Shades of Grey

I’ve been redoing my bedroom, slowly but surely, for the last year. Aside from a new dresser & bed/headboard I’ve basically got it done. I thought I’d be doing it in purple with shades of grey accents but it’s turned more into grey with shades of purple and black & white accents.

Last night while at Target I finally found my back up blanket for when my down comforter is too hot. I may have, also, finally found a bed skirt that will work with my duvet cover. I’m still searching for a purple one but a grey one will work just as well. You’d think purple & grey would be easy color schemes to find but not so much.

Here are some of my favorite pieces of the room:

I think part of the gray takeover is I've really been into grey . Luckily last night I was able to combine my love for grey & my search for a cute pair of boots. I can’t wait to wear them. Considering its Fall you’d think I could but living in Earths version of Hell is making it a tad bit too hot to wear boots just yet.

I finally received the jewelry I ordered in the mail. I LOVELOVELOVE my coral rose/turquoise necklace from RachelleD. I will definitely be buying more as soon as possible. Nicole’s necklace was gorgeous as well. The turquoise flower ring is my favorite ring of those I ordered. I couldn’t figure out why it was taking so long to arrive but I wasn’t paying attention when I ordered and I guess the "shop" I bought it from is in Athens, Greece. The black ring I ordered broke the first day I wore it, which was a bummer. Now I know what materials are best to use and which aren't, should I ever decide and/or get around to making my own.


Jimmy Eat Worlds Invented CD dropped this week and I LOVELOVELOVE it!!  Their concert is at the end of the month and the time until then is going to drag.  Some of the new songs are going to totally rock live.  Invented is a little reminiscent of their Chase This Light CD but just a little off beat from their usual bread & butter sound.  I'm really liking their Wilco cover of "You & I".  There's a few songs vying for my new favorite song(s) so we'll just have to see which ones grow on me in the next few weeks.
