Here I shared my plans to redecorate our spare bedroom on a budget. I also mentioned that it’s going to be a slow process. So far, I’ve been true to my words:)
I bought the bedding (above) and needing to buy a queen-size blanket (somehow all our blankets are king…). I also purchased bright yellow fabric at IKEA and am in the process of making decorative pillows. Sometime, hopefully in a not very distant future, I will post a tutorial on my pillows (like you can’t find a million of those online already!).
I decided that the main colors in the bedroom are going to be gray and yellow. I LOVE this combination. I want, like, everything to be in these colors. I even have a plan on making a gray and yellow nursery for our future child (and I have NO plans of having the said child anytime soon… questions to my hubby!).
Ahh! Check out some of these inspiring photos.
And how stinkin’ awesome is this look?
I would like to add bits of a third/fourth color in the bedroom. What do you think will look beautiful with yellow and gray? I need combination suggestions. Pretty please?
I like the combination of yellow and grey but i think that it will be effective only in sunny rooms. If the room is shady the charming light yellow turns into old sad and faded. I guess in shady rooms it is more reasonable to use bright yellow color to add a piece of sun and warmth. I don’t know why (and don’t judge me for that) the last pic caused the only association: “Она несла в руках отвратительные, тревожные, желтые цветы…”. The flowers, the dress and the color are fine though
You are right… I think the room gets enough light though to make yellow and gray look ok.
Where is the quote from? Knowing your encyclopedia brain, must be some Russian classic?:)
Not that I read it lately (and not that I’m so encyclopedic
)… “The Master and Margarita” by Bulgakov
Grey & yellow is my alltime favorite color combo! It looks so fresh & crisp! I’d do grey walls with yellow and white pops. Royal blue accents or a sugary pink would also look nice. It depends on what you want the room to feel like. If you want it to be softer, go with a pastel pink or violet. If you want it to look more modern & strong, red or aqua would be perfect. Can’t wait to see what you choose! You can’t really go wrong here.

Mindyyyyyyy! Thanks a bunch! I love the idea of pastel pink or violet. I might just try it.
I don’t know if I’ll be painting walls any time soon though… The walls are soft peachy color, I think it may look ok as it is now. If I totally hate it, I will figure something out:) And by figuring something out I mean asking people like you for suggestions:)
This is my favorite combination both in clothes and in interior! We used those colors in our new kitchen and it looks awsome. Even in a rainy day if I turn the light there is an illusion of sun. Can’t wait to see your (that used to be mine – *wink*) new room. Good luck!
Maybe if you would just fly back and visit, it could be your room again!
Did you move into your new place? I’d like some updates, lady!
Love the gold and gray…..gonna be so pretty! Can’t wait to see the final product. My house needs a makeover too…ugh too much to do!!
A little at a time, Mrs. Cummings:) My house is a mess. I try to show the bits and pieces of it where you can’t see all the mess:)
I love the yellow and gray combination! I think purple would be a great accent!
Cassie, thanks for the suggestion! And THANKS for stopping by:)
I wil I will someday, Lenchik!!!
No, I haven’t moved yet, our remodeling goes very slowly. Only the kitchen is finished. I can’t wait when I will be able to decorate my place too. It’s soooo exciting!

I love the grey dress…does anyone know what brand it is or where I can get my hands on it for bridesmaids?
I don’t know where you can get your hands on it but I do know it was taken from this website http://www.greylikesweddings.com/2-inspiration/grey-likes-yellow-and-grey-of-course/ and it was originally just a shot of someone else’s wedding! Sorry we didn’t credit the pic… that was in the beginning when we were knew to this whole thing
