{Rainy Day}

Hi friends! I can't believe this is the first day all week that I'm posting, I don't know where the heck this week (or entire summer, for that matter) has gone! I head back to Cincinnati on Sunday and I feel like I just stepped off the plan in Houston. Time certainly flies, and I'm really going to miss my family. 

On a happier note, I am so very excited to move into my new apartment. Well. Actually. I'm not really excited for the moving part. Dreading, is more like it. But I am very excited for what is to come after I move in.

I'm loving this bedroom right now. It feels both masculine and feminine, warm and airy. Bravo.

I'm thinking, however, that since this place is going to be mine all mine, I'm going to indulge in the feminine just a wee bit. One day I'm (probably) going to have to live with a man who will veto my blush pink throw pillows and glitzy lamps, so I may as well live it up now.

This paint color is what is going in my entire apartment. A million years ago my mom painted one of the rooms in our old house this color, and she used it again recently in the house we are currently living in. It's Silver Sage by Restoration Hardware and I'm in love with it because it's really neutral but still really light and airy. I love grey walls, obviously, but in an old, beat up, college apartment like I'll be dealing with that doesn't reflect a ton of light, I was worried it would look too dingy. I think this is a perfect compromise because there is still lots of grey in it.

I love all of this tone on tone texture biz-nass. It's simple but effective. And also get's pretty pricey when it comes time to buy all of those different fabrics, so we'll see where I get with that.

The good news is, I'll be in this apartment until I graduate, so it's okay if I have to take my time with it and can't get everything together overnight. Remind me of that when I'm thinking of the 500 things I want to buy and am rocking myself in the corner because I have no money, will ya?


It's raining here and I've got a few hours before I have to go into work, so I think I'll make a cup of coffee and some breakfast and pop in a chick flick. I hope you all have a wonderful Thursday <3
