Gris et rose ~ le meilleur "mix"


My dresses, blouses, costume jewelry, and business cards all herald my love for pink and gray.

If you've been a reader of my blog for any length of time, you are probably sure of a couple of things:
{besides my love for God, my sweet family, and church}


I love pink. I love gray.
{j'aime le rose. j'aime le gris.}

I love Paris. I love French. I love fashion. I love anything romantic and feminine.
{j'aime Paris. j'aime le français. j'aime la mode. j'aime toutes les choses romantiques et féminines.}


Lizzie Carney's beautiful home had me at gray walls, pink silk curtains, and tufted pink headboard. Her lovely home was featured in Country Living Magazine's October 2010 issue, and I had to add these gorgeous images to my blog's dossier, and, of course, share them with you!


The gray walls offer a sophisticated backdrop to her trendy, funky British flag rug and open clothing racks.


The guilded mirror offers a bit of opulence among the rustic wine racks and burlap chairs. Oh, and notice the bust on the table-very Paris Apartment.



Lizzy has a very unique sense of style as she combines the unexpected: black leather couch, rustic coffee table, unfinished wood shutters, and a regal bust.

I especially like the painted dove gray floors.


The hip vintage turquoise frigo adorned with gracefully stuffed peacock, oversized romantic chandelier, and modern shelving and chairs bring a unique persona to the kitchen which matches the rest of her creatively beautiful home-definitely one of a kind!

I can remember precicely when I firt fell in love with this color combo...when I was in my early twenties, I fell in love with the most beautiful cashmere argyle sweater in pink and grey. I wasn't able to afford it, and I've never forgotten that sweater!

I had seen the photo of Lizzy's dressing area somewhere, but never the rest of the photos. The dining/wine room is calling my name!

Such a pretty post!

I'd love to have dinner among all those bottles of wine with a few great friends.
Romantic enough, inspiring.

Janet- Yes, it does remind me of those French post days! I should do some of those again!

The French Maid- It's funny how clothing can affect our view of decorating. They usually always go hand in hand!

I am glad you all liked this post!

Ok these photos have redeemed pink and gray together for me... I guess I was still traumatized by the whole pink and gray look circa 1981. These photos are amazing and as a peacock nut - I've got to get me one of those!
