Purple and Gray
While I'm loving the yellow with the gray, I'm also swayed by purple and gray. I'm thinking these colors would make for a very restful bedroom...(image via Nuevo Estilo)
Color Palette Generator
A handy little tool I plugged on the "Must Read" link a while back. Simply take your object of inspiration. Make sure you have it in photo form. Upload it via the program and wa la. An instant color palette, printable, handy for taking to the hardware store for that perfect shade of paint. A quick tip: For more precise results focus in on the colors desired, cropping out any unneeded background. Have fun!
Another Shade of Gray
Who knew my blog title would be prophetic? :) I was delighted to receive a photograph from Ashley showcasing her beautifully painted Benjamin Moore Smoke Ember walls. And if you're curious, the pink is Benjamin Moore's Fashion Rose. Thanks so much for sharing Ashley. I'm sure this will help in our individual searches for the "perfect" gray. :)

Inspiration
I absolutely love the impact of this Jorge Rojo painting. There's just something so soothing/warming about the pattern of wood. Definitely an inspirational piece. So many ideas... I personally think it would be cool to faux paint a tabletop in this design. (image via Nuevo Estilo)
Light Lust...
I am in lust with Oly's Serena Drum Chandelier. It's priced way out of my budget x's 10, but a girl can dream....
Shades of Gray
Kate was kind enough to share photos of her personal space with us so we could get an up close and personal view of Benjamin Moore's Silver Fox paint. Aside from the fact that Kate's apartment is gorgeous (just look at those architectural details), I'm loving this paint color. As you'll see from the pictures, the paint has different hues throughout the day depending on the light. I am so grateful to Kate for sharing these with us. Check out Kate's blog for some fabulous food preparation and be sure to stay tuned as she decorates her apartment.

Stick it to me...
Yes, I know...more wall stickers. But I really like these. They appear more spontaneous and artistic than some, almost muralistic. From flor4u. Enjoy!
Mini Sneak Peak
I was thrilled to receive a photo from beadingandtime showing her purchase from my etsy store now displayed in her home amongst her books from Greece and Rome. So neat!
