Maybe it’s the dreary weather in the NYC area, or maybe it’s all the talk of the 50 Shades of Grey books, but I’ve got greys on the brain today. Greys and only greys, it seems!

Most of these monochromatic rooms have a few pops of color here and there, but for the most part – they’re all shades of grey.  As long as I have some color here and there, along with a bit of white, I think I could make it in a room like this. In fact, my own bedroom has a ton of grey and its one of my favorite rooms.

So, tell us – do you love this look? Would you be able to live in a room like this or would it make you feel too dreary?

Happy Friday! Hope you had a great week and an even better weekend ahead. Here’s what six awesome things we came across this week, and as always, feel free to share yours in the comments!

1) Wouldn’t it be amazing to drive around with these decorative tires on your car?
2) I’m getting ready to get my life organized and in order and this blog is providing tons of inspiration. (So what if I don’t have kids and I’m reading parenting blogs, it’s for life organization!!)
3) This fun print is the perfect gift for the diehard Mad Men fan in your life – even if it’s for yourself!
4) Warm weather calls for light airy cocktails, like this refreshing champagne punch.
5) Would you go dizzy working in a room with these black and white stripes?
6) Loving the modern style and ample storage in this bed from Wonk.

Enjoy the weekend!! (And don’t forget to enter our giveaway!)

It’s been almost two months since our last So Pinteresting post – where has the time gone? Seriously, though – I cannot believe it’s almost Memorial Day. Is there anyone who feels like time isn’t flying? Unless it’s in reference to a work day – I can’t say that I’ve ever heard someone say the opposite of time flying by!

Anyway, back to that Pinteresting post we’re doing here. I noticed that I’ve been pinning a lot of sparkling gems and geodes the past few days. Perhaps its a sign that it’s time for me to bring some gems & geodes into my home – I think that tealight holder would be perfect!

What about you – have you noticed any patterns in your pins lately?

As I’m in the market for some outdoor lounge chairs for my own home, I’m not sure if any of these are as practical as I need them to be. But what’s wrong with a little day-dreaming?

Perhaps the second lounge chair shown above isn’t so impractical – in fact with that in my backyard, I wouldn’t even have to go inside to sleep at night! That lounge chair is definitely calling my name the loudest – it’s important to be extra cozy while lounging by the pool, right? Right!

Which of these modern lounge chairs do you see yourself on?

Does anyone remember the Shoes video from like five years ago? It’s a bizarre video, but the ways they say “shoes” is how I said the title of this post in my head. It seems like the way that video stuck with me is comparable to the way shoe obsessions stick with women – and some men, too – forever.

Personally, I love shoes because I know no matter how much weight I ever gain and lose, I’ll always have my shoes! (Nice rhyme, huh?) However, it’s unlikely that I’ll ever be able to fill a closet like those shown above, but a girl can dream, right? Right.

These days it’s important for me to find cute comfortable shoes, but at a reasonable price. (That way I can buy more!) I was recently turned onto Zalando, a UK-based site that offers a ton of shoes and other apparel and accessories. No matter what you’re looking for, you’ll find loads of great shoes, clothes and even beauty products on zalando.co.uk.

I’m always sending you to the best sites for modern furniture and recipes – so I thought why not go for some shoes?! Where are your go-to shopping sites for shoes?
