Grey or Gray?

Does anybody know if it's grey or gray? I see it both ways and get confused! Either way, I'm dreaming of grey walls in our kitchen! With our closing date approaching, I've started thinking about how we're going to make our beautiful new house a home.

We elected to have everything painted white, instead of selecting a taupe for the house. Here's the thing- whatever color you choose is also painted on your ceiling. I REALLY wanted white ceilings, so it was the choice we had to make. Also, I think it's hard to choose a color before living in the home. You want to figure out how light works in your house to ensure you're not going too dark or light.

Let's have a recap on our new kitchen: white outer cabinets, kona island, bianco antico counters, chunky nickle hardware. Visit this post for pictures. The below kitchen sort of has the same colors as ours. Do you like it?

I love the idea of painting our walls a soft grey. What do you think? Here's one of the shades I like.

Vegetables, Finally!

Our microwave broke a while back, and GE wanted $75 to fix it. Excuse me, sir? I believe that's close to the price of a new one! Yesterday I hopped over to Target and picked up this little beauty (by Emerson). It was $85 and completely covered with graduation gift cards thankyouverymuch.

Now you know I have a penchant for Lean Cuisine Pizzas, but what you didn't know is that I LOVE VEGGIES! Last night I ate the most delicious bowl of Bird's Eye green bean steamers. Happy as a clam.

Oh, Martha


FFIL SE gave me a Macy's gift card for graduation. Martha Stewart's kitchen collection is something I've been lusting over for awhile. I just love her aqua and coral colors (much like one of my favorite wedding palettes). Here's some of my possible purchases....
