'I’ve been thinking a lot about bricks lately. That’s partly because my late mother‘s birthday falls at the end of July, which always reminds me of the Dutch Colonial home she brought us up in. And I’m working on a kitchen/family room project with a white painted brick fireplace wall and hearth. But, mainly, bricks have been on my mind so much this summer because they’ve also been on my back for so many hours and miles!

'I think it’s official: gray is the color of the moment, especially in the bath and kitchen. As a lover of gray, I understand and support this trend. Gray is an effortless color for me; I wear it all the time and paint with it whenever possible. My favorite gray is a bit abstract; it is neither blue, white nor lavender but something in between that works well with white, black, an array of stones and rich wood tones.
