The bright side.

I find it amazing...

the difference light can make.

My Mom made the wallpaper border magically vanish one day while I was at a wedding.

She is a wallpaper genie.

We inherited a bunch of wallpaper with this house, 

she has helped remove it all.

This was wallpaper wish #1...

granted.

Silver Shores by CIL.

Our bedroom furniture is a hand me down from my Father.

We replaced the brass hardware with black,

 and that is when I fell in love....

We originally thought we would use this set for a year or two 

 or until we found something new. 

But it is HEAVY, and I have yet to find something as well-made as this.

"They don't make them like they used to..."

They really don't...

we're keeping her.

From there I bought a new duvet cover,

from Sears.

On a side note, 

Does everyone's Grandma love SEARS?

Those crunchy royal blue shopping bags really get me...

Grey is easy, 

because grey goes with grey goes with white goes with black goes with grey.

You really can't go wrong.

That green vase / plant needs to beat it.

She is pretty and can live somewhere else in this house.

Just not here.

She isn't grey enough.

Funny how pictures shine a new light on things.

Art/Lamps/Mirror/Pillows

...all Homesense.

Duh...

All grey everything.

 OK maybe not everything...

Now lets be real for a second....

I cleaned and vacuumed and opened a window. 

Underwear and socks make a regular appearance in this room, 

I'm not fully 'Sears' just yet.

 Overflowing laundry,

Painfully curious dog.

 I need a coffee.
