Shades of Gray in Home Decor

The color gray is fabulous. I just love it! Since it is a neutral color, it goes well with so many different colors. It definitely adds elegance and sophistication to a decor.

"Gray is the color of intellect, knowledge, and wisdom. It is perceived as long-lasting, classic, and often as sleek or refined. It is a color that is dignified, conservative, and carries authority. Gray is controlled and inconspicuous and is considered a color of compromise, perhaps because it sits between the extremes of black and white. Gray is a perfect neutral, which is why designers often use it as a background color." - Sensational Color




I love the pinstriped headboard and floral cushion here.




I love the gray wall that adds as a background to this absolutely gorgeous chair and fabulous side table.




What a great living room area here. Everything works so well together.



I love the white couch against the gray walls here. What a great contrast!




This bedroom is so gorgeous. I love the bed frame, the zebra striped cushions and the carpeting.




Really love these gray home decor accessories. Gorgeous!

Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookie n’ Oreo Fudge Brownie Bar

Yesterday, I had a family birthday party for my little boys whose birthdays are both this month. So last month I searched for different recipes that I could make. I love trying new things.

One of the recipes I found was on Pinterest. It was called the Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookie n’ Oreo Fudge Brownie Bar.

It looked good. It looked easy. It contained 3 desserts that taste really good. And I thought would taste exceptionally good in one dish. So, I thought I would give it a go.

It was so good. Very rich, but very good. A small portion. Topped with ice cream. In one word. Yum!



A definite to make dessert! Run, don't walk to make this! You may already have the ingredients in your pantry! :)
