Wicker - Gray Wicker Chair that is...

Have you ever noticed something for the first time, then start seeing it everywhere? I had that experience with gray wicker dining room chairs! I have to say, I was not a fan of wicker until I started seeing wicker chairs in the gray finish (also called Kubu chairs). And now, I like it. I specifically like the organic feel of the chairs, the inherent texture of the chairs and the fact that they are neutral enough to go with a variety of dining tables. Have a look at some of these inspiration photos:

A view from my window - Blue Footed Booby Bird

Inspiration can come from just about anywhere, even a blue footed booby bird! My dad took this picture on a recent trip to the Galapogos Islands. I can't believe that amazing shade of blue of its feet - it is simply beautiful!

Veranda

This is J Lo's kitchen, featured in Veranda Magazine. I have been seeing a lot of blue kitchen cabinets lately, I like this particular color blue (Ralph Lauren Paint, Lisbon Blue), and mixed with gray, glossy white, and the black oven, makes the kitchen feel light and airy, ethereal almost, but also grounded. Looks like a kitchen I'd love to spend time cooking in!

Have a great weekend!

You know me, I love a white kitchen, and this La Cornue Range is amazing!

A view from my window - Yellow and Gray

Inspiration can come from just about anywhere, even a yellow warbler! This picture was taken by my dad on a recent trip to the Galapagos Islands!

The yellow and gray color scheme seems to be everywhere these days, perhaps because it is such a nice mix of an interesting neutral (gray) with a bright pop of color (yellow) and can work in just about any design style.

Here are a few yellow and gray rooms inspired by this amazing picture of the yellow warbler.
