50 Shades of Grey

Oh that title got your interest peeked, huh?  Well I'm not talking about the multi-millionaire from Seattle but of the many, beautiful shades of the color grey.  I've been very attracted lately to Mr. Grey  the neutral color of grey and I do believe we can say..Grey is the new white!  It can be seen in many types of decor from Modern to French Country to Farmhouse and Cottage. Now let's take a look at some inspiring images of this gorgeous, versatile color that is so popular now in the magazines and blogs.  Beware of image overload, possibly 50 Shades....

Oh My Oh me oh my!!! I LOVE this Chesterfield sofa, the tufting is to die for....the chippy white of the fireplace is a perfect backdrop for this gorgeous couch.

You know I'm a fan of the Tolix chair with it's industrial steal grey...indoors or out, next to a farmhouse table I think they look the best. {I have the Tub chair from World Market}  Great price and comfortable.
