grey goodness.....

Another color that I am absolutely

crazy about is grey.

Check out these beautiful rooms

designed in grey....

I love this color.

looks like a grey with blue undertones.

I love the cow hide rug on the dark wood floor too.

this is a safe and soft grey.

Every color would look good

as an accent to this shade.

this porch is beyond yummy.

I love how they even painted

the woodwork grey.

love grey in the kitchen.

How great would this wall color

look with marble counter tops.

this kitchen would be great inspiration

for an out-dated kitchen.

Just take the door off the cabinets,

paint the bases grey,

and accessorize like crazy.

this looks like vacation to me.

and I am obsessed with stripes

used in different ways.

this dining room looks so rich, classic and elegant,

but modern because of the color pallet.

You can not top a Chesterfield sofa,

but one in grey velvet?

I am dying! 

Would love, love, love this!

Hope you enjoyed all the

 grey goodness

on this Friday!

Navy is no longer a maybe....

 

Ok, so I've decided

and navy is no longer a maybe.

I am definitely doing it!

Hopefully this weekend.

So, in honor of my decision,

I decided to share a few more of

the pictures that won me over...

I love how every style

 looks good with it.

and every color looks good with it....

Now, I just need this print

 to go over my couch

and I will be all set.

Even navy pillows look great!

and here is a more subtle way to

infuse the color.....

but not for me.....

I am jumping in all the way.

Now to the paint store

 to decide on my perfect shade.

Any suggestions?

Hopefully in the next week or so

I will have my own pictures to share!

to navy or not to navy.....

Hubby and I have plans to paint the family room,

living room and dining room.

So, I have been searching around the Internet,

Pinterest and blogs for inspiration.

{click here to see more of my inspiration}

Here are some photos that are swaying

me towards a navy wall....

 Maybe even do one accent wall...

I think my white couch

and leather chairs would pop

against the color.

How about a navy door?

I think it would look great on

my stone cottage,

but what color shutters?

Here is a reverse of my possible new

color scheme.

White walls and navy furniture....

It even looks good in a bathroom...

and on wood work....

So, what do you think

to navy, or not to navy?

pallet passion....

My passion for pallets is ever expanding,

and I can clearly see that I am not the only one.

Check out some of these clever ideas on how to use pallets....

How about a pallet back splash.

or a storage shelf in your pantry or kitchen

here is a cheap, simple cabinet

turned ultra chic

when covered with wood from a pallet.

runners covered with pallet wood.

How cheap and easy?

Even pallets turned into

a piece of furniture!

Just look at all that storage.

And this floor,

Don't even get me started on

how amazing this floor is!

I would love to have this bench

any where in home!

I desperately need a kitchen big enough

to house this pallet table as an island.

a pallet even looks good as a headboard.

And, which room could I line with pallet wood?

Hhhhuuummmm?

Is there anything that pallets can not do?

There are even more wonderful ideas out there

on how to use these super cheap and usually free pallets.

The question now is, where do I begin.

a table moved....

Sorry I haven't blogged in a while....

My computer got stepped on, dropped, tossed, _________

{add your own guess}

by the "ididntdoitmusthavebeenher trolls"

The screen now looks like a lava lamp.

I am hoping it can be repaired.

For now I am using hubby's laptop.

It feels strange not to have my old faithful.

Any who,

I wanted to show you a table that I moved a corner

in my dining room...

I love the mix of a shabby old table

elevated by throwing some crystal candelabras on it.

This is the caddy that I move in and outside

for outdoor dining.

It is filled with old ball jars

that hold utensils....

and then finally,

a pair of old shutters behind everything

to fill the corner....

This is what the table used to look like,

before it got a fresh coat of paint

and a new location....

You can click here to see what landed in the spot

that this got stolen from....

Have a great Monday!

new window treatments...

Ok, so I really am VERY settled on these window treatment.... 

I know I just did the burlap treatments,

{you can check them out here}

but I just wasn't completely satisfied with them.

They are staying in the rotation.

I just think I am going to save them for the fall

when I need some earth tones and burlap....

I waited until Hubby went out of town

before I sneaked hung them up.

A few days later,

He said, "are those new?"

Well by then, the honest answer was no....

I have a loose definition of new.

Happy Day, ya'll!
