Inspiration | Insta-stalking Gray Antiques' Kitchen

When I come across a wonderful new insta-feed it's like pure gold to me.  Finding a home full of soul, with collected antiques, charming details, character filled interiors, and classic, timeless appeal will get me every time.  When I first came across Gray Antiques and Interior's  I knew I'd found another gem.  (Link to instagram: grayantiques and link to website: grayantiques.com.)  

There are a lot of interiors at the moment that I feel look great in a 3x3 photo or as part of super cohesive Instagram feed where they've been brightened to perfection, yet they aren't homes or rooms I can imagine living in.  It's not a negative judgment to those beautiful homes, because I know the care and thoughtfulness that go into creating them - there is certainly room in the world for all styles!  It's just that I crave inspiration from homes that feel more in line with my own style and as a self-taught decorator there is such value in knowing and curating your own aesthetic.  When new clients come to me for help with their homes, I like to have a repertoire of inspiration, both old and fresh, from which to draw ideas, so I consider it part of my business to hone in and study spaces that speak to me, and I've been studying (admiring) these pics since I first saw them.

I'm currently helping a friend with her kitchen renovation, so I have kitchens on the brain all the time (Hi Matt and Katie!)  The kitchen from Gray's Antiques (recently renovated) is what first drew me in.  It's a classic off white kitchen that just looks and feels so good.  According to her insta-feed (yep, total stalker...) the walls are painted Benjamin Moore French Canvas, the off white cabinets are from National Lumber, the counters are quartz (you all know I'm a fan) they are Viatera in Minuel, antique brass hardware, and 3x6 Whisper Perla glossy white subway tile, the floors are Provincial Walnut Stain.

Here are a few more shots.  For more, check out her insta-feed...
