These inspiring shades of grey are brought to you by the first cool breeze of the year.

This is such a simple pretty linen from Untold Imprints. Isn’t the worn edge pretty? I like the paint-spattered table here, too.

Another rustic kitchen towel. (And eggplant. I keep on buying eggplant, keep on trying to cook it, and keep on not liking it. But I haven’t tried it with tahini yet, so maybe there’s hope.)

This is a photo from Jane Cumberbatch’s lovely home. If you don’t already, you must read Jane’s blog, Pure Style. Her photography and thoughts about simple things in the home and garden are always delightful.

Here is another similarly-styled space, this time from the Danish magazine Femina as posted by Emma’s Designblogg (which, by the way, is a not-to-be-missed treasure trove of Scandinavian design).

I kind of really just want to live inside this color swatch.

And, lastly, I’m incredibly inspired by this fantastic headpiece from the Wovenplay collection. Watch out, Aveline. Your head is about to be decorated.

With feathers.

Again.

Happy Monday, everyone!
