GREY INSPIRATION

I'm usually all about color, but today I want to share some Grey.

Inspiration fabric that make me think... bedroom.

I'm loving this "Suzani" inspired fabric for long draperies in a master bedroom.

(Suzani is a type of embroidered and decorative tribal textile)

 This coordinating fabric would be great for accent pillows on the bed.
The added golden/yellow/green color works really well with the black and grey.

Love this shimmer fabric by Stout for an amazing throw or bedspread.

Can't forget to add a bit of "glam" to the design.

 Could also add this big, bold pattern for additional pillows, on a chair, or bench.

Coordinate with warm grey paint for the walls. 

... and an upholstered, tufted headboard to complete the look.

This is my inspiration that I wanted to share with you.

Would you be comfy in a soothing grey palette for your bedroom?

ah...zzzzzzzzzzzz!!!

Thank You Brittany

I was thrilled to open an email from the sales girl, Brittany, at the builder's sales office to find this photo.  She went to the site and took this photo to show us the updated progress on our new home!

Now that's customer service!

Our house is the third one in from the left.

YAY!!!

MOVING FORWARD

So here we are...

Before moving into a new home there's the process of packing up.

We are in the middle of that process right now.

Cleaning out and packing up!

The cleaning out process is feeling very good to me, but I must say the packing up is a bit harder.

It's a bittersweet experience for me this time around.

I live in the moment the best that I can, but at this moment I also have to plan ahead.

I'm getting excited for what's to come! 

This will be my motto for today.

Please feel free to use it as well.  I love to share!

Our closing date on this current house is November 29th.

Enjoy this journey down crazy land...LOL!

WALLPAPER

Is wallpaper making a comeback in the interior world?

Well let's just say "it ain't grandma's wallpaper anymore!"

I've selected a few wallpaper designs that resonated with me.

As you can see, they ain't what grandma had, unless you had the hippest grandma in town.

Let your imagination go wild!

Can't go wrong with a little "retro".

This stripe wallpaper is one of my favorites!  

Yes, I'm a sucker for stripes.

I would probably use this in a small room and on just one wall.  It has a very modern look and can get very busy and overwhelming if it was on many walls.

How about using it on the ceiling?!  That would make an amazing statement in any room.

When thinking about interior design, I like to think outside the box a bit.

Why have your living space look like everyone else, right?!

Live a little and go for it!  

Life's too short so add a little of the unexpected in your home today.
