new furniture.

like i said yesterday, i've been going a little bananas this past weekend getting the house ready. last night i picked up 2 more things - hollywood regency X benches to replace the blue coffee table and a little baby bassinet for little baby.

we put the bassinet next to the bed, and when i went to bed that night, i just kept looking over at it. looking down at my belly. feeling baby kick. making the connection that in just a few short months, baby would be laying in that sweet little bassinet, kicking it's cute little legs. (minor panic attack! breathe...breathe...) it seems like it's all happening so fast lately.

craigslist is a joke.

so i really really would like to get a couch from craigslist. since i messed up so bad with the last couch purchase, i'm pretty sure TH would flip out if i suggested buying another new couch. i am so indecisive when it comes to things to sit on.

anyway, this is my take on what's available in DC craigslist sofaworld.

1. Gold Velvet Couch $300
2. Blue Leather Chesterfield Couch $100

Even after I've posted all of these, they all look ugly to me. I am cursed with couch hatred. It is truly awful.
ok, give me your opinions, people.

making a house a home.

we are moving in a couple of weeks, and bad news: i totally forget what our new apartment looks like. haha. we liked it so much, i didn't even bother to take any pictures to analyze later, whether i really liked it or not. also, i feel incredibly lucky that it became available when it did, because i've been looking at what's available lately (you know, just to make sure we got a good deal), and nothing is coming up! we probably would have left capitol hill for another neighborhood with available apartments - pickins are pretty slim right now.

anyway, i'm pretty excited to move and tackle the home design project again. even though the dimensions and colors of the house have completely escaped my mind, i do remember the snooze details: off-white walls, beige carpet, and an ugly chandelier in the dining area. some real renter humdingers. i've been saving some pictures in my home inspiration folder, so i can have some sort of idea what to do when we move into the beige palace. my big ideas focus around one thing: COLOR.



do you know of some good sources for home design inspiration? these are from all over the place, but mostly from lonny, domino, and living etc.
