Not sure if you notice a theme going on in our soon to be house… lots of grays and blues. I love how light blue paired with white and grays provide such a clean feeling (and I could totally use that right now with our disaster of an apartment). I’m also trying to stay much away from the warmer colors such as oranges and reds – I once had a red bedroom and I’m just not digging it anymore.

So anyways – A while back I shared a shower curtain that I purchased from Target. However, I have now returned it because I was having an incredibly hard time deciding on a wall color and accent colors. I saw this ikat print at Kohls and decided to scrap the whole idea and for a little over $100 I had everything bought (but the paint).

So here is our plan: Paint the walls a light gray color. Add the shower curtain, rugs, and hang the towels. I’d also like to stain the vanity a darker color. We’d also paint the door and trim white. This bathroom connects to our bedroom, so we’re glad this will work nicely with our bedroom. And then eventually down the road, replace the shower tile (and remove that extra step) and then replace the vinyl floor with tile as well. Also down the road: replace the countertop – as well as frame out the mirror. Last, but not least, replace the light fixture.

The countdown is on… 6 days until we close on our house!!

State of Crazy would be the exact words I’d use to describe our apartment. The countdown is on… 10 days until we close! Right now we’re working on packing everything up as well as figuring out how to clean our apartment from top to bottom to get our security deposit back. Here are a few photos if you don’t believe me…

So, I’ve already documented my plans to redo our family room and kitchen. Now onto the next room, our master bedroom. We really want to focus on finishing our bedroom and bathroom first, since those are the two spots are easiest and we’ll use them right away upon moving in.

Here is how the master bedroom looks right now:

Here is what we plan on doing… Paint the walls a medium teal/green color. Next, we already have our bedding, so we’ll make our bed! Then hang up our current headboard, with plans to reupholster it some day in a printed pattern. Next we’ll hang our curtains, which my parents bought us for a housewarming gift (along with a hose). Hang our shelves that we used in our previous bedroom, above our headboard. Replace the ceiling fan/light with a chandelier. Use our existing chocolate brown dressers and find some decor pieces to add, such as a few mirrors to reflect the light all around the room and a fun geometric rug. We also will need to eventually upgrade our bedside tables – we’re currently using Ikea Lack tables. Here is a mood board I assembled to give you a better idea of how it’s all coming together.

I also used this photo from Design Star as my main inspiration for the color scheme.
