celebrating one year of apartment life!

My boyfriend Connor and I moved into our apartment one year ago today, and in that year, we truly have made this apartment our home! It feels like just yesterday that the whirlwind of moving barely sunk in before we were packing our bags, buying furniture and making sure we had enough late-night snacks stocked away. It is crazy how quickly a year has gone by, but we are so excited to kick off our second year of living together (and our anniversary month!) with a movie marathon and some wine! While we celebrate this little milestone in our lives, I hope you enjoy some of these before and after shots of our apartment!

welcome to simply gray!

My name is Christina, and I am a fun-loving, coffee-obsessed Jersey girl with a desire to share my passions with the world. For a long time, I have wanted an outlet where I can write about the things I love most in life, but it took some inspiration from my boyfriend, family and friends to encourage me to create simply gray.

The name for simply gray was inspired by my favorite book, To Kill A Mockingbird. One theme that always stood out to me is that not everything in this world is black and white; there is gray in between that cannot be forgotten or ignored. The purpose of this blog is to be that gray in between the rigidity and structure of life. If anything, I hope readers are reminded that life can be hectic, but if you take some time out to enjoy the little things, it makes the bigger picture so much better.
