Tres Chic!

French and European influences are always classic in interior design. The rich details and soft color palette are romantic and timeless, like this inspirational image...

The stone texture + fresh pink flowers in silver + vintage demi-lune = design goodness.

We have a new merchant at Post & Gray who has an equally inspiring mix of vintage furniture finds (refinished beautifully), hand-painted decorative dishware, antique mercury glass, and much more. Here's a quick glimpse of some of the fabulous new merchandise...

...and some details of the great finishes...

...and some close-ups of more fab finds...

...and a vignette, thanks to instagram (be sure to follow us!)...

Come visit us this week to view all the new and irresistible merchandise. We have been searching online for inspirational ways to incorporate some of these fabulous pieces into design. Take a look at what we found (see our pinterest boards for even more ideas)...

We love this art gallery wall + mirror + chandelier via aperfectgray (one of our fave blogs!)

Mercury glass + books + layers = the perfect vignette.

(We have vintage fashion books too.)

We wish you a beautiful week!
Be sure to share your design finds and accomplishments with us. We love to hear from you. In the meantime, take a virtual trip to Europe with us...

Life on the Outside: PATIOPALOOZA is here!

Aaahhh! Warm weather, outdoor gatherings... We love the season of Life on the Outside. Our annual patiopalooza event kicks off this Friday and goes through Sunday! We have all kinds of new, fresh finds coming in this week just for the big weekend! EXCLUSIVE to Post & Gray are some fabulous Bevara pieces, like these...

...Perfect for your exterior and interior living spaces. Bevara is all about sustainable and lasting design. We love their use of re-purposed NASCAR scrap metal to create the above colorful metal tables. The concrete tables and drums are also a great option for outdoor areas. And don't you love the light streaming through the windows in these images?

As we dream of the ultimate outdoor living scenario, we've been on a quest for more & more outdoor decor inspiration (be sure to follow us on pinterest).

Here are some beautiful discoveries to get your creative design in gear for the season of outdoor entertaining...

Life on the Outside: garden stools!

We love garden stools, indoors or out...all year long. They add interest, texture, function and form. And now that it's MAY, we're dreaming and scheming of outdoor patio parties and preparing for our annual patiopalooza (mark your calendars for next weekend, May 17-19 for the big event).

Here's our latest lot of fabulous garden stools, ready to be-deck your decks, sunrooms, patios or porches...

We have been busy pinning images of outdoor settings to inspire. Don't you just love life on the outside? Alfresco dining and patio parties are calling our name. Here are some outstanding outdoor spaces and places to motivate you to get ready for outdoor entertaining (notice the garden stools, one or more)...

Fresh Flowers!

In the May issue of elle décor, we were smitten with the feature "A Budding Romance" about the ever-fresh and ever-inspiring forms of flowers in fabrics and fashion. So, we did a little flora search of our own and came across some beautiful images...

We are of course inspired to don a hint of flowers in our Spring and Summer fashions, but since our focus tends to be all things interior, we especially wanted to share with you some fresh flower interpretations in home design...

You too can update your vintage chairs with a fresh floral print. We have high-end upholstery fabrics, including gorgeous toiles, starting at just $10/yard at Post & Gray...

Or, give your gallery walls a lift with beautiful floral art, like this one at Post & Gray...

Here's an amazing gallery wall worthy of imitation...

...and flower art that stands alone...

Notice the beautiful yellow upholstered sofa. We have custom upholstery options for sofas and chairs, some are ready in just 10 days...and you're in luck because we are having our May WAREHOUSE WEEKEND at P&G this Friday through Sunday, May 3-5.

...You can also add a breath of fresh flowers with floral draperies to get this look...

We always have low, low prices on designer draperies and have custom drapery options as well.

We also have wallcovering selections via our in-house design studio, KVID. Peruse through books of wallcoverings and select just the right fit for your home interiors. Here are some papers we found this week that tell our fresh flower story beautifully...
