ok so to update you...
We got the house (after a few hiccups) and have been over there a few times walking around in shock that we actually own another house!
What were we thinking? We are not wealthy people.
mrseagull decided to move our gigantic sectional over to the new house after telling me I could design it any way I like. Well so much for my clean modern classic design and sleek furniture. Lol. So now in the main living room there is this HUGE sectional sofa. And I mean huge. It changes the whole look of things. We bought an area rug, a low profile TV stand and a glass coffee table with sort of a retro looking base. I still have a couple rooms to figure out. I need lamps and art work. I'm still going to design my study and am looking for a cool desk and a comfortable fabric arm chair.
Rugs are a dilemma. I don't know if I should go modern or get classic oriental rugs. I don't like covering up too much of the hardwood floors but my dog is a maniac. He is 100 lbs of rambunctious clown and likes to race around the house as if he is chasing a squirrel. I need to put something down to protect the floors or I will be pissed off at him.
Turns out I would rather decorate the new place then pack up boxes and clean out my old house. Go figure.
