In two weeks Sven and I will be closing on our house and I'm SO excited. I cannot wait to have our own space, a yard and a driveway (no more parking tickets or smashed in windows!). Another huge plus is that I won't have to move out in a year considering I have moved every year for the past six years. Even though I'm not looking forward to having to pack I have to keep reminding myself that this will be the last time for a long while. Thank goodness! So my plan this weekend while Sven works is to pack. I have lots of stuff to organize, throw away and pack up.
In the meantime I have been surfing the Internet daily to find decorating ideas. I know I haven't even moved yet, but I'm so excited to finally be able to paint the walls. No more mardi gras walls, which is what we're currently living with. I know for sure that I want to paint our living room blue. Specifically this blue...

Then while browsing the Internet I came across the above rug in someone else's family/living room and LOVED it. They said they got it from Overstock. Immediately I went and searched their site but was unable to locate it since they have about 10,000 rugs. The other day I happened to be looking at their rugs again when I found it. I was so excited but nervous because they only had ONE left. I quickly called my sister to ask for her advice and within a matter of minutes I ordered it. That is the only 'decoration' purchase I've made so far and I'm planning to not make anymore until we move. I just couldn't help it, they only had one left and it is going to look great in my blue living room. Can you really blame me??
I love the rug and the wall color. How exciting to get to paint. Yeah!!
ReplyDeleteI like the wall color. I think it will look good with the rug. You might want to wait to get the rug and put a paint chip next to it to be sure. We all know how tricky computer colors can be compared to the real deal.
