Inspiring Interiors: The Power of Gray

I hope that everyone had a great Easter weekend, if you celebrate the holiday! Mine started off on an eventful note with an unexpected trip to the ER because my contact ripped and got stuck in my eye (not fun) and left with the contact removed but a scratched eye.  Oh well, made for an eventful day!  Anyways when I was flipping through a recent issue of Harper's Bazaar, I had my love of gray reconfirmed once again after seeing the DUMBO apartment of blogger and interior designer Athena Calderone. I love how this shade is incorporated on her walls, in her hanging lamps and in her tufted sofa.  Finally, I am lusting over her copper coffee table that has wonderfully embellished legs.  Do you like this shade as much as me?  Continue for more...

    What a beautiful room. Gray is such a great color for a room. It's chic and since it's a neutral, you can easily add pops of color when you want to.

    I love the soft gray/blues on the walls. And that table, I mean–oh my god. So gorgeous!

    I was just going on and on about how much I like white but these gray colors are so gorgeous too! I think I just need a professional to come in and decorate my house.

    I usually steer clear of darker colors, but this grey is really gorgeous and relaxing - I'm suprised! Great photo finds!

    Whoa!! That's gorgeous. I know gray can be kind of cold but this place is amazing. We have light grey walls in our bedroom and I am in love with them. Now if only I could steal that art above her couch.... xoxo
