Several factors have made me particularly interested in re-doing rooms in our house recently. Let's go through them backwards:
- Just got married. Just got a bunch of really nice stuff from Crate and Barrel and Macy's for wedding gifts. Also got quite a few gift cards to IKEA, West Elm, Crate and Barrel, etc. that we are SO excited to use. Hopefully this weekend.
- Just got married. Equals, haven't had any spare time to spend on the house since we moved in in February. There are half-painted walls in three rooms. It's bad. Now, I am thrilled to have spare time on my hands! Weekends, anyone?! I haven't had a partially free weekend since like May!
- Just got married. Feeling an obligation to be more grown-up somehow, and live in less of a college student-ey or high school girl-ey place. Not that our home is either of those, but it could use some growing up, I think. We don't have a whole lot of quality stuff since I love to use thrifted pieces, and that's great, but I'm ready to mix in the nicer stuff.
- Just got married. Have more time to stare at Pinterest. Aaaaaaahhhhh... inspiration.
This weekend we're hoping to spend some of our gift cards from the wedding, and maybe at least prioritize house projects. On the front of my mind is painting the bedroom. Yes, I
just painted our bedroom. In this house. But I don't like it. I want to paint it a pale grey, and still need to design the rest of it. Here are some inspirations...

I love looking through my old design inspiration files. It's like reading a magazine full only of pictures I like!
Although I'm still having a design crisis for the bedroom. I'm having a hard time balancing between modern, funky, and classic lines. I want to blend them all, with the pale grey walls and some bright colors and neutrals, but am having a hard time picturing it all when I don't necessarily have all the pieces yet. Any thoughts or ideas on starting nearly from scratch with just a wall color in mind?
I wish you could search
Pinterest for "grey walled bedrooms" and find all of them, even if they're not titled as such!
