I've been visiting lots of blogs where folks are falling in love with gray and white. Did you know IKEA now has Ektorp slipcovers in Gray? (or am I just slow in realizing this.) This would solve the 'white gets dirty' problem so many are worried about. I hope you are enjoying the Labour Day Weekend!
Edited to add: Gray wouldn't work in our home, and although it is not my favourite, I thought I would share this with those who are trying to incorporate more gray in their decor.
