Gray is one of the hottest colors of the season.  I really can’t get enough of the color!  I can’t control myself when it comes to gray in my home decor and in fashion!  It is classic, yet soothing at the same time.

So, why not add gray to your classroom decor?

I am so obsessed with yellow and gray.  If you follow me, you know that I’ve created a yellow and gray collection a couple years ago.  This pretty color combination continues to be extremely popular, so I made the decision to create a NEW yellow and gray collection with updated patterns.  I’ve also added beautiful coordinating classroom decor to the Schoolgirl Style Shop.  Make sure you stop by and check out my pretty new products!

Behind the Scenes:  If you look closely at my labels, I tend to use names of people that mean a lot to me.  In this particular photo shoot, I chose to celebrate my friend, Katie.  I met Katie when her daughter was in my Kindergarten class eight years ago.  She was the mom that would show up whenever I needed help, she would call me when she was out shopping and ask if I needed any supplies, and when I found out I was expecting a baby, she was the first one there with a bag of maternity clothes.  She was an amazing mother and friend.  Right before this shoot, Katie lost her battle to breast cancer.  She left behind a husband and three young daughters.  Although I know that Katie is a beautiful angel now, my heart still hurts for her family.  Katie loved fashion and all things pretty…Katie would have LOVED this collection.

Here are some photos that inspired my Yellow and Gray Classroom…

This collection has a pretty vintage vibe, while also keeping it fresh and modern with trendy patterns.

Pretty gray poms have now been added to the Schoolgirl Style Shop!

What do you think of these adorable owls?  The collection was created without any owl images for a very sophisticated look, but add owl cutouts to your classroom decor to create some instant whimsy in your classroom!

Did I mention that I LOVE these owls?!?
