Today’s treasure from the sea is most of a huge nautilus shell, with striations and gradations of white and grey. Together, they have always been my favorite color combination, so I have just pulled a few photos from my inspiration files to illustrate their beauty.
I am going to let the photos do all the talking…
Dark
The combo of rustic and industrial…
I love a fully stocked dish pantry – marble bust required…
The light and the perfect proportions make this dining room dreamy…
Same room, different view…
Soft
Sally Wheat’s famous kitchen – perhaps the most blogged about kitchen ever!
I am not usually a fan of exact symmetry, but this just works…
French linen and painted wood make this one of my favorite spaces…
A close-up of the ironstone jugs on the fireplace mantle…
Pale
The Scandinavians have pale grey down like no one else – both traditional…
and modern…
One word for this room – heavenly!
Glamorous
Windsor Smith outdoes even herself here with this combination of Bennison fabric everywhere and silver gilt Japanese screen…
In her own house, she creates the most divine skirted console…
Beat out in drama only by this one…
Just a sliver of cool on a hot summer night…

Thought of you when writing this post!
I love gray. It reflects/reacts with the light and other colors around it. (However, I feel differently about the gray on my head.)
Ditto to both!

Gray is generally so under-rated. I love it, and with silver it shimmers and glows. I keep coming back to this post….
It has always been my favorite, long before its current trendiness now!
