Cool Gray is hot, hot, HOT! Last year, I painted my living room Benjamin Moore's Abelone and love how the pale neutral gray makes the rest of my furnishings bolder and more colorful. I've since noticed a huge increase in retailers' offerings of gray furniture and furnishings. Here are my current favorites...
• The new Slideaway Desk + Docking Hutch from West Elm is perfect for small spaces and available in polished dove gray - $249 desk, $129 hutch
• 100% organic cotton with 100% organic inks and dyesStixx Bed Linens - $20 - $100
• Skye Wall Mounted Console from CB2 - $299
• Stripes Dinnerware from Jonathan Adler is a cool gray on white pattern $16 - $28 per piece
• Chase Bench from Pottery Barn was originally $199 and is now $90
• Grayson Chair from Williams-Sonoma Home pictured in a gray - $1,500 - $2,450 depending on upholstery
• Parsons Cube Side Table - $169
• Chin Chin Dove Gray & Silver Lacquer Trays from Mitchell Gold & Bob Williams.
• The EDLAND Cabinetry Collection from IKEA comes in dark gray. This linen cabinet is just one of 6 shapes in the collection.
• Hierarchy of Modular Storage by 5.5 Design

Love grays! In early 2008 I was getting ready to do paint colors with a client and I suggest that my client do a couple of rooms in shades of grey. She was reluctant at first, but did it and loved it! At the time, we had a hard time finding fabrics and accessories. Now, there is so much out there - its great!
I myself was inspired by a painting and I purchased in Buenos Aires by an Argentine Artist and painted the entire LR/Kitchen/DR/Hallway in Benjamin Moore Bunny Gray #2124-50.
