Going Gray

Going gray?  Given it much thought?  I have. It's the current neutral in the design kingdom. I'm not afraid of it... Actually I'm embracing it. As summer ends and fall begins to move in it's a great time to start thinking about holiday visitors and preparing a guest room. Before you know it friends and family will be trekking to your house and that lonely guest room probably needs some sprucing up.  Pull out all the stops this year with paint and fabric. Go gray and create an inviting space for welcomed guest.  Show them how deft you are at using the latest color trend. Email me if you want tips on the best grays for your space. 

Always tie paint and fabric together for a cohesive look.

Gray Matters

  In the interior decor world Grays are getting lots of play these days... especially walls. I think we're just catching on to their versatility and how to use them.  With their many undertones they can be used as neutrals. Warm up the gray palette with wood finishes and colorful textiles. Gray has always worked well as an accent color.  What draws me into a gray space is the serenity created by the color. Pair it with soft textiles and let the space become an open invitation to the dweller.

Rooms by designer Mary McDonald don't always come across simple.  But, this one does.  It's soft, elegant with straight clean lines from the drapes to the moulding.

This is one of my favorite grays... Sherwin Williams - Gray Area SW7052.
