Favorite project of the year so far:
- Decorating our apt. and finding new furniture
Decorating can be tough on a budget so I usually find a couple of splurges that I absolutely love and think I can't live without then find patience to wait on other items to find good deals. Sometimes it drives me nuts leaving things unfinished in the apt. but then again I know if I buy something on impulse I'll end up not liking it later...and that's why I don't have any pictures up in the family room yet. I'm waiting to find just the right frames and find a picture wall arrangement that I like.
Most recent purchase was a rug from Pottery Barn on KSL. I waited for about 5 months to come across the one I wanted and of course it was a fraction of the price from what you'd buy retail at PB. It was in mint condition and a cute couple had only owned it for a couple of years and then moved and it didn't match their new color scheme. Little treasures found on KSL can be worth the wait.
Here are some pics of the humble abode. I have added some things since I've taken these pics...it's still a work in progress, but here's a little tour. Spare bedroom has officially turned into a dump everything and anything into this room so no pics of that. It's my next project to attack!
