The time has come.
The boxes are put away, we are settling in to our new home and it's time to decorate.
Except, I have NO idea where to start.
I have been in and out of Home Goods, Target, Hobby Lobby and done my fair share of web browsing and CANNOT decide what to do in my home.
The only thing I've bought are curtains for the dinning room, which I love but there are 5 areas of the house I NEED to focus on.
Living Room:
Walls - There are 2 HUGE walls that I just don't know what to do with.
The couch isn't centered on either wall, because it's a corner couch, so I think that's throwing me off.
Coffee Table - I am looking for a square, low to the ground with rounded edges coffee table but I don't know what color to go with. Our couches are a dark brown with a hint of burgundy.
TV wall - The TV is tucked in a corner. We originally thought about mounting the TV to the wall but then were worried about cords etc.
However Hunter has started pulling himself up on the stand and we are afraid he is going to pull the TV over.
We would also like to "hide" all of the consoles and DVDs.
Suggestions?
Entry Way:
I am definitely thinking a collage wall with a few photos, a mirror, some quotes framed and maybe a giant initial.
I also want to put a table with a lamp and maybe some flowers.
What do you think?
Stairwell:
There is a huge open wall going up the stairs.
I originally had no plans for the wall since I am going to be decorating the wall under the stairs, but a friend who came by suggested that I put photos along the wall.
Hmmm. I don't know.
And the ledge? I don't know what to do with at all?
Flowers? Photos? Another Mirror? Help!!
(I couldn't find ANY photos of ideas for the ledge under the stairwell window)
Dining Room:
My biggest focus for the dining room is a rug.
I bought a rug at Ross that was priced really well and I loved it but once I got it home it just was NOT the one.
Where do I find a good rug?
I would eventually also like to get a bench for one side of the table and two upholstered chairs for the heads of the table.
All in time!
Mud Room:
It's really just a small hallway by the garage that leads to the half bathroom and laundry room.
I would love some hooks for coats and some baskets for shoes
(since we are going to be a NO SHOES house)
and maybe a few "important papers" containers, a calendar, and a cork board?
There are LOTS of cute ideas out there so I just gotta find whats right for me!
These rooms are definitely my main focus right now.
I still have the laundry room, master, two spare bedrooms, and basement.
Is it normal for me to be feeling this overwhelmed with trying to make my home pretty?
Aw.
Where is my money tree!?
I am really excited for garage sale season to be right ahead of us!
I always love finding a one of a kind piece for a great price.
I'd love to hear suggestions or see photos of ideas or things you've done?
Where are places you found things for you home?
