This post
had to start with a photo! We needed it! Progress, real progress! We have a
roof and the windows are there ready to be installed including the beautiful
French door for the back of the house. What a treat to behold. When I do the
math I realize that in three short months from today I could be at home! Wow
what a concept it boggles the mind.
Now what we
have to go into the house makes a difference too. At this point there are 4
beds to go into the house but only two of them have mattresses. We need to get
one more bed. My mom is on the fence and all over the charts about her bed. She
wants a bed with drawers but she is short and well frankly most beds with
drawers are high Captain’s beds. So the hunt goes on.
But, the big
news in the furniture department is that I have finally purchased our living
room and family room furniture. Not the side tables or accessories but the main
pieces. For our living room we picked out a loves seat, a sofa and an easy
chair with a matching ottoman. For the family room we bought a sofa, two easy
chairs that match and a matching ottoman.
Now, I had
held off on going to Scandinavian Designs because I mistakenly believed that
they were much more expensive than they are. The best part? The furniture is
made right here in California. We ordered it yesterday and they are making it
to the specifics that we picked. I love color people so I picked out some
really interesting colors you might not expect. But, then again if you know me
you know to expect almost anything from me.
Are you
ready for my color palette? There is Gecko, Aubergine, Mocha, and Dazzle in my
palette. That is the sofas, loveseat, chairs and ottoman. I could be a brat and
leave it at that, I honestly was going to do that. But I am better than that.
Or am I? J I am going to post pictures of the fabric swatches when I
transfer this.
Gecko
Aubergine
Those are the living room colors.
Dazzle
Mocha
Our family room colors.
Now the mean part. :) I am not sharing what pieces are what color.
The kids all
picked out their beds. I am pleased to have that part over with. They are like
their mom and picky. There was also some exciting furniture bought! And new
furniture decided on to order. First what is to be ordered, Loren is in one of
the large bedrooms upstairs because he shares his room with the dogs crates. I
got to thinking that he might enjoy having a Futon as well as his bed in his
room. The girls got chairs for their rooms. But, the best purchase of the day
was in fact my evil queen throne. I can just see Maleficent sitting in it.
My throne
Kody's chair for her room.
I don't have a picture of Kacy's right now but trust me when I tell you is will fit into her haunted mansion room. Obviously my child. I am going to have a Disney Villain bathroom.

It doesn't seem so daunting to me anymore at least not the furniture side. I had nightmares that moving day would come and we would have nothing. But, now we do.
So exciting to see the roof going up somewhat and see door sitting there waiting to be installed.
ReplyDeleteLove the colors your chose. All compliment each other so well
Love Your chair and Kody's as well!!
So glad it is all coming together so nicely
Thank you!
ReplyDeleteIt was a lot of fun going through the big "binder" of colors, textiles and prints. Much more fun to pick out than furniture that is already covered. Thank you. I need to take a picture of Kacy's chair with it's Haunted Mansion pillows. It is in Scotty's and my bedroom.
