Then, I came across this picture which is now my inspiration room:
Holy moly do I love this! The color is called Kendall Charcoal by Benjamin Moore. I've never been afraid of dark colors and just think this would be so amazing in our bedroom. The only hitch is that I now want a new upholstered headboard (king size preferably which also means a new mattress!), new end tables and white bedding. That's not much...right??? After talking it over with Dave, I decided on just getting new bedding for now and then eventually replacing the other things down the road. Hopefully sooner rather than later...right Dave!? My good friend clued me into the fact that Ikea has a lot of all white bedding choose from so I'll start there (because you know I'm going to have the bedding bought, washed and ironed before we even more into our new house).
I just can't wait for it all to come together...especially when I purchase these amazing pieces:
-
And Mom - before you email me about how crazy it is to get mirrored end tables with two little kids and a gianormous dog - I don't care - I love these and they will be mine! I can just keep a bottle of windex and some paper towels in the drawers - and for those of you who think I'm kidding about that - definitely not.
With this new paint color for the bedroom, it changes the bathroom color as well. I'm thinking I'm going to go with a softer grey in the bathroom like this. It's called Stormy Monday by Benjamin Moore.
I think it will be softer than the bedroom but still go. This in turn changes my ideas on the hardware, faucets and lighting too. Eeeek! Who knew everything would snowball from changing one itty bitty color!? I found this light online for a steal and quickly bought it. FYI - Overstock had free shipping on it. Not sure why...but I'm not questioning it and am just going with it.
I LOVE THIS LIGHT. I LOVE THIS LIGHT. I LOVE THIS LIGHT.
I had been going back and forth on how many lights to get above our 6" double sink vanity. Do I need one long light? Do I need two shorter lights? If I get two, do I need them to have 2 or 3 or even 4 lights on each? Who the heck ever even notices these things? Not me. Luckily when I googled this light it came up with this picture and made my decision real easy. Only one light. Done.
