Gray is just about my favorite color, but I worry. Does that mean I am boring? Gray doesn’t really have an exciting reputation. No one paints their piñata gray. No such thing as gray popsicles. Well who cares! I think gray is sophisticated and serene.
Check out these gray makeovers and tell me you don’t agree!
Incidentally, ‘sophisticated and serene’ are the words most often used to describe me. Ok, that part is not true. First a table to a footstool makeover from Meg at Meg and Mum’s. Yes, I have that same fabric too.
And a sublime dresser in an understated hue from Rachelle at The Adventures of Burke and Rachelle. See? Gray is the coolest. Except I have one question … gray or grey? I never know for sure.
Thanks ladies!

May 3, 2011 at 4:41 PMBoth I believe are correct–depending on which part of the country-or Country-you live in.I grew up spelling it Gray–and now for some reason I use Grey–maybe Grey’s Anatomy is in my head…

May 3, 2011 at 6:30 PMCall me weird but I use gray if it is a blue based gray and grey if it is a green based grey…not sure why I do, it just seems right.

May 3, 2011 at 10:17 PMI love that footstool so much I want to MARRY it! Holy crap!
That being said, I’d like to add my “very important” 2 cents worth.
I prefer grey, and I most certainly prefer THEATRE! Just sayin.

May 4, 2011 at 10:23 AMWow. That’s such a perfect job!
Hey, there’s no big mystery about the word….”grey” is the UK/Canadian spelling and “gray” is the American. Just like “colour” and “color”. Canadian/American.
