Dismissed from jury duty! Yay!
Now back to the real world...
It's been an exhausting week and I haven't felt very creative or inspired, that is until I came home yesterday to 2 packages on my front stoop!
Remember the lamp I ordered from One Kings Lane (my very first purchase)?
Now it's mine! I have it temporarily set up in my living room until I paint my bedroom. I wanted to take a picture of it but I left my camera at my boyfriends house, so that will have to wait for Friday. I think the lamp has inspired me to get started with the painting.
I got another sign about painting my room yesterday when I bought the November issue of House Beautiful. I was looking at the section where they show a series of peoples favorite paint colors and how people use them, when I saw a picture of a lovely dark gray room. I read the little quote, and the color was Kendall Charcoal from Benjamin Moore, the same color I chose for my bedroom! I'll just take that as a sign that it's the perfect color for my room!
While I was looking at the House Beautiful website--trying to find the Kendall Gray bedroom, which I never found--I found some nice photos in the gallery section. I haven't looked at it in a while, so these pictures are new to me, but maybe not to you. So maybe this post is more to re-inspire myself to get myself going on my room!
I think the unintentional theme here is pretty ethnic patterns (got my suzani on my mind--I swear, when my room is done I will stop talking about suzanis)...

Hi, I read your comment on Decor8 and truly agree. I see a lot of myself in what you wrote about you! Nice to meet you.
ReplyDeleteI found you through Decor 8 as well! I am trying to establish a blog, but have no idea how to get people to read it?
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I love charcoal gray walls, and can't wait to see how your bedroom turns out! If only i could paint my little white apartment...
