Love it . . . Keep it. . . Gray and Yellow

Welcome to “Love it…Keep it” where I talk about what I’m currently loving and keeping this week. Right now I am obsessed with the color combo of gray and yellow! I am planning a makeover for our guest room and definitely want to use gray, yellow, and white. Below is some of my inspiration:
This one is from a blog I love, called Little Green Notebook. I am obsessed with the fabric she used for the curtains….but I contacted her and it is way out of my price range….so I’ll have to hunt around for something similar on a budget! If anyone knows of anything like this, please let me know! I also love the yellow lamp. I spotted one very similar to it at TJ Max…I hope it is still there!
This next photo I’ve been obsessed with for over a year and want to recreate it on a wall in the guest room. It is from the Sweet & Saucy Shop in CA. I went to high school with Melody, the owner, and her stuff is truly amazing! (She made yummy cupcakes for our second wedding reception in CA). Plus, her shop looks adorable. The photo was taken by Diandra Ann, love her!
And of course I had do find some cute gray and yellow weddings as inspiration too!
And don’t you just love this stationary? I think the color combo is amazing…love it!
What are you lovin’ and keepin’ this week?

    I agree. Can't wait to stay in the "new" guest room when it's finished. My son married such a creative girl!

    What a great color combo idea. I have a guest room that I would like to redo and think that this just may be it. Thanks for sharing. I love your "love it – keep it" posts.

    Hi, I know this is a little late, but I just found your post through Google. I am looking for gray and yellow fabric for drapes. Can you tell me what the fabric in the first picture is? Did you find any fabrics that were in your price range like that? If so, can you tell me where? Thanks

It really is true when they say the days are long It really is true when they say the days are long but the years are short. One day I’m struggling to carry two babies at a time while wrangling a toddler and then next minute they are all off to school and practices and friends’ houses. With all three kids in school we’ve been thinking a lot about their futures and how we are going to one day pay for college. We set up a Michigan Education Trust 529 plan for each of our kids when they were babies and I am SO happy we did! With a MET account, we can pay for future college tuition at today’s prices. With MET’s discounted age-based pricing the earlier you start, the more you are able to save! Plus grandparents and other loved ones can contribute to my kids’ accounts too! With MET you get back what you put in if your child chooses a different path and the money goes with you if your child goes to school out of state. You can even transfer it to immediate family members and all contributions to MET plans are tax deductible! To learn more about how to set up a MET account and the benefits of starting your child’s account early, check out my stories or the link in my bio. @mieducationtrust #sponsored #SETwithMET #MI529 #collegesavings #METSept2023
