Happy September!

Happy September 1st, Everyone! The air hints of crispness (Read: It is now, like, 96 outside instead of 106) and football season is upon us! ALSO, our closing is scheduled for the 10th. :) Things are getting pretty real, which is exciting and scary all at the same time. Very overwhelming regardless. Seriously! What color am I going to paint the living room, kitchen, stairway and upstairs hall!? Anyone? Bueller?

Let's move along before I need a paper bag to breathe, shall we?

I've changed up some of my ideas for the master bedroom (mostly because I never found yellow bedding I liked). I want it to feel like we're taking a little trip somewhere every night. Like we're sleeping in some calm, expensive hotel room.

I'm thinking a dark gray along the line of this room on design*sponge:


And an upholstered headboard like these from Urban Outfitters and Target:

With fluffy white bedding kind of like this I saw on Cote de Texas:

(Note to self: learn how to keep white sheets bright.)

There is a little nook for seating that might be good for something fun like this fainting sofa from Urban Outfitters:


I think grey velvet curtains from Pottery Barn would be nice and sleepy:


Am I on the right track? Do you want to curl up and go to sleep? Zzzzzzzzzzz.....

Tuesday

First of all, I want this pillow from Etsy for the grey and yellow bedroom I think I want.


Please notice that there is an owl in the upper left hand corner peeking at you over his shoulder, a tiger in the lower right corner and a little grey bird above the tiger. Love. It.

I think this pillow would be perfect in the master bedroom in my head: grey (with just a hint of blue) walls and a yellow and white bedspread with this colorful pillow (keeping things not boring) on it.

Second of all, I need a sewing machine and the knowhow. There was this lovely yellow bedding at Pottery Barn last spring. I thought it was beautiful so I told my mom, "I really love this bedding, but since I don't usually like yellow, I have no idea what kind of room I would put it in or what color walls it would require." The rest of the conversation went something like this:

Mom: "That is pretty bedding. I really like grey and yellow together. I think it would look great in a room with grey walls!"

Me: "Ew! Yellow and grey?! No, thanks."

Mom: "I dunno. I like it."

My mom knows more than me.

Aaaaanyway. Now, of course, I can't find yellow bedding that I like, and I certainly can't find that yellow bedding I was drawn to last spring (wouldn'tyouknowit). Therefore, I need the sewing machine (Don't forget the knowhow. I need that, too.) so I can make the duvet cover I see in my head, which incidentally I have yet to come across online or in stores.

I'm still working on finding pictures of inspiration for the grey and yellow bedroom to show you (all three or four of you, you lucky ducks). Will post those at another date. In the meantime, have a great week!

p.s. I like writing things in parentheses (even if it is obnoxious and grammatically incorrect).
p.p.s. I also like the little turquoisey blue chair the pillow is on in the picture.
