Looking at pictures of our soon to be home, the designer in me can't help but planning out where things will be going, how I'm going to decorate, and wishing for new items to make our place more cozy.
While I know furniture is out of the question at this point, I can't help but wish for a nice sectional to provide more seating in the living room. I'd like something in a neutral beige with exposed modern dark square legs. With a sofa being an expensive purchase getting it in a neutral color provides a canvas to update it with new pillows, etc. to provide a new spin to it on occasion and keep it for a long while.
Another furniture item I'd like is a tall bistro/cafe' table for two to go in our breakfast nook that just isn't quite big enough for our breakast/dining table. That breakfast/dining table could use some sanding a fresh coat of paint to make the perfect backdrop in our dining room.
And, we could use a nice dresser for our bedroom because our closet space will be lacking in the new home. But, that will definitely have to hold off for a few years until we're able to buy an entire bedroom suit so that it all matches :)
For now, I'm wishing for drapes and rods for the rooms. Right now I have some worn down green tab drapes from college and black out brown drapes that don't have much shape. Those two pairs of drapes could use some updating from the Better Homes and Gardens Collection at WalMart. If you haven't seen that collection at WalMart, don't knock it until you look because it has some really cute stuff! Better Homes and Gardens also has great oversized wall clocks that I'd love to get to hang in our living room since it has such great vaulted ceilings!
Maybe once I get down to Savannah I'll splurge on getting drapes and rods for the rooms since I have a feeling we'll be staying in this house for our entire time in Savannah unless something drastic happens. I've been wanting drapes for all our rooms here in Carrollton and just haven't ever gotten around to buying them. I might throw in some bath mats and a shower curtain for the master to match the new comforter set we got several months back :)
SCAD Interior Design major here I come! If I get the job at SCAD next week I'm hoping to be able to start taking classes toward that degree because, as you can tell, my mind always wanders to decorating and design.
