The First Post

I recently got very into reading design blogs which made me realize how unhappy I was with how my house looked.  When I moved in, my mom picked out most of my furniture or it came with me from my parents' house.  I didn't really mind too much at the time because I was starting a new job and didn't have time to shop  Six years and one boyfriend who has moved in later, I am ready to turn the house into a place that I LOVE!  So, without further ado, THE PLAN:

Living Room Inspirations:

We just bought a new(to us) couch of off craigslist for $200.  It's ivory colored and the fabric is a very loose weave.  It's not exactly what I wanted but we are working on a budget of almost nothing.  The previous couch was an uncomfortable floral monstrosity that was too small for more than two people.  The rug we have right now is small, pale green, and dirty.  I want to put down a sisal or jute rug instead.  Picture of the current space will be posted soon. 

Bedroom:
The only thing I am sure of right now is that I want to do a white and blue/turquoise color palette and that the current rug has to go.  It was pink once upon a time and now it's...not.  I don't have any inspiration photos right now because they're sitting in a file folder waiting to be scanned.  The first project in the bedroom will be to clean, purge, and organize!

That's all for now but more pictures(and update) will come soon!
