Welcome May and the Spring Season with HGTV Color of the Month!

HGTV has announced on May 1st, 2013 their chosen color of the month...

 

It's Whisper Gray!

This soft, silvery gray is the perfect hue to ease into warmer weather.

 

 

 

When used alone this shade can appear luxe yet quietly cool as shown in the bathroom design but when paired with raspberry and green as shown in the bedding the results can be very lively and fun!

Here we paired our Stretch Jacquard Damask Gray Slipcovers with Clay colored Loft Pillows and Gray and Orange Embroidered Dot Pillows for a suprise design element!
