Couch and Pillows

So tonight I made my first ever major furniture purchase... major as in the only things I have ever bought are two nightstands. So you can see how picking out couches has been a long process for me (probably even longer for Jason who had to put up with me). I got 3 pieces (that's right 3!!) The first one is just a normal sofa. The second is a part of a sectional without an end piece/arm. The third part is the chaise lounge that will slide right up to the sectional piece. The absolute best part was I got to pick every detail, cushion type, leg type, pillow types, arm types, and even the accent pillow fabric. So we get 4 pillows... 2 that are the chocolate brown microfiber/suedey fabric we picked out and 2 that are this fun funky swirly pattern... with a bird (who perfectly matches the chocolate). Something about it just caught my eye. And who knows maybe I'll use those 2 pillows in a different room!!

For Your Viewing Pleasure....

What a weekend!!!

It has been a whirlwind weekend for us... the best news of all though is.... I finally own a house!!!We've been under a ton of stress for the last 2 weeks dealing with multiple mortgage issues, doing 2 different "walks" on the house to make sure things were done properly, working an insane amount of overtime and oncall to make sure everything would be ok for settlement... the list goes on and on. But it was all worth it when at 745 pm on Friday 12/21 I got the keys!! I have tons of pictures to get online for all of you to see.. but for now this is the front of our brand new house.

House Update # 2 or 3

We went and saw the house today!! It's looking rather awesome if I do say so myself!! And while I'm dying for all of you to see it.. I think I'll only post one pic and save the rest for the house warming party I will eventually have. The finish touches are all going on and in 13 days we are supposed to have settlement.. so until then you will all just have to deal with this shot that Jason took the day after it snowed.

Window Shopping...

Last night I got to wander around the mall for an hour and 1/2 waiting to talk to an Apple Genius about my iphone... but I digress... so I found some inspiring things in Pottery Barn and then came home tonight and found even more...

Love Love Love Love these pillows in both green and red!

Cute Polka Dots!!

And this is the bed I have been drooling over for at least a year or two

Ceiling Fan

One night Jason and I were watching some design show on HGTV and we fell in love with this ceiling fan that is based off the old style table top fans. It would be perfect in our study :)

New House

Jason and I went and saw the house yesterday and so much has gotten done in the last week it's incredible!! They painted, put up the crown molding and baseboard, installed the hardwood floor in the foyer and the flooring in the kitchen, powder room, and guest room, tiled the master bath, installed all of the cabinets, and we have the 1st layer of our driveway! Here are some pics..

Check out the driveway...
