GRAYSCALE The Coolest “No Color� Colors Grayscale is a range of monochromatic shades from black to white.

Therefore, grayscale contains only shades of gray and no color.

Cool, warm cottage-style kitchen with open shelving mixes gun metal gray, gray-black and black with creams, white and clear glassware for a stunning effect. Naturally occurring grayscale hues of the marble countertop compliment the shades chosen for this kitchen.

Grayscale tones are consistent throughout. The den’s coffee table and china cabinet are a distressed, antique finish over Cape Cod Gray. The rustic bench

HYDRANGEAS The Four Seasons Flower

Marshfield Hills Hydrangeas ripe for plucking can be dried for winter floral arrangements to be enjoyed all year.

The moisture of the sea has a hand in the flourishing of these lush Hydrangeas

Hearty hydrangeas are the last blooms to shrivel from a bountiful seaside summer garden fed with salt air and bright sunshine.

There are up to 75 varieties. Their color evolution from white, blue and pink to antiqued cream, green and plum signal winter’s approach.

The beauty of the bloom is that they may be dried and saved to decorate tables and doors and holiday wreaths. They can even be dyed with Ritz or spray painted red, gold and silver. Salvage a touch of summer with a fireplace wreath decorated with shells and hydrangeas.

If for some unfortunate reason you missed the opportunity to clip these plentiful shoreline beauties, they can be had for sale on eBay (of all places). Of course, it’s so much more rewarding when you have a hand in your decor as humble as it may be, but it’s impossible to look clumsy when hydrangeas are the medium of your creation.

Dried Hydrangea, Lemon Leaf, Merlot Eucalyptus, Bear Grass, and a touch of Artemesia Wreath designer Tawna Anastaspoulos
