GRAY + WHITE + WOOD

I have the pleasure of writing guest posts for Dwell with Dignity, a really great Dallas area non-profit made up of Interior Designers and volunteers dedicated to creating inspiring homes for families struggling with homelessness and poverty. Check out this DIY, and visit there site to learn more about how you can get involved.

When it comes to gray, I think it is fair to say I’m having a love affair.  Who isn't? People even made up a new word - greige - to refer to their favorite warm, pale shade. There are many different neutral pairings that work reallywell together, but my favorite is a combination of gray + white + wood.  It can be warm and inviting, or bold and contrasting – there is a wide range of options with this simple palette.

[DIY] SIMPLE + EASY CHEVRON VASE

After reading this post, I began looking around my home and realized that despite how much I adore chevron, there was not a stitch of this terrific pattern to be found in our house!  Being in full DIY mode around here (we purchased our first home last year, a definite fixer-upper) - I began brainstorming quick ways to incorporate some graphic patterns into simple and easy decor projects (simple and easy are my new thing since I became a mommy last year as well!)  This spray-on chevron DIY can be applied to many other items (think canvas or scrap wood, bottles, rugs, smooth vases, doors and doormats to name a few).
