Happy Mondays!

I'm pretty sure I'm loving white right now.

Shopping Day!

The boyfriend finally has a job interview today so I'm taking advantage of this trip to Birmingham to do some tasty shopping.

Anthro


Crate and Barrel


Williams-Sonoma

I'm really craving a new structured bag, of course I'm dreaming of the white wainscott Michael Kors Satchel, but that's a little out of my budget right now.


This one is what I'm looking for and more in my price range from Forever 21.


Reminds me of a decor like this

Happy Monday everyone.

What I call "My Oasis"

I always consider my bedroom, "My Oasis" and rightly it should be. It is the one ME place, a place where I can relax, think and not have the outside worries of life interfere. It is difficult though when I am completely indecisive of what direction I want to take my color/style choices in to pull the room together. I am completely obsessed with gray right now, it's odd, many say its a sad, depressing color. But I beg to differ, it provides a balanced and perfect backdrop for exciting, colorful accents.

I'm still in love with yellow and gray together, but I don't know how well that will go over with the boy. I think the more neutral the better.

As soon as I get into a more permanent place, these will definitely serve as inspiration for my bedroom.

Balanced Bedroom

I haven't had much time or energy to focus on my bedroom. I need my space to be clean, clear and balanced. I'm working on developing a unique headboard design, but for right now I hung a simple door mirror sideways. The two black solid marble lamps were found at the Goodwill in Birmingham, although the shades work they are a little dirty so I may change them. The duvet cover I made myself, It is incredibly soft and was a fun project. I'm going to work on constructing a fun headboard, 2 side tables and of course find a frame when I have a second. I also intend on buying some fabulous fabric from I.O Metro to create a fun rug to liven up the floor. I'm also considered a padded, bench to place at the end of the bed. Storage perhaps?
This is the Color palette I intend on working with for the bedroom. I love the grays and yellows together. Its very unexpected, masculine but the yellow helps provide feminine touches.

I.O Metro Zebra Rug (they have a great print of this in gray for $9.75/yd! ) here's a close up of my fun light-up flowers, they create a great glow at night. I just bought some cedar twigs to put in them and I'll probably move them somewhere I can display them better.
