I am feeling pinks and grays as I travel into the lovely month of May. Well, let me be honest — I am always feeling pinks and grays! But May can be sweet and stormy, so I think the two colors fit the bill perfectly. Together they are calm and beautiful and make up one of my favorite color combos. — Melissa from Melissa Loves
Cushion, Natural Facet - $115What can I say? Susan Connor’s designs go with anything and everything! I like to work them in any chance I get.
Love Poems by Pablo Neruda - $11.95What’s not to like about love poems with a pink and gold cover — by Pablo Neruda, no less. Even if you never crack it open, this book will bring a smile to your face anywhere you place it.
Zig Cotton Dhurrie, Fog - $195The quiet strength and handsome color palette of this rug make it soothing and striking.
Vice Versa Linen Throw, Bonbon - $350I love this throw for its shade of pink, or maybe because of the fabric. Either way it gets a thumbs-up.
Aztec Blanket, Rose - GBP 65This is another beautiful throw. It would be perfect tossed over the back of a couch or on a bed.
Copper Light CL-16 Pendant Lamp - $625This gorgeous pendant is such a great way to brighten up a room.
Queen Lady Peacock Bed Head, Pastel Pink - AUD 459I love this awesome rattan headboard by The Family Love Tree (great name, too). I think I would go for natural or white rattan, but this pink one would be perfect in a white room with gray and gold accents.
Bone Inlay Nesting Tables, Set of 2 - $449I am always coveting bone inlay. These nesting tables in gray are very handsome.
Gray Horse 2140-50 PaintThis is a perfect gray, warm and layered.
Torres Wool Kilim, Guava - $69All of the fresh takes on tribal-inspired rugs available today are so lovely. I like how just a few of the details here and there in this one are white.
Eclectique Dinner Plates, Steel Gray, Set of 4 - $119.95I love the utilitarian design of this handsome gray plate. It would be beautiful paired with dishes in a more ornate and feminine pattern.
Mud Australia Pink Serveware - $18This delicate and understated pink serveware would be beautiful on any table.
Beverly Joubert Photography ‘Pink Dusk’ Print - $2,800I love this photograph. I don’t usually covet nature photography, but this elephant is so beautiful. I wish I had a giant version of it on one wall.
Orianna Chair, Slate - $998Simple and elegant, this chair would fit in just about anywhere. The soft gray velvet is so lovely.
Black and Pink Marbled PlanterI love the pattern on this handmade planter, with its striated blacks, grays and pinks.
Washroom Mirror - $298This is a great-looking mirror. It has simple lines and a useful little shelf. Hang it in a bathroom or an entryway to hold your keys and mail.
Pink Floral Fringe Pillow - $98How could you not be cheerful while looking at this sweet pillow? It’s pretty as a picture and fresh with fringe. Yes, please!
Etched Arcadia Mural - $298I can’t resist a giant mural. This one would be so great in a dining room or bedroom, or really anywhere you’d like to create a little drama or a sense of adventure. Its gray tones would fit in anywhere.
3M 3313 Copper Foil Tape - $53I keep thinking of all the fun DIYs you could pull off with this copper foil tape. I might edge out a plain picture frame or add it to the edges of a coffee table in need of an update. Or create a custom design on the wall. What would you do with it?
Marigold Towel, Gray - $8New towels are one of my favorite ways to refresh the bathroom. These gray stunners look really soft.
