Across the Pond

I'm a pretty big fan of Scandinavian and Dutch interior design so I was pretty excited when I came across a post about VT Wonen while I was reading one of my favorite blogs, Bloesem. Vt Wonen is a Dutch interior design magazine and the most exciting part is that they do a feature on a different color scheme each week. There is also a gallery full of images from previous weeks which you can find here. Its a great place to look for inspiration. And you can use Google Translate if you want to read the articles.
These are some of my favorite images from VT Wonen:

I also found this great Swedish magazine, Skona Hem. Sometimes some of the pages don't translate with Google Translate, but there are planty of inspiring images on thier website. I love this image of this vintage looking dining room. Its kind of a vintage country kitchen meets Marie Antoinette.

Paint Pallettes from Domino Mag

Domino Magazine has a great paint pallette gallery on thier website here. I found myself being drawn mostly to the pale color pallettes with grays. Gray is usually known as a sad, dreary color but I think if its done right like in the images below, and in a room with windows to let in some natural light, it can be calming or elegant looking.
I know its not a typical color for a dining room but I'm liking the idea of a pale gray dining room with white trim. Any thoughts?

Here are my favorite pallettes from the Domino gallery:
