Hi friends….hope your week is going well. Mine is a busy busy one, and these next ten days I need to be on my “A game”…..cannot afford to be sick or rundown, have way too  many balls in the air and doing my best to keep them all in check. Heading out of town for my nieces graduation this weekend then will return with a day in between before I head down south….

Besides working on two large design jobs and going full steam ahead on the new website (which is going to be AMAZING and very much worth all the work) , I am  getting ready to head down south to Nashville next week for the preview party  on May 11th, at the O’More showhouse where yours truly has been chosen as the honorary chair:)  If you live in the area (or even if you don’t but want to take a little trip because you really like me) please come and join the fun…its going to be a wonderful night!

Moving along….I have fun with these posts, Color Crush because it gives me a chance to share and be inspired by color combinations that I like or that happen to be on my radar.

A few pictures recently sparked the idea of the gray and white….I like it more than I even realized. I think the key with gray is balancing it with a warm tone, a warm white, beige, a pale blush as an all gray room can appear cold and barren.

When paired correctly, it can be showstopping! I searched high and low through all my sources to bring you the prettiest pictures I could unearth in gray and white. So let’s talk a look at this current color crush at it’s very best. Then your turn to weigh in……

I so wish I lived in that area because I would come meet you and give you a great big hug! Your blog is where I go when I need a ‘happy place’ and it brings be great joy with every post. You will be a wonderful honorary chair and contribute beauty and class with the powder room you design. And if I haven’t stroked your ego enough….I clicked on the O’more showhouse link and got to see your photo and you are stunning! Love you Tina.
Fondly,
-Lisa

Great color crush post!!! We are preparing to have our shutters and front door painted. You just helped me decide! Tina Design Idea! How lucky am I?

Hi Tina,
I’m so excited that you are going to be at the O’more Showhouse!! I am going to be there and will try to get to meet you. I read your blog faithfully and I really love it!
Enjoy the Southern Hospitality!
Sincerely,
Gretchen Johnson

Love this post! We just had our kitchen painted Revere Pewter and we love it. Made my kitchen seem so much brighter. We painted the living room Argos, Sherwin Williams, a gorgeous color, looks great with gold accents. I failed again with the master bath paint, a Behr color “Sculptor Clay”. It’s a really pretty color but looks green next to the travertine. Can’t seem to get the color right in there, even though I did test paint right on the wall. I have painted it three times in 5 years and still not happy with it. You would think travertine would be easy to work with but there are so many colors in it and while variation looks great in the tile, I haven’t had any luck choosing one of those colors for paint. It’s either leaning pink, green, blue, cold. Grays can be difficult to figure out and lighting affects them so much. IMO, gray looks best with lots of natural light and one reason it looks so great on exteriors and when paired with white. I’m using yellows and golds for accents, harder than I thought it would be to get right…!

Congratulations on being Honorary Chair!! Wish I lived close enough to attend! Love every one of these grey and white pictures. I admit I’m a grey and white freak with pops of blue right now. I have lots of revere pewter and edgecomb grey balanced with Ballet White in my house. Much different from the 14 colors I had in my last house. Can’t wait to see your PB designs. Carolyn

Tina loved this post! Pictures were all so beautiful! Can you please tell me the name of the wallpaper in the last picture of the bedroom? Merci!

Hi Tina, the kitchen photo (4th down) with grey cabs and rough hewn shelves belong to my friend Diana from Our Vintage Home Love blog. She had a beautiful blog!

Love all the grey and white in today’s post. Our home is based in grey and white with lots of blue and it all works to create such a calm and relaxing environment. Thank you as always for your wonderful design inspirations!

I love grey and white, that skirt is so sweet and lovely!! Thank you for sharing this palette, it will be very useful for future painting projects. Good luck with all of your projects!!

Congratulations on the Honorary Chair. I am excited for you. We love going to Franklin anytime we visit Nashville. I would love to visit the show house and see your work in person. Best of luck!

Such great inspiration with these photos. I just changed the color in my kitchen to??yes, from your list of BM paints. I used number three, Revere Pewter for the walls, black island and hutch and white cabinets. My love affair is ongoing and I am thinking about taking it throughout. Honestly, it is a great neutral used with while trim. I would love to get to Nashville to say hello, congratulations on being named Honorary Chair!

Hello dear Tina

Many congratulations on your Chairmanship honour, you will be wonderful and I loved the powder room mood board,

I have loved chinoiserie walls all my life, and have used deGournay on my projects here in England. But I have longed to try and paint some myself ( when feeling exceptionally brave ) in my own house.
The beautiful bedroom in your post today has given me an extra confidence, the soft greys are so restful and understated. Gorgeous

Have a wonderful week, you will do everything… you know you will 🙂
Much love
Sally xx

Tina… when I say GRAY and white I thought it was a typo!! I am so used to your love for blue and white. All the photos are beautiful. Hope you have fun in Nashville.

Beautiful grays and whites! My favorites are the cottage and the nursery, although the little powder room is lovely, too.

Finally !!!! After all these months we get to see the beautiful person behind all the designs we love so much. Now I see where your son’s got their good looks.

Tina – you are gorgeous!! How fun to be able to put a face to your blog. We were just visiting our son who goes to college in Nashville a couple of weeks ago. LOVE Franklin! Great restaurants and shops. How exciting for you to be honorary chair!
