The dining room's unusual palette of pale grey(ish) lavender walls paired with red rug is a lovely combo. Depending on the time of day, the wall color changes from grey to purple. While she originally pushed back on adding red in the beginning, now she "can't image a house without it". Chandelier: Canopy Designs; wall paint: A touch of gray from Benjamin Moore.
