New stuff for the house!
We're pretty much done buying and picking out everything for the house. Yesterday, we ordered Olivia's dresser, picked paint colors, and bought an area rug. Earlier in the week, I bought Olivia a lamp, bed, shelves, toy box, mattress, and some new throw pillows for the couch. I know I'll think of more stuff I need though. :-) I've been taking advantage of sales when I can, and I've gotten some really great deals.
Here's the rug we bought yesterday for the dining room. I had been googling more traditional looking rugs, but when we went to look yesterday, James really liked this one. I was worried it's too modern (the pattern is "gravity seashore"), but when I pictured it with our furniture and tried to imagine us sitting at the table with friends over, I found that I liked it too. :-) I also have to add that we got an awesome deal on it. When I searched for a picture on the internet, it was $369 everywhere I looked. We got it on sale for $149 at a local store! WOO-HOOOO!
For Olivia's room, we're painting it a VERY pale pink, almost whitish-pink, and she has a white dresser, and white-rimmed mirror for her wall, and then a pink and white toddler bed which she will hopefully actually be sleeping in. There's a canopy that goes with the bed with Disney Princesses on it, and it matches the other furniture. I was going to go with Hello Kitty, but Olivia said she wanted "Sleeping Booty" so there you go. :-)
Here's the set. It's VERY pink, which is why we toned down everything else in the room.
This is the bedding we chose to go with it, but is a lighter pink than it seems in this picture:
I'm a girl who likes to play it safe, so we never had any colorful walls in our old house. Everything was an almond color, so this time, we actually chose some colors. I know I've pulled James out of his comfort zone, but luckily my sister was there to reassure him (and me) that our house will look better with color! Olivia's room will be a pale pink, Baby Boy's room will be light yellow, our room will be a very pale blue, and the office, living room, kitchen and dining room will be a tan color, which is supposedly very popular right now. With the white chair rail in the dining room, I think the colors will look really nice together. I wanted to do even more color variations, but since James likes more neutral, our decision was a compromise.
BTW, don't know if I mentioned it, but the people are moving out earlier than they originally said. In fact, they are supposed to be out today, but we don't close until Wednesday. They were going to initially stay until a week from today, so we'll have more time to paint and maybe even get new carpet (we're considering it), and we'll still move in on the 22nd as planned.
I'm actually feeling sad about leaving my parents' house. I feel almost like a kid again, but I'll blog about that later.
Posted by Hannah at March 9, 2008 07:19 PMThe "Sleeping Booty" thing just cracks me up! Olivia is such a cutie.
Your house is going to look great. I love the rug. I can't wait to see more pictures.
I *love* the rug! It's modern, but with the muted understated colours and ergonomic shapes it will go with a lot of different styles of furniture, great choice! I also love OB's bedroom set - so, so cute! Every little girl needs a pink bedroom at some point in life :) I can just imagine hanging some ballet pointe shoes on the wall :) It's also great they're moving out sooner - will you be able to get in to paint and do stuff without incurring any occupational penalties? Not sure if you have those there, but they're really strict about that kind of thing here.
What does OB say about the new stuff?? The Bubby absolutely buzzed when we showed him his new 'big boy bed Superman linen', which I think really helped when he slept in his big bed for the first time. He kept trying it out during the day, it was really cute. I'm sure she'll take to her new stuff really quickly!
Posted by: Rainbowfudge at March 10, 2008 02:26 AMI like your rug! I can see it going really nicely with not just the colors in it, but also dark brown, deep red, and burnt orange.
Posted by: shokufeh at March 10, 2008 10:27 AMOoh I am so excited for y'all!! Painting is SUCH a great way to express your individuality, and the best part is, you can paint over it later on and change it up :) Our old house was painted a lot of rich tans, browns, and the kitchen was red. We loved the homey feel and got a ton of compliments on it... so I'm sure you will get the same reaction! Olivia's room will be a princess room every little girl dreams of! xoxo

Posted by: Lisanne at March 10, 2008 02:56 PMi think the rug choice is fabulous. you don't need to stick to one style :) and Olivia's "Sleeping Booty" is definitely a keeper of a story!
