have you read it yet???

50 shades...the tawdry trilogy of innocent Ana and tortured soul Christian Grey. Our generation's very own Story of O...love it or hate it this book is on fire. Topping the New York times best seller list, selling out at Barnes and Noble as well as E.L. James making the rounds on the news (20/20 this Friday), you have to have been under a rock to have never heard of this.

But really the best part is the title- how timely...do you think E.L James is at all away of how hot grey is in the world of interiors right now? And since there are so very very many shades of grey, there is one for every style and room!

So taking a que from the book, why not start in the bedroom:
mixing patterns and textures all within the grey family work beautifully in this Jonathan Adler bedroom 
This striped headboard adds various shades of grey as well as adding some height and interest 
Dwell Studio knows grey and this peacock duvet is on my wish list!
But Ana and Christian don't keep the "shades of grey" in the bedroom and neither should you:
Just like Christian, this grey room comes alive with a feminine touch of pink 
Grey can be soft and relaxed...


or edgy and modern. Bold colors pop off of grey walls





Grey cabinets are appearing everywhere these days





Need some wall guidance?
Benjamin Moore has loads of options!

ever flawless Farrow & Ball has a refined palette of perfect picks 

And if you are too timid to go grey on the walls... there are accessories galore!


and if you need a comfy chair to curl up in and read... 


Aiden Gray makes a wonderful addition to any home
