]]> So I’m getting closer to my dream bedroom! My wonderful mother sent me an early housewarming gift the other day… a 5-piece comforter set! It’s the Studio Gavin set and I absolutely love it:

  • clean, sophisticated look that carries throughout all the coordinating pieces

The next thing we need to find is the perfect bed frame!

We've already picked out the colors for the apartment, and I have been finding some inspiration for decorating my bedroom, my bathroom, and my office.

]]> The end is in sight! Our move date has been postponed (once again) and now our move date is September 1st. Let’s hope this sticks this time! We were originally supposed to move June 1st… got postponed to July 1st… got postponed to August 1st… sigh. Harmony went over there the other day and snapped some shots of the work in progress:

Can you see it? The recessed lighting, the dark cherry floors, the exposed brick… it’s all coming into focus. Slowly. We’ve already picked out the colors for the apartment, and I have been finding some inspiration for decorating my bedroom, my bathroom, and my office. I am trying not to do theme-based rooms, as my roommate has advised me that that’s somewhat tacky, so I am going to mix 3 themes together: Chagall (my favorite painter), Marilyn Monroe (my favorite celebrity), and Chicago (my favorite city). I found some faaaabulous Marilyn prints at one of the booths at Market Days! So excited. Here are some of the prints I have and are trying to collect to decorate with:

Wall Colors: Office, Living Room, My Bedroom, Harmony’s Bedroom
These are the two Marilyn prints I got at Market Days:

I LOVE them. I also have this full magazine, which I would like to frame in its entirety:

In addition, I would love to get these prints:

…among probably about a thousand others.
I’d like to get a few of my favorite Chagall’s, too, which include:

…I think a Marilyn/Chagall duet would be quite nice. :-)
