Room #1 - The bedroom

When we bought our house, the room I was the least excited about decorating was the bedroom. While I had my linens picked out, and E and I bought new furniture before our wedding, the odd shape of the room had made it hard to decorate. My FIL, who is fabulous professional painter, came up with a great silver blue to paint our walls with, and we did an acent wall with silver stripes. If you notice in the pictures, our sleigh bed has chrome slats, so it works well.

Right now we have the bed in the corner of the room because of its odd shape but I like it.

You can see the pretty blue color and how it accents the dark furniture. Here is a good shot of the stripes:

Also in the room we have custom blinds to match the paint color and the bedding we have now isnt going to be for much longer, we are going to go with This set from Restoration Hardware:

Which leads me to my current issue.....how would you decorate and accessories the room, some faux flower, or maybe some mirrors? Im not to sure as decorating my house is not my strong suit. Please post any ideas that you may have, or if you see any cute bedding, that might go with it.

Next up: The dining room.

Home Sweet Home

We've moved! It has been the one of the biggest reality checks Ive had in my 26 years! Once we closed I had big ideas for our home. Almost ideas of pure imaginiation if you will. Once we moved in, the first week of July, things started to happen. We've discovered that our shower didn't work. How did that happen? Well, we had originally planned to do a complete bathroom renovation when we moved it in, but FIL took a last minute trip to you Europe, and we had to to wait until he came back to do anything big. So we put it off. And our first night in I wanted to take a shower only to find out the there was no hot water coming out.

WTF.

Well, you can get a plumber to come out on the 4th of July. Just sayin.

That being said, I'm so happy to be home. I'm ready to attack all projects big and small. Most importantly I'm so ready to make memories in these walls to last a lifetime.

So HGTV are you out there? I have a new idea for a show. Forget Property Virgins, how about the true story of a young couple, working full time, one pursuing an MBA, the other getting her BS in HR with little free time, a modest yet flexible budget, modern chic tastes and what happens after you get the keys. One room at a time.
While looking for houses, we could build. we had a ton of options. We put in other offers and Im so glad the others didn't work out, because this is home. I cant explain it - it just is. For now.

I cant wait to see you here! The champagne is chilled and we are ready to celebrate!
