finally moving forward again at home...

dave and i have been stuck in neutral in our apartment decoration... we still need to do so many things. paint, get chairs recovered, get new chairs for the dining table, get a new area rug, get a bookcase, etc. aaacckkk!! too much. and we weren't doing any of it.

yesterday, we had to go to fortunoff to spend a gift card that we had received for our wedding. it was quite a generous amount, and we would have lost it in a couple of weeks (it expires in 2 years). we were hoping to find a coffee table, but no such luck. so, onto the lighting department we went.

and we found some great pieces!!! we got a great chandelier for the bedroom, along with a gorgeous chrome-finish table lamp (on sale from $150 to $50!!). and then we found a tall buffet-height table lamp for the dining space for $40. oh, the joy! the ecstasy!!!


now we have more of a direction for the bedroom. along with our white shag rug, we're doing b&w bedding in a bold print to go with the black shades on the chandelier. we'll offset this with the beautiful pillows made for my by my friend loren in a teal/gold fabric. then we're thinking of a warm grey paint color and possibly gold sheer curtains. sigh... so sophisticated!

I really like them all - the only one I'm not crazy about is the last one. Love the B&W though, it's totally growing on me!
