colour: grey

If Emily Strange had her way, every day would be grey.

Some sources of inspiration for my grey desires...  So many loves for grey!


My grey obsession started some time ago, and has been rapidly developing lately. Many of these pics below inspired me to start considering grey, and now suddenly I've been seeing it everywhere. I love how colours pop against a nice deep grey. (I've left out grey tile inspirations as I've already posted on that! Though new lovely pics may call for a follow-up bathroom grey post).


I've fallen hard for Abigail Ahern's design style after reading about her in Home Beautiful. *swoon*! I really want her book - you can find out about it at this page. Here are some pics of her work and other finds she has blogged about:

[from her 'interior design' website section - hot pink + grey = amazing!]

[also from interior design section on AA's website - bookcase wallpaper omg!]

[blogged by AA - a much warmer grey, but love the orange with it, though not really the white]

[blogged by AA]

I could definitely go on and on about Abigail and link to lots more of her images but I suggest just visiting her website and blog and spending your own time in the dreamy pictures! Ok one more.. 

[from AA's blog: Abigail's own desk - the raven is so Poe I want one immediately!]

Apartment Therapy has also feature a lot of lovely grey rooms lately:

[AT grey (American 'gray') bathroom special]

[originally from AT - this grey laundry is awesome against the red washer dryer]

[from AT: grey and orange is a winning combination]

[orig from AT I think - nice grey boards]

[from AT? this dark grey barn looking house with extreme modern extension (or is it just a black wall?) is awesome either way, definitely my taste in mixing old and modern styles]

I can't really remember where I sourced these pics but more grey is good...

[grey meets wood is nice]

[fat grey stripes! love]

[I see velvet... mmm velvet AND grey]

[grey, black and white with pops of yellow (white no good around the door tho)]

[love the colours in the artwork and how they really are supported by the grey wall. the decadent (almost kitchy) frames are good against the grey too - a bit of old and new]

[grey and wall art - love]

[more grey and wall art, again the yellow/green looks good, though I don't care much for yellow myself]

.. and that was just a taste!
