new babies and some planning

no, i'm not preggie.  i picked up two pillows for the couch.  i have been in the hunt for pillows for a long time.  there are tons that i like, but refuse to pay over $10-12 for one pillow, which severely limits my options.  my plan was to buy fabric and just make some, and i still plan on doing that, but i found these pillows at Marshall's yesterday for $10 each and couldn't leave without them.  they go so well with the couch, existing pillows and blue chairs:




i still plan on making some soon, too.  now, yesterday i also stopped at benjamin moore to pick up two paint samples for the living room, revere pewter and edgecomb gray, and slapped some swatches up on the wall.  the top swatch is revere pewter which is a little darker, it's a beigey gray color, a really great neutral.  the bottom color is edgecomb gray, it is similar to the existing color on our wall, but less yellow.  it has more muddy undertones and is more of a light beigey gray, or "greige".  


right now I think i prefer the revere pewter, because it is a little bit darker it will give the walls more pop against the curtains and furniture without making the room too dark since this space doesn't have tons of light.  so hopefully we can get this space painted soon.  we have a lot of projects in the hopper, including planter boxes and planting a bunch of bushes in the back yard.  so what do you think regarding the paint?  the top one, revere pewter or the bottom one, edgecomb gray?
