new grays from the September issues...

Being a mirror gal, I love the antiqued mirror fireplace surround with the starburst layered on top.

Besides mirrors and gray, nude art pieces have my heart, so I love this image. The vintage tea pot is just the touch alongside the modern lamps. A stunning 'silver' gray effect.

Awesome art piece in charcoal tones.

...corrugated metal.  Perfect for that edgy loft/weekend lake house/artist's studio. And what about that mix in the last image? Corrugated metal, crystal chandelier and ruffled shower curtain....

For years I'd come across a particular tear sheet from a decor magazine and say to myself, "Why did I save this one?"

Finally, I realized I was drawn to the shoes in the picture, casually tossed beneath a bench. And they weren't just any shoes; it was a pair of tennis shoes just like my husband used to wear. So to me, the image said 'home.' Now, whenever I see a picture of a room that happens to have shoes in it, I am always drawn to it. Such a nice, homey touch...   

greetings....
