The Power of Pairs

Two is better than one. Pairs add instant symmetry and visual impact to any interior design. We found some beautiful examples of how pairs make a strong statement. Take a look...

This gorgeous bedroom design via Living Etc. (a favorite design read) showcases the power of two in several ways. A pair of matching pendant lights, nightstands, pillows and a pair of graphic, textural art that serves as a stunning headboard. We love the fresh look of this space. It also makes us want to create our own DIY headboards and art with some of the amazing fabric at Post & Gray.

...here's more inspiration in pairs...

Don't you love the fresh pops of green?  We have our own fresh greens and striking pairs here at Post & Gray as well.  Take a peek at a few great examples...

Check-out these gorgeous new lamps, just $185 for the pair.
Plus the perfect pair of python x-benches, just $350 each.

So, why not add some visual interest and drama with a pair of pendants, lamps, pillows, stools, chairs, accents and MORE!!! Come see us soon.

We can't wait to see you...In the Gray!

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)...

Mercury glass + books + layers = the perfect vignette. 

(We have vintage fashion books too.)

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...

Trend Forecast: COLOR! COLOR! COLOR!

We always love the ease and comfort of neutrals and naturals, but there is something to be said for going all-out BOLD with COLOR! And Spring and Summer are the perfect seasons to add brights to the mix. We fell in love with this colorful interior...

It works so well because the core pieces are great neutrals. Fresh white sofas, natural woods, layers of neutral texture...then the addition of COLOR. Vibrant, vivid tones in the statement art (see our post on that topic here) and accent pillows.  Of course, we noticed that we happen to have a lot of those items currently at Post & Gray if you wish to re-create this look.  Like these...

 Large, Colorful and Graphic Art

Green Glass Lamp

 Natural Pendant Light

Decorative Urns

Colorful, Patterned Pillows

Neutral Sofas, Sisal Rugs and Interesting Cocktail Tables

Unique Fresh and Colorful Elements

We were also inspired by other images of color we found this week...

COLOR is popping up everywhere. In interiors, exteriors, architecture, design...

Why not add a dose of color to your world?

Come visit us this week and weekend to see even more new and fabulous finds.

We always have fresh ideas for styling your home.
