Furniture Shopping

I’ve been spending every waking moment thinking about this house. Which is pretty obvious from the state of my blog. And since the loan stuff is just stressful, most of that thinking is about the interior design.

I haven’t quite picked out paint colors yet. I have ideas, but nothing final, and it might stay that way until we move in. Although our inspection is scheduled for this Saturday, so once I get in there with my camera, I might not be able to find the patience necessary to do the whole “paint a swatch and view it in different lights, blah blah blah right way schmight way” thing.

I have, however, already picked out nearly every stitch of furniture. Allow me to take you on a tour.

When you come in the front door you’ll see on your left the perfect spot to put your keys and cellphone:

My studio will be off to your right, but that’s going to be full of thrifted stuff, so no pictures.

Come on in and have a seat on the couch:

Or a chair if you prefer:

Set your drink down on the set of three nesting tables that Macy’s won’t show on their website and I forgot to take a picture of.

You’re just in time for dinner, come sit down at my table:

(Side note: this picture does nothing for this table. It’s breathtaking. Super high gloss with an inlay pattern…I just about cried when I saw it)

In my beautiful chairs:

To formal for you? Why don’t we gather round the breakfast nook?

Notice the pub height and banquette seating.

Then let’s crash on the huge sectional and watch a movie:

When it’s time for bed, this is where I’ll be heading:

(Sorry this picture sucks so bad, I was not going for glamourshots here. This is a great leather platform bed. See it?)

And here’s where I’ll be keeping my socks and underwear:

Notice the mirror, would you?

I am still looking for a few things here and there. I abhor the matchy match, so I’m looking for cool accent chairs, nightstands, a sideboard, and maybe a highboy. I’m hoping that Craigslist and thrift stores can help me out so that my house looks cool and compiled instead of showroom. Plus, that will get me out of this job a whole lot sooner.
