Well, Lee to answer your question, negotiations are done and we're now doing the fun stuff-home inspection, survey, blah blah. You know. So far everything has gone well. By everything I mean the bank stuff. :) We're not too far along in the process and you never know how these things will go. I'm trying not to get too excited, which means I've only bought one piece of furniture so far. Haha...I'm way to over-zealous for my own good. It was so pretty though, and would just fit perfectly in the entry hall. Darn you, pottery barn!!
And in my attempts not to get too excited I've been pouring through magazines, websites, just anything for home decorating inspiration. I always thought it would be easy decorating my own house. Turns out, I'm alot more indecisive than I would care to admit. I keep thinking, "but what if I get tired of it". So since I haven't posted any pictures in a while, I thought I'd give you a couple of my musings so far.
Ok so paint for the den/entry hall/hallways/possibly dining room:
I unfortunately have to take into account the massive fireplace in the den (which is beautiful) which Aaron doesn't want to paint white. I'll work with it.
Cannot, for the life of me, find a bedspread I like. I want something like this but I have no idea where it came from. :(
I like these dining room tables. I like the contrast of the really simple, modern/rustic table mixed with the more classical/antiquey chairs in the first picture. And I like that the dining room table and buffet/china cabinet don't match in the second. But they still fit well together.
Anyway, that's about all I've got for now. I have lots more pictures. Maybe another time :)
Thoughts?
Oh, and I do believe I'm going to make my own curtains. Any favorite fabric stores out there?

I hear ya!! I have never deliberated so much about decorating. By the time C came, I didn't even notice my walls. I was a little pre-occupied. So it has taken FOREVER! I mean hear we are just now finally seeing our wood blinds and I've just now handed over fabric to the lady to make my Roman shades. Make your own curtains? You rock. Yes, I have mulled over drapes, roman shades, plantation shutters, blah blah. And I have made one or two bad decisions that I'm still waiting to undo. Furniture and rugs are (in my opinion) investments. My philosophy has been to remember that you WILL get what you pay for. I'm sure you will do GREAT though. I love broom corn fabrics. Calico Corners is great, too, but sometimes a little more traditional overall. Ballard Designs has some great stuff. And Restoration Hardware, of course. Might want to wait for a sale though. We'll be praying!
