Oh, To Be Grey...

So I've been seeing a lot of grey around recently, and I feel it only my duty to participate! Some might think it strange, but I've liked grey for quite a long time! I do love how it can flip flop from being cool to warm, and masculine to feminine, either by it's tones or just by the right accessories... 

Most of all, I love grey with earthy warm tones, natural woods and stone, and with metallics, creams and bright whites, it's just beautiful! The mix of textures in the accompanying pictures is what I love the most!

So here are a few of my favorite grey interiors and still life photographs. Clockwise from the top left, Living Etc, (sorry, I don't know this one!), Skona Hem, Shootfactory, House to Home, and Glen Proebstel.

Cool Grey...

It's getting colder in NY, the skies are still blue, and the sun still shines, but there's a chill in the air now....

I found these images of a house in London, relaxing and like a sanctuary, these cool grey shades with white and soft creams are beautiful. I love the architectural details in this house, the crown moldings, tiled entryway, old staircase, the painted wood floors and the large windows which let in huge amounts of light. And the antique mirrors, french bed, roll top bath, the worn woods and the fabrics are just my cup of tea...I just adore them!

Personally, I'm not sure I could live in a completely grey home, but I like that this house shows off just how beautiful grey can be, and even how it can be feminine....
