I know it would appear that all I have been writing about is gray lately, which is somewhat true. Yesterday I painted my desk gray, hoping to get it to look like the one in the picture above and well, it looks nice but I picked out a gray that is a lot lighter.  Apparently, even after looking at paint colors, what seems to be like all summer long, I still do not have a knack for picking out colors that match the photos I find.  Oh well, I suppose I have learned a few things a long the way.  

I love all of these gray items from Shabby Chic.  They have some lovely new stuff over at their site.

Although I have gray on the brain I hope you all have a bright and cheery Monday.  And as for me,  I will try to wean myself off the gray.
