the Silver Sage. However, for your home, I think Blue Hubbard would be the best match. Good luck!!!!
ok - i obviously dont have the interior eye coz i just cant choose - maybe i need to see them in person - so if perhaps u could fly me out - that'd be great !!! thanks !!!!! ( think it will look great whichever- lovethe dresser and the linen!)
Definitely Blue Hubbard. It is going to look beautiful with what ever you choose.
Blue Hubbard!
My vote is for sea salt! Although, you can't go wrong with the other two colors either.
i am voting on your paint color. i really like the blue Hubbard. it softens the room. it has the green in that goes with both your bedding choices.
My vote is either sea salt or blue hubbard and I'm leaning toward sea salt. Max is adorable. I think he was looking more for a treat when he "sat" than a paint brush. LOL
I LOVE the Silver Sage! I painted my entire home that color, It looks fabulous!
It was close between Silver Sage and Blue Hubbard, but ultimately, I think I cast my vote for...
BLUE HUBBARD!! :)
(But either one will be pretty.)
I love the Blue Hubbard. Not too bright, not to dark...just right!
Love love Blue hubbard, softer more soothing!!! Layla I gave you a shout out on my blog today. I used a picture of your wonderful kitchen as a great example on how to use baskets in decorating!!! You are one clever lady,Kathysue
Oh goodness all three are gorgeous....but if I were to pick one...it would Sea Salt. What a gorgeous color!
Blue Hubbard :)
Sea Salt...love it!
Love the Blue Hubbard!
I think my pick is the Blue Hubbard. In the photos and video it seems the most ethereal. But they are all lovely.
I like the sea salt :)
Blue hubbard
I'm a big fan of Sea Salt, I even have it in my own bedroom BUUUUT... I really love Blue Hubbard for your room. I think it complements both bedding sets the best. I love the color. I may try to incorporate it into my own house. :)
Anytime I'm given the option of silver sage, I have to choose it. I love that color, but, of course, I think you should choose what you love and are inclined to regardless of the untrained voice of the masses.
I'm diggin the Blue Hubbard.
Are you going to paint the drawers? Sorry but it' really bugging me...... other than that I love the way it turned out!
I love the contrast of Silver sage. Not liking the "matchy matchy" of the blue hubbard. I'm surprised to see it winning. Lovely bedding btw!
Hi! I recommend your fantastic blog today on my blog! Love your pictures and your vitality!
Sea Salt. I love the lightness it gives to the bedding which deeper hues anchor the room.
I really like the Blue Hubbard. I think it's a perfect medium tone. Oh, and can I just tell you how in love I am with that dresser?! Oh.my.goodness!!
Can't wait to see it all.
XO*Tricia
You will never ever ever regret Silver Sage. I've taken it with me into the last four homes I've lived in and will use it in the house I'm renovating. But, I've fallen for Pale Silver (RH) and love it even more!
bradfordavenue.com
Silver sage all the way!!! :)
Blue Hubbard. Hands down!
Silver Sage!
silver sage
Max is the CUTEST!!!!! give him a hug from Grandma Jude then give yourselves some too :-)
Liking the contrast with Silver Sage!
Sea Salt for sure. Light and refreshing. You will like it for a long time!
My choice is Blue Hubbard. I liked Sea Salt best from the still photos but decided I like Blue Hubbard better from the video and because it looks like it has less black in it than Sea Salt when I saw them together.
All colors are beautiful, but BLUE HUBBARD looks best with all of the bedding.
They are all nice BUT I choose Sea Salt..mostly cause I just like saying it...Sea Salt... ya that's my choice
My favorite is Blue Hubbard. I love how it picks up the greens. :)
I think the Blue Hubbard looks nice but it too matchy matchy with the bedding. I'm liking the Siver Sage-
Hmmm might have to go get me some Sea Salt for my bathroom project.
blue hubbard
Silver Sage is my all time favorite. It's in my family room. I sit on my couch and stare at it everyday because it is so beautiful! That being said, I just don't think it goes just right with your bedding. Blue Hubbard goes perfectly with both. Sea Salt is great too. Good luck!
Sea Salt!
I was leaning toward silver sage, but then the last photo of blue hubbard with your bedding convinced me--blue hubbard makes it all work.
Sea salt is definitely my favorite!
My vote -- SW's Blue Hubbard. I like Sea Salt, too --but it looks like a color that absorbs light so unless the room is REALLY bright, that's a deal breaker for me.
I got a kick out of this post asking readers to chose the paint -- I'm asking readers today to help choose a fabric for curtains!
Cass
Sea Salt :)
I've voted for Blue Hubbard but my daughter, a graphic design major in her junior year at school, has said that she prefers Silver Sage. She said I could vote however I wanted but I had to tell YOU that the EXPERT (daughter) said you should definitely go with Silver Sage. So, there you go! The expert has spoken!
Blue Hubbard!
I just painted out guest bedroom Wedgewood Gray and couldn't believe how blue it looks :( I was hoping for more the of the gray, too. I may have to "steal" one of these new colors!

HI LAYLA , SILVER SAGE GETS MY VOTE
BLUE HUBBARDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
Sticking with my original, Silver Sage. Love it!
Sea salt!! And a question: Do you find choosing the right "blue" super difficult?? I re-did two of my daughters' room, and I went through 4 different colors and the one that finally ended up on the walls STILL isn't really what I had in my mind's eye.
I love silver sage!
Layla & Kevin.
Can't wait to see the color on the walls,( I love blue hubbard, so beachy, and Tybee-esque')the bedding on the bed, the fluffy pillows & great accessories placed and you both stretched out with smiles enjoying the finished room.
I do know however that it may only last a short while till your paint brush and hammer draw you to your next reno adventure. hehe
Can't wait to see the slat wall created. My husband is very afraid(and he should be) that it will have to happen next in a room of ours.
Have a glorious weekend. geri.
p.s. I watched the winner of desin star this season, and even though I think she is cute, I feel you would ROCK HGTV into an "Audience Frenzy" by the amount of people that would tune in and watch for all your talents, charismatic personalities, and stage presence alone.
I still think it is in the chips( paint chips)
My choice for your room is Blue Hubbard. It blends blue with the green in the comforter and pulls everything together. Love it! In my own place, tho, I would go with Sea Salt.
Gail D.
Sea Salt!
Blue Hubbard! Love it and something a little different from the rest of your look!
I like Silver Sage!
