Interiors: Grey Washed Wood

Grey wood lends itself to a worn, shabby chic feel, but I like it mixed with vintage and modern pieces giving the spaces below an eclectic feel.  The wood itself is obviously very versatile and looks great mixed with color as seen in the first couple of spaces or as part of an overall neutral palette as seen in the last few images.
















































































Although there's something incredibly soothing about the grey and white tones of the the last two spaces, I find myself leaning towards the mix of grey wood + soft color.  Which do you prefer?

  5. I'm trying to find myself a lovely writing desk - and wish I could find something like in the second picture. Grey-washed-wood: it even sounds lovely. Sigh.

  7. I am a big fan of gray in general and I love gray wood. I prefer softer colors in my home - they're soothing and relaxing.

  9. There's something just so relaxed and weathered about light grey wood.
    We have this fantastic trestle base table at work with an aged grey barn board top and an industrial metal base, just beautiful!

  14. i like the first and the last the best. grey can be too subtle for my tastes, so i like it best when there is some kind of color around it. but that is just me.
