It can take center stage when painted on every wall and ceiling of a room or serve as a backdrop for colorful decor and bold accessories. Whether you want a calming, neutral space or a dramatic living room packed with personality, these gray designs from some our favorite designers and HGTV experts are sure to inspire.

The chameleon of color, it can be modern, retro, farmhouse and every style in between. Get inspired by one of these fab spaces.

Rising inventory has often meant homes are taking longer to sell.

That may be starting to shift in 2026.

New HousingWire data suggests the 2026 housing market is becoming more capable of processing available inventory, even as more homes come online nationally.

National inventory was up 2.3% year over year in the latest weekly data, while absorbed listings rose 17.5% over the same period. New pendings also increased 10.7% year over year.

Inventory is rising in the 2026 housing market, but homes are selling faster in markets where pricing aligns with affordability realities.

“When my kids become wild and unruly, I use a nice safe playpen. When they’re finished, I climb out.” ~ Erma Bombeck

Summer is here... take a look at this collection of tweets from parents during the summer...

* If you're wondering how awesome my summer break is going, my kid just found a harmonica.

* If you think Twitter has tons of people craving attention & validation allow me to introduce you to kids doing tricks in a swimming pool.

* I hate when I've been at home with my kids for 2 months for summer break and it's actually only been 2 weeks.

* My kids are trying to start a fire in the basement by rubbing Legos together, so if anyone wants to hang out, I'm free for the summer.

* July:
Boys-When do we go back to school?
Me-Not sure, end of August maybe?
Aug:
Boys-When do we go back?
Me-Exactly 21 days 3 hours & 6 mins.

* 5-year-old: We never do anything fun.

Me: I just took you out for ice cream.

5: We never do anything fun twice in a row.

* By 10 a.m. on the first day of summer break, my son said he was bored. The chore list I am about to make will wrap around the Earth 3 times.

* I'm sending my kids to a free summer camp program called GO OUTSIDE AND PLAY.

* After a long, hard winter, my kids like to take advantage of the beautiful summer weather by playing computer games in the basement all day.

* When I think I can't take it anymore I just remind myself that it's only 1,692 hours till school starts again.

* 7yo: I got duck p**p on my hand
Me: Ok, don't touch anything until we get home,
looks in back seat
7yo: already eating crackers

* Asking for prayers for a 5-year-old at our local playground. His mother is being really unfair and also packed the wrong brand of pretzels.

* It's summer & I can't get the neighbors' kids out of my house, so I told them a black widow is hiding & I haven't seen them since Saturday.

* We Polled 100 Moms To Find Their Top 5 Favorite Hiding Spots:
5. Psych Ward
4. Internet
3. Inside Own Head
2. Costa Rica
1. Bathroom

* Instructor: Welcome to our Summer with Kids Preparedness class. Our first lesson is how to apply sunscreen. Everyone grab an angry raccoon.

* Summer is when my kids are home making up for all the barely eaten school lunches I packed the last 10 months.

* If you're looking for ideas, a family bike ride is another fun way to sit and listen to your kids complain for an hour.

* Yesterday was the last day of school. The kids have already completed the 56 activities I had planned to keep them busy the entire summer.

* There is no way your kid can prove you weren't watching their underwater somersault in the shallow end.

* School's out but I didn't tell the kids. Right now they are waiting for the bus. Should buy me a few hours.

* My kids said they wanted to try something new this summer so I showed them how to vacuum & do laundry.

* 7-year-old: Why don't we have a pool?

Me: We need that space for grass. We have a pig.

7: I'll teach her to swim.

The number of homes for sale continued to rise last week, remaining above levels of a year ago as sellers gradually reengage with the market. Homes are still selling at a pace close to last year, helping keep supply and demand relatively balanced this spring.

Builder confidence improved modestly in May, though elevated mortgage rates and affordability pressures continue weighing on broader housing demand. Economic uncertainty and borrowing costs remain key challenges for the new-home market.

Stock markets continued climbing despite rising bond yields, supported by strong corporate earnings and resilient economic growth. Investors remain focused on inflation trends, Fed policy expectations, and the impact of higher energy prices on rates.
