Read MoreWe are so excited to announce our partnership with House Beautiful. Earlier this year Gray Space along with a handful of other amazing designers were asked to take part in the annual House Beautiful Whole Home Concept showhouse. The home is a 14,000-square-foot landmark property located in Hinsdale, Illinois. We were immediately inspired by the home’s exquisite architecture and the land surrounding the property. Finding out that all of the designers chosen for the home redesign are women gave us the idea to continue celebrating femininity and create a ladies' suite that includes an entry hall, salon/parlor, and bedroom. The suite is now a #softlife sanctuary where you will find a space to unwind, connect, and indulge in moments of quiet camaraderie.

Read MoreHey Guys! It’s been way too long since my last blog. We have been so busy with client projects that I haven’t had a chance to blog in a while. But I had to hop on and share my latest home project! About two years ago I totally renovated my living and dining rooms in my very first One Room Challenge! It was an amazing and transformative experience… it was even published on housebeautiful.com! In that project, we elevated our space with paint, window treatments, an 11 foot fireplace wall and of course new furniture. You can read all about it here: One Room Challenge. At the time with such a huge renovation, I knew that I could not work a new sofa into the budget, so I pulled the sofa bed from our guest room and repurposed it in the new space with hopes that one day we could replace it a dream sofa! Well… that day is here!
