I've been loving everything grey lately - which is funny as I think I fought the colour initially when it first showed up so prominently (I'm one of those that still remembers the greys of the '90's); but as it usually goes, some colours I welcome faster than others, and usually the one's I fight I end up liking the best. Funny thing that, although I'm still not a teal lover. But at the moment I just can't get enough. This weekend I was at Ikea and they had a bedroom set up with their grey painted EDLAND line and with a greyish-white TUNDRA floor and mauve wall - the room really had a great feel to it. A fresh change from all the dark hardwood floors. I think I mostly like the grey furniture and then walls second (not both together though). I'm seriously thinking of painting our entry way and hall grey, we are thinking of going for a lighter wood floor (whitish-grey) and I love the grey wall idea in contrast. What are your favourite colors lately?

ooh, i especially love that first picture. i am a huge fan of grey, it dominates my wardrobe and has been on at least one wall in every place of my own i've ever lived ;) i love the grey painted furniture, in fact we've just bought some light grey to paint a vintage dresser and vanity mirror for our daughter's room!
I am in love with the cross cut wood wall. those images are brilliant. thank you. ox
Grey is a perfect color and it works great with all the others from the spectrum! Lovely pictures!
The picture of the grey knit bedding (Marie Claire Maison-Mudrik) has been saved on my computer for well over a year in the hopes that either one day I will learn how to make an afghan like that, or one day I will find where to buy an afghan like that. Neither has happened, but I still hope.
I love grey! Our new bedroom has grey-blue walls and we're on the hunt for some reasonably priced grey curtains to do a fabric wall. We need to hide some unevenly placed windows.
Any suggestions on where to find some? We've been hunting forever! $80 per panel is just not cool when you need to order 7 of them.
I have been loving wearing grey clothing with bright yellow jewelry recently...I have suddenly developed a collection of grey dresses...I have been just drawn to it!
I love gray, my bedroom has medium gray walls and dark gray curtains. It's my little cave, perfect for sleeping in!
I never even thought about grey when I was younger, but now it is a winter staple for me, esp. with blue, but also with red.
easily my favourite colour. half of my wardrobe is grey. so easy to wear (as an alternative to black) and goes with everything yay!
It's like brown - they always got picked last in school:) but they can have such amazing results if you're creative. I love slate and slightly pink grays and especially love 'black diamon' colored vintage glass jewels.
I'm also really love using it with bright retro colors - like orange, sea foam and coral with matte metallic grays.
We just repainted our kitchen from red to a light grey ~ so refreshing! I love it with white and wood tones!

You must check out the Scandinavia blogs - they are so consistently into white, warm grey and shots of black. They all seem to do it. I love it, though I need to throw in shots of natural wood to keep it grounded.
I'm loving grey right now! We recently painted our master bedroom a beautiful grey and I love it so much I wish we'd done the living room in tones of grey as well!
the lilcourt image is amazing! never thought grey walls with such a colorful sense of decoration would work out, but its actually much easier on the eyes.
I love the gray for a long time. On walls, on furniture. Yesterday highlight any color.
With this post I discovered how good it is combined with natural wood, thanks.
i love love love grey too... i can't stop buying grey clothing pieces... we painted our dining room grey two years ago... love it. it seems like it would be a cold color but it can really be warm...! :)
