...Gray Is The Color But Grey Is The Colour

 

 

  Gone are the days that grey is associated with drear and dull in the design world.  It has quickly gained popularity as the new neutral.  I love the fact you can go cool or warm with your grey to achieve the look and mood you want for the room.

 

Use grey as an accent or to totally redesign the space.  Grey represents intellect, knowledge and wisdom.  Modern, farmhouse chic and every style in between takes on grey to turn your home into something fabulous!

 

Lucky for me, I am in LOVE with grey these days too.  My paint brush has been dipping into grey for the past few weeks.  My clients have good taste if I must say so myself!  

All of these pieces were done using The Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in either French Linen - described on Annie's website as, "a cool neutral khaki grey" or Paris Grey - described as, "a soft and slightly bluish grey mostly associated with French painted furniture" or Graphite - described as, "a soft black that becomes a beautiful black like slate". 

 

This piece is a vintage Lane writing desk.  Painted with Old White on top and French Linen on the bottom.  Giving it a true shabby, french country feel.

 

 

 

This was done in Paris Grey and heavily distressed to bring out all the imperfections this piece acquired over time.  It has a rustic farmhouse feel but the glass knobs add a touch of feminine for the girls room it was bought for. 

 

 

 

Large federal style sideboard done in French Linen.  The original hardware was painted and the piece distressed to perfection.

 

 

 

 

 

This was done in Graphite.  A very old, very adorable little side table given new life.

 

 

This was a federal style bedroom set that consisted of a dresser, vanity, mirror, bench and nightstand.  It was done in Paris Grey.  We salvaged the original hardware on the dresser but replaced the vanity with those glass knobs from Anthropologie that we all love.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hope you enjoyed!  Have a fabulous week!
