Grey and White Fabrics

Hello everyone!  

Or maybe, I should say "Happy Hump Day".  

This week has been difficult because my youngest son has been sick with a fever and sore throat.  My husband is out of town, so I'm on my own this week.  He finally went back to school today though.  He is feeling better, but is still not completely well.  

On the bright side though, the weather here has been beautiful!  We haven't had to use our air conditioning in several days.  

Around the house, I've added some more grey and white to my decor.  

First, I ordered these wall baskets from Decor Steals.  They are made of chicken wire with a cute checked liner.



I knew I could find a place for them as soon as I saw them.  I decided to hang them in my kitchen above the grey table that holds baking staples.



Here's a close-up.





I also found this grey and white french striped ticking pillow cover from an Etsy shop in France.


It matches the beige ones I have in the dining room.  


And, in my bedroom, I decided to change up the bedding with just grey and white.


I liked how it looked in conjunction with the burlap already in the room.  I added some white ruffled European shams and a grey velvet pillow to the bed.


I haven't really done any Fall decor inside yet, but did manage to buy some pumpkins and pansies for my front porch.  I will share those in another post.

Hope you are having a good "hump" day and enjoying some pretty weather where you live.

Thanks for stopping by!

I love those wall baskets and the checked pattern fabric is very refreshing with all of the burlap we see! ;-D

I love your bedding, I've been struggling with mine since we painted the room gray. So, like you, I'm down to gray and white and not sure if I want to add a third color.

Can't wait to see your outdoor fall decor, I think the outside of your home is the prettiest in Blogland!

XO,
Jane

Love the grey and white bedding. I just did a mini makeover on my bedroom and went with white bedding too. I also like how you have a table that holds your baking staples. Great idea! The wall baskets with the checked liner look so pretty. Hope your son feels better soon. It's not fun when they get sick.

The baskets are adorable. Are you going to use them for anything? They are so cute I'd be afraid to mess them up. :)

Your bed is gorgeous!

Your new items are lovely. The linens look beautiful and so comfy. Hoping your son is well on the way to feeling better. We are looking forward to a long Canadian Thanksgiving weekend.

I love your new wall baskets and the striped pillow on your chair! I hope your son is feeling better. It doesn't take long for germs to be shared once school starts.

We had a beautiful 70 degree day today. I wish it could last a bit longer!

Unknown said...

Pretty , pretty changes. Beautiful baskets! But, what stole my breath was the bedding. Oh my.. luv the white bedding!!! Beautiful indeed.
Hugs, Gee

Daniela @Frugal Aint Cheap said...

it's not fun having a sick child. Hopefully he will be 100% better by the weekend. My girls keep asking me why people put pumpkins outside their door...

Sandy said...

Glad to hear your son is on the mend and back in school. Question, what shade of gray is on your open cabinets in the kitchen and on your table with the baking staples? I love the new pillow and really like the gray table next to your chair. I love looking at your calm and neutral home. You layer everything so well.

I have a grey and white bathroom and have wanted to put a grey and white ticking stripe valance across the shower..Haven't been able to find the fabric...The pillow fabric would be perfect..Where did you find it?? Looks great, Kelly..

chateau chic said...

Very pretty! I'm sure your new wire baskets will come in handy there in the kitchen. I like the way your touches of grey add depth to your beautiful rooms.

Gray & white are a success, a calming combination! What will you use the baskets for? Can't wait to see!!!!!

Susan in Katy, Texas said...

I just got those same baskets in the mail yesterday. Not sure where I'm going to put mine yet.

Christine at Little Brags said...

Hi Kelly, I do hope your little one feels better soon!!!! Love the new pillow from France and the wire baskets from Décor Steals.....MUAHHH

Andrea said...

Love those baskets, and your bedding! I can't have white bedding as my diva doggy loves to sleep on the bed. Although she's very clean, I know it would get mucky soon enough :)

Cynthia said...

Hi Kelly, I hope your son feels better real soon! I always enjoy seeing your beautiful home. Those baskets are great. We are having very cloudy days here and it is very damp and raw outside. Not fun.

One thing I always think is so homey is seeing the baking supplies. Must remind me of grandmas house. I need to get mine out of their Tupperware containers!

Lové your grey ness over here.
That tv unit way in the back ground reminds me of one I took and cut it down to slim the piece adding shelving to it for a better us in my kitchen and post before my latest posting.

Love all you inspire here, I could move right in.

See you soon.

I have some upper open concept cupboards too, but I hadn't thought of painting them the same color inside & out, looks great. I'm also crazy about wire baskets & burlap!
