Someday Maybe...

Welp, it's been a few weeks ... so that means its time to redo our bedroom!

Sadly, I'm quite serious. Can't stick to just one thing. I had done it over with a beautiful quilt from target, really soft teal sheets, and light seafoam walls. Very relaxy and such. Hubby says its too bright. Black and white it is! I know that can be very bright but he seems the like the idea better. More masculine, though he claims he doesn't care.

Right now I'm just looking for inspiration, it will be a while til we can get that done because our little fur-baby had a suprise $1,500 trip to the vet for emergency surgery. He's fine now but that set us back quite a bit.

Do you have any rooms in your house/bookmarked favorite inspiration in black and white? Even with some neutrals mixed in! If anyone can leave me with comments of images or ideas I'd really appreciate it. Thank you!

It's Been Months! ... Not Much Has Changed

So I feel awful logging in this morning and seeing I haven't updated on here in over 2 months. Not that many people will notice but I feel like that is a terribly long time. Even so I'm going to update now. Not much in the house has changed. Still floundering on paint colors, can't make a decision on window treatments, currently not working, but did buy a new car. Go figure!

My most recent change would have to be this.
My husband's first reaction was 'it looks like a kids table' (he did like it though when I asked him yes or no, his favorite color is green!) but I like the pop of color, and if we have kids it will be fun. I considered changing either the table or the chairs to white but for the time being I like it a lot better than it was. The legs were black and the table top and chair top were a brown wood grain. Only problem was the finish was completely ruined. But let me back up my decision on the bold colors here. The entire room is going to be inspired off of this small kitchen rug my husband found.
The colors are much more vibrant in person. Darn iphones. The walls of the room are neutral and I want to do fairly neutral curtains because I change my mind too often, but I really wanted to get lots of blues and greens into the room. We live in a new subdivision where every house is more or less the same inside. I want mine to look as different as possible from the cookie cutter that everyone fills in. DH and I love blues and greens so why not!

The only other thing I've really done since then was yesterday was my friend's son's first birthday! I made him cupcakes, that was interesting.
Mickey Mouse themed party! He liked them, that was all I needed.

What has everyone else been up to these past few months?
