Furnishings

As I get older, I find myself liking brighter colors. I don't feel the need to "play it safe" and go with neutrals like I always have. So, if for some reason I can come up with an extra $550 (not likely), I am sooooo buying this!

I might have James to contend with since this is so bright, but I think this is an argument I could win. Would you like a new longer ladder, honey? Or another power tool to add to the million you already have? Done! Now if I only had the money. *sigh*

I think I need a rug to go under the dining room table we're ordering. Do you always put a rug under something for a hard wood floor? I know you can put those padded things under the table legs, but is it better to have a rug? If so, I LOVE these:

These are from Pottery Barn, which is a bit pricey, so it's more likely I'll be choosing from the best of what Target has to offer. That's ok though because they have some pretty ones too, they just probably won't have the same life span. Oh well. Gotta cut corners somewhere.

I'm so worried about being able to fill this house with furniture and pretty things. I know it'll take time and money. I think my pregnancy nesting instincts are making me want to finish everything ASAP, and that just won't be possible. Besides, I want to shop around for the right things, I just know once Baby Boy comes, I won't have the time to browse around Pier 1.
