The images are all from my Pinterest page. In the little time I have had off this past week, I have been a pinning machine! I wanted to share these because they stood out to me, in particular, for one reason or another. Gray’s and neutrals with a little sparkle have been catching me eye, except for that one amazing pop of pink.

I’ve been looking for a lot of bedroom and home decor inspiration because my Dad and I will be moving into the new house in a few short weeks. I have been looking for furniture, which is quite the task. I decided on a white, light gray, charcoal, metallic silver and pops of pink color pallet, and it’s so hard to know for sure that everything is going to flow. I don’t want everything to match, but I want it to be mixed and matched perfectly. Makes complete sense, I know.

Needless to say, I haven’t pulled the trigger on anything yet except a paint color. I’m not the best at decision making when there are tons of choices because I am so visual. That’s why I love styling so much. I want to see it all in front of me first, so I can play around with all the options to see what looks and goes the best. But that’s not possible with all of this, so, as fun as it is … it gives me a little anxiety. Truth be told … the only way I felt truly comfortable with saying “omg, yes!” to a paint color was after I searched for the Sherwin Williams color on Pinterest and the search results showed me tons of rooms that were painted that color. Genius idea, if I do say so myself!

So, I have to tell y’all something. Over the next couple months, I won’t be doing styled shoots. I’m not saying they won’t ever return. Because they will, but life is hectic right now. I know myself and, even the thought of styled shoots gives me anxiety because it takes a lot more time and energy than people realize. I wake up at 4AM sometimes before a 12-hour shift to get the blogpost put together because I have been otherwise tied up with other things on my days off. I’m happy to do that, because I absolutely love blogging and styling. But, with this move coming up, I have to spend my free time away from the hospital (I work three 12-hour shifts a week) focusing on creating this new space that is completely mine and reflects me. I need that for my sanity, honestly. I need it to make all of the New Year’s resolutions happen. I want to make big things happen this year, and that will mean that I redirect my FOCUS when it’s needed in order to DO and CREATE and INSPIRE. Ultimately, it’s all for the blog. I want to create a beautiful place for you all to come for inspiration and I want to create a beautiful place for me to generate that inspiration. So, I hope you are excited to go on this journey with me because, as y’all very well know, I am an open book and will be sharing as much as I can of the process.

My last three words are the same. Love. Love Love.

With love and sequins,
Haley
