greige: interior design ideas and inspiration for the transitional home

Las Vegas World Market

noreply@blogger.com (christina @ greige) — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 13:03:00 +0000

So last week I had to sneak away to Las Vegas for a day to go to the furniture show. I had some ordering to do and a few projects to hunt for. There were some great new pieces so it was worth while.

Love these new hanging lights... must find a spot to use them. They are made here in California by hand!

Perfect art for one of my projects!! It is so nice to find something that works so well!

Another super cool grouping of lights!

Sorry for the blurry photo (I was low on batteries) but this table is great because it is taller than your average barrel style table. Perfect for a side table.

NEED these!

The Iris wall lights- totally cool!

A great view of the large Bling Chandelier.

It was nice to see Bliss Studio in person.

I love the chests with the mirror inserts.

I ordered some of these pillows for jobs and a few for my son's bedroom.

They are perfect in Orange and Grey!

Love this chair.

Apparently lighting in multiples was the thing to do (or maybe it is just one of my favorites). I love love this.

These are so cool as a low profile dining chair for a different look.

It was a quick trip but I found what I needed and had a little time to shop in the hotel which was nice. Have a wonderful weekend!

New Traditional

noreply@blogger.com (christina @ greige) — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 13:03:00 +0000

I was browsing through my latest copy of Atlanta Homes and Lifestyles and saw these images.. I love the slight twist on traditional style that is in this space. I love the settee in the entry it makes me weak in the knees! Just that little splash of color is so perfect. There is a fresh mix of old and new that looks like a real home and a real person living in it.

Sherwin Williams Chipit!

Sherwin Williams sent over this great new tool for me to try out and I am loving it! Chipit! is an online tool that you can use to match up Sherwin Williams paint colors to any photo on the web. I have been playing around with it on some of my favorite images and it is super fun! You can check out my boards here and here!

You can take any image...

and find paint colors based on the palette in the image- I love it!

You can also post it to your facebook, twitter, pinterest, or print it out.

Ochre Lighting..

noreply@blogger.com (christina @ greige) — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 13:03:00 +0000

I am 100% in love with the new pieces from Ochre. I have this thing about unique lighting, I love it, it is the thing that I think can really make a room. Lighting is like the amazing pair of shoes you put with jeans and a sweater to make your outfit a little extra ordinary.

Simple Rustic charm

noreply@blogger.com (christina @ greige) — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 13:03:00 +0000

I love the eclectic style of these spaces, it looks like a home of pieces truly loved. The case full of clothing is the best.

Grey in the closet..

noreply@blogger.com (christina @ greige) — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 15:45:00 +0000

The cabinetry in here along with the windows makes this seem not at all like a closet- more of a dressing area.

I love the stool and the little bit of color with the pink!

Today is your last day to enter to win our Macaron giveaway!

Grey Modern

noreply@blogger.com (christina @ greige) — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 13:03:00 +0000

When I saw these I was smitten, the clean lines and cool colors are so soothing! I love the sliding interior doors in that hallway too. Wishing you a wonderful Sunday. I am off to the flea market to see what's been going on without me for the last month or so. Next week is another busy week so I have to rest up.

Vintage in the kitchen..

noreply@blogger.com (christina @ greige) — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 13:03:00 +0000

Love this vintage style cabinet in the kitchen. I wish we were organized enough to have glass on a huge storage piece like this.

Grey Storage...

noreply@blogger.com (christina @ greige) — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 13:03:00 +0000

I love the slightly disorganized feeling here... everything is so simple and clean that it seems to work. It reminds me of my everyday.. slightly askew and perfectly out of balance!

Have a wonderful Friday!

A different view

noreply@blogger.com (christina @ greige) — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 13:03:00 +0000

I have been seeing a lot of photographs from this view lately and I think it really makes you see some wonderful details in these spaces that might get lost otherwise.. Love the stairs and the floors!

Lost in Arles...

noreply@blogger.com (christina @ greige) — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 13:03:00 +0000

A few weeks back I was feeling a little out of sorts.. a little lost at the beginning of the year, it always seems like a time when you should be overly motivated, ready to run out of the gates and get some things really taken care of, make changes and plan for the year ahead. Well, I was in a total funk and kinda bummed out. On a Sunday morning I had a chance to take a little time to myself and was wandering around in the land of the blogs, I came across Lost in Arles a blog written by Heather, I spent well over an hour reading her posts and looking through her beautiful photos. I finally felt like myself, I felt inspired and awake for the first time in what seemed like a month (the holidays really took a lot out of me this year). I am ready to go, ready to be inspired, ready to travel and ready to take on the challenges of the year ahead. Maybe I will visit France in the Fall this year, I know I will be working on stream lining my time and energy into projects that I really want and need to do, and maybe just maybe I will be taking a few more leaps of faith this year.

I wanted to thank Heather and thank all of the bloggers that take their time posting so many fantastic images and inspiration!

LA Mart discoveries...

noreply@blogger.com (christina @ greige) — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 13:03:00 +0000

We headed up to LA for a quick day at the Mart last weekend and found a lot of fun goodies! I feel in love with the new lamps from Jamie Young. The glass pieces are amazing! I want the lamps in the first picture, I just love the color and texture..

Eloquence is always one of my favorites and they had a new larger showroom which was so nice to see everything together. (note: my Vespa is still available)

We headed upstairs to Bassman Blaine a great way to see some of my favorite lines in one place. That art is perfect for a job I am working on! This is just a little peek. I know it is not the same as going to New York or Atlanta (they are on my list for later this year) but it still does inspire!

Perfectly Imperfect..

noreply@blogger.com (christina @ greige) — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 13:03:00 +0000

This is so fantastic! I love that someone can appreciate the imperfection of this wall and see it as art.

I hope you are having a wonderful week! We are running around like crazy here- up to our eyeballs in boxes and packing up all of those purchases from the sale.

I cannot thank you all enough for all of your support with everything in my business including the blog.!!!

Interior Photography.. and my {1000}th post

noreply@blogger.com (christina @ greige) — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 13:03:00 +0000

Lately I have been thinking about interiors (big surprise there) and interior photography. I was looking through Ashlee Raubach's blog and saw this picture.. which I love. Ashlee took our family pictures last fall and she was amazing! I cannot wait to have her photograph some of my work and my home when I get ready. The light in this picture makes my heart race and that table makes me want to scream I love it so much. I love the way she uses the light in the space and the softness that comes across in the photos.

Anyway, I am curious have you had interior photographs taken? What do you think of different styles?

Paris flash back

noreply@blogger.com (christina @ greige) — Sat, 21 Jan 2012 13:03:00 +0000

I have been dreaming of going back to France for a few weeks now. I wish I was able to go for the Maison & Objet show, my dream really. Maybe for the Fall show... but I have been looking through my pictures and realized that there is a lot that I did not share with you. These are just a few pictures that I took inside the Louvre, I was a little giddy in there (my shoes were killing my feet and I think I may have lost it for a little while). I took photos of things that made me smile as you can see!

Wishing you a wonderful weekend filled with things that make you smile!

Don't miss our Tastemaker Tag Sale tomorrow on One Kings Lane!
