It is one of the large, front, formal living rooms. Now if a client needs to meet me here, they can come in the front door or the porte cochere side door. They won't have to walk through the entire house like my last one.<br /><br />The bad thing about this is, my office is one of the first rooms seen when entering our house. I have kind of been ignoring it until now. This is the only room that still has unpacked boxes. Yikes!! My newest design dilemma is how to make my home office look more like a formal living space. When I say formal, I don't really mean formal....maybe "stylish living space?"<br /><br />This is my old office below. Loved it. Fun, bright, and functional.<br /><br /><br /><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiblw6Qis1_1CfLKc_zK2ao0gxOZ3FxsKfvc1hz93_-0rhP-AAKCVlU8kubrN4GwoJXkNRDv-NXd88gNjNlWwAZgQ_gAvrgOTtoyjUId9euYjqR09x4Nm6m-LpaydUEKhKZ9WQZsp_3GpH6/s1600/013.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 265px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5520264379542012386" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiblw6Qis1_1CfLKc_zK2ao0gxOZ3FxsKfvc1hz93_-0rhP-AAKCVlU8kubrN4GwoJXkNRDv-NXd88gNjNlWwAZgQ_gAvrgOTtoyjUId9euYjqR09x4Nm6m-LpaydUEKhKZ9WQZsp_3GpH6/s400/013.JPG" /></a> It is a bad picture, but the large white desk isn't working for me now.

With our old house sold, we have finally had a chance to relax and enjoy the new place. For a few minutes here and there.<br /><br />This past weekend we had our first house guests. Everything went great, and we can't wait to have more! Since the upstairs was clean, and decently organized, I thought I would show a bedroom.<br /><br />I call this guest bedroom 1. It's upstairs in the original, front part of the house. We think the house was built around 1850, and at that time would have only had 2 bedrooms upstairs.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlTd0YbyHeW3XOG3W_dH_h4zyaMQYbF6MB_9Nnb4KeILfED0KVVKoxtTFbneL-g8GDMGprATYyhd3eoXZ9qesjrvARcITEuZTuTjmMWvnSoaQHUuZGHRlFHjmjBmMrgc_uuUabuheWJ7HJ/s1600/008.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 265px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519339391159079986" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlTd0YbyHeW3XOG3W_dH_h4zyaMQYbF6MB_9Nnb4KeILfED0KVVKoxtTFbneL-g8GDMGprATYyhd3eoXZ9qesjrvARcITEuZTuTjmMWvnSoaQHUuZGHRlFHjmjBmMrgc_uuUabuheWJ7HJ/s400/008.JPG" /></a> This room has lots of character with the sloping ceilings, and fireplace.

We had the previous seller leave the carpet since it was cut for the room. For the record I would like to state that the upstairs is going to be the last domain when it comes to redecorating. If I didn't start showing you pictures as is, you might never see them!<br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhT_z3e3WU10JJPpy0RfjViJWzh7ZrvzGUi7TFa_pjS6SeLRSfvJEoxH2QwM9avDCKaouQicyjy1-hoCSE-HKV1PSL4vgSQ0ANdNI331roJ4p8kDegfNC2M4oVD4Y5h9XUbSecnBC9nmZCu/s1600/006.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 265px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519339374934244402" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhT_z3e3WU10JJPpy0RfjViJWzh7ZrvzGUi7TFa_pjS6SeLRSfvJEoxH2QwM9avDCKaouQicyjy1-hoCSE-HKV1PSL4vgSQ0ANdNI331roJ4p8kDegfNC2M4oVD4Y5h9XUbSecnBC9nmZCu/s400/006.JPG" /></a> The curtains were also already here. I took down a floral valance, and left the panels. They are a small stripe. This house was full of traversing {sp} curtain rods. I am becoming a huge fan of these! It's so easy to open and close the curtains! This house isn't full of blinds, so the curtains were functional. I do not intend to put up blinds either. Since we are pretty private up here, I like having the windows open for light and the view.</div><div> </div><div>So, we already had all the furniture that is in this room. The only purchase was the $9 pillow from American Mills. It has a bird to tie in with the bird tiles on the fireplace. That's all for now. I again apologize for the slow posting. I am working on revamping the blog as far as look and design. We also have a new business idea in the pipeline. I promise to post details when I am a little further in!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div>Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08070855776622435462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4723468040831409681.post-29225180473438831572010-09-09T21:28:00.001-04:002010-09-09T21:29:28.600-04:00first project-complete!Get ready to be amazed!<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjB4SWDfy65r_V17GAaVK8G1npVh0N0t6UEpFUpXEqWyjsxIDgw6ZOmcfMIsKHhvqizPLq8G3fcTQ3w8M57BPAdgoEbSBdWeTfY29yrIl21XJJqAGHwaLLavYjaRVTDoknYx6rIgFYJrTF/s1600/IMAG0387.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 268px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5514896073312320802" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjB4SWDfy65r_V17GAaVK8G1npVh0N0t6UEpFUpXEqWyjsxIDgw6ZOmcfMIsKHhvqizPLq8G3fcTQ3w8M57BPAdgoEbSBdWeTfY29yrIl21XJJqAGHwaLLavYjaRVTDoknYx6rIgFYJrTF/s400/IMAG0387.jpg" /></a> Well, not really.

I had tons of space! Now, we have a small closet off of the kitchen.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4P9s_lgx6ZQCFrQsafdSk1bg52OKRoJKuwtIu7PDdAz2HcoNycot5dHTx6jNBUd3BS9yKDllIFvyRs7wUyqDMPCGoEwJuwK6Pjc3-tFY3B33p_CwoYkcWMYvEjHU4gx085RCM3eYBLEWY/s1600/IMAG0385.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 268px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5514896037324796146" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4P9s_lgx6ZQCFrQsafdSk1bg52OKRoJKuwtIu7PDdAz2HcoNycot5dHTx6jNBUd3BS9yKDllIFvyRs7wUyqDMPCGoEwJuwK6Pjc3-tFY3B33p_CwoYkcWMYvEjHU4gx085RCM3eYBLEWY/s400/IMAG0385.jpg" /></a> I hate to complain since it's in a convenient locale. The new laundry closet also has some cabinets. I decided to remove the cab doors. This should allow easier access to everything. I decided in the process to throw a coat of paint on everything. I used bright white paint we already had, the <a href="http://realestatestyle.blogspot.com/2010/01/first-project-of-year.html">olive color </a>on our old interior doors, and Ben Moore's <a href="http://realestatestyle.blogspot.com/2010/07/our-cottage-master-bedrom-bath.html">Palladian Blue </a>{half formula} from our old master bedroom.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtFCtFTG2wI6ee3NezYor_zR0xj7iHu67DcqpycCGJrIFZM1NPNQpRNVZC5obNI6aLKUEJa2a3iQZWIdARNmI2rV8ID6_jYGoLaR7v_BQP5iHXc27JZPHHJsFfyLSBo5qp9zLMH1FdBQ7q/s1600/075.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 265px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5514893811101909058" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtFCtFTG2wI6ee3NezYor_zR0xj7iHu67DcqpycCGJrIFZM1NPNQpRNVZC5obNI6aLKUEJa2a3iQZWIdARNmI2rV8ID6_jYGoLaR7v_BQP5iHXc27JZPHHJsFfyLSBo5qp9zLMH1FdBQ7q/s400/075.JPG" /></a> If I am going to spend countless hours with my head in this area, why not have a nicer view?<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfTWcjbIvNGOYKfJuMl6O709uXwQUqZ1iqhiRFffHFH8jqLK9ixuFaKbC4zo5O1o7wXi7W37ol_msnsrTau6yhZzlTWwA5AvMEkg0zm6gqj-HEZYGHQrXRq7GGA0jAagCayDhgZezwr0rH/s1600/DSC00608.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5514935253817286850" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfTWcjbIvNGOYKfJuMl6O709uXwQUqZ1iqhiRFffHFH8jqLK9ixuFaKbC4zo5O1o7wXi7W37ol_msnsrTau6yhZzlTWwA5AvMEkg0zm6gqj-HEZYGHQrXRq7GGA0jAagCayDhgZezwr0rH/s400/DSC00608.JPG" /></a> The shelves were painted olive, because I figured they would wear better over time than if they were white.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqg_5X3sUBhTmSxm1-h7NlqHF_OMehnaLDETE7ko_ZpWiX12Hk1CLMXTa6efSZRpWXq0DET4LI5XmFcl6VJg6iXTd4A__nOK4VB1F-RJnFMm1xFaGuobaCI2tL5wxgS3SpAGWmqvLOqx-H/s1600/DSC00610.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5514935269831488898" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqg_5X3sUBhTmSxm1-h7NlqHF_OMehnaLDETE7ko_ZpWiX12Hk1CLMXTa6efSZRpWXq0DET4LI5XmFcl6VJg6iXTd4A__nOK4VB1F-RJnFMm1xFaGuobaCI2tL5wxgS3SpAGWmqvLOqx-H/s400/DSC00610.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZ-23mHpJn-tMo6DznDtod8w7qL1gnhug1dl911EFE3HFVEwUuYKbBCStqG33-LOS6SrPkANcIEJvAf4YVMjaoofDw2wJ1vxbt3kFim7hWRVkExC6rufzhAZjVJ18P0KNLeGXDQA1nhrDb/s1600/DSC00609.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5514935258952934706" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZ-23mHpJn-tMo6DznDtod8w7qL1gnhug1dl911EFE3HFVEwUuYKbBCStqG33-LOS6SrPkANcIEJvAf4YVMjaoofDw2wJ1vxbt3kFim7hWRVkExC6rufzhAZjVJ18P0KNLeGXDQA1nhrDb/s400/DSC00609.JPG" /></a> Now our paper towels and mismatched dog towels are very handy. I also took an idea from my mom. She keeps flower vases in her laundry room cabinets. This freed up some space in the new pantry. That's another project. Needs paint, new shelving, etc. </div><div></div><div>I know this first project isn't that exciting, but I figured if it wasn't done before moving in, that it never would happen!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Totally off topic.

He has great plans for the silo one day. Currently, it's covered with wisteria. Now you see why I'm going to call this our <em>farmhouse</em>. It was in fact, a working farm back in the day.

Maybe it is a generation thing, or maybe it's just the fact that we don't want to spend tons of money on formal dining room furniture!

This is the current 76" sofa in our living room. We bought a shorter sofa to work with our design/furniture arrangement. I have been very happy with it. Great color when you have beige/tan dogs, and the back pillows are easily fluffed back to life after some 30 lb. pups have been sleeping on them!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbZ-KFS-W_sshlFQA7nr01zZtamM0Qf-IwZ6BoqYGkZ1fX81AIrRVGUk8c73R0XfTJV6ZcKMF5kz1SwnrOP3c8OGgMe-fLUpEMfNStoJKchOVaRJMoqk8u9bJWuOR5z6y0KL96kZLCI2Kc/s1600/073+-+Copy.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5504699740628853234" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbZ-KFS-W_sshlFQA7nr01zZtamM0Qf-IwZ6BoqYGkZ1fX81AIrRVGUk8c73R0XfTJV6ZcKMF5kz1SwnrOP3c8OGgMe-fLUpEMfNStoJKchOVaRJMoqk8u9bJWuOR5z6y0KL96kZLCI2Kc/s400/073+-+Copy.JPG" /></a> Another great idea we had when buying this sofa was in the event of a move, it could work in a more formal living space. Well, that's what is happening. This little guy will be living in a formal living room!<br /><br />For the family room in our next house, we are going for style & comfort!! Charles' only request is for it to be long enough for napping. This one below is from <a href="http://www.mgbwhome.com/sofacol_new.asp">Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams. </a>Christine and I saw it in the Atlanta store, and it is impressive! It is 98" long, and super comfy! The showroom model was slipcovered in an awesome linen. However, this extra long, linen, down filled sofa is a tad out of the alloted budget! So I am moving on....<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGRz8tUbQi184DEShQa7S7C3H037SHP9-LPnsfD6fiyyerAsYl13xGucewoojajhQ9MY2sy7nJSOccGHiXgQ3iqteTJBL0Yj8tyF1ElSh6xSmqxdOO3DXEfva1Nfn6oDCIoXk4QNDlTDw5/s1600/nicki_scsofa.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 186px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5504699154629689426" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGRz8tUbQi184DEShQa7S7C3H037SHP9-LPnsfD6fiyyerAsYl13xGucewoojajhQ9MY2sy7nJSOccGHiXgQ3iqteTJBL0Yj8tyF1ElSh6xSmqxdOO3DXEfva1Nfn6oDCIoXk4QNDlTDw5/s400/nicki_scsofa.jpg" /></a> So, I did drag Charles to Atl for some sofa testing. My main concern is the look and style, but I did want his input on the comfort factor. We hit Crate & Barrel-nothing there for us, then Restoration Style-the only sofa I liked online wasn't in the store, then Pottery Barn. We both really loved the <a href="http://www.potterybarn.com/shop/furniture-upholstery/sofas/pb-comfort-square-sofas/?cm_type=lnav">Comfort Square Arm </a>sofa with the box cushions. It definitely passed the comfort test. This sofa is 89" long, and has a very deep seat. We also like the fact that it is slipcovered, and their twill fabrics are machine washable. A very important thing for us with the 2 Whippets. I really do like square arms in general, so this was top of the list for about 2 weeks until.....<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfIfRp-cuyA_EdnJ4AQ9fP5MW_45pvPLCN5dSgy8Wp8XjMrDPS4M_zU34JsW3bmBS3otMe8LFn6NuP4HZtWmVkCyj-3x7rmAyXihatPEGpD11l2PHto4e2mtI-dduBTaWXJDFiwvuDJ_fO/s1600/img20m.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 383px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 344px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5504698725318104802" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfIfRp-cuyA_EdnJ4AQ9fP5MW_45pvPLCN5dSgy8Wp8XjMrDPS4M_zU34JsW3bmBS3otMe8LFn6NuP4HZtWmVkCyj-3x7rmAyXihatPEGpD11l2PHto4e2mtI-dduBTaWXJDFiwvuDJ_fO/s400/img20m.jpg" /></a> I find out that my favorite <a href="http://realestatestyle.blogspot.com/2010/03/great-store-seaside-home.html">store </a>in Saint Simons carries a brand called the <em>Best Slipcover Company. </em>Everything is slipcovered, and the big clincher is the fabrics are all washable and fabulous!!! We're not talking about your basic denims and twills, we're talking awesome linens and printed fabrics that I LOVE!!! Then I remember my favorite designer & blogger,<a href="http://blog.urbangrace.com/"> Erika, </a>has posted about <em>BSC </em>before. This is her sofa below. It's called the <em>Rachel, </em>and I love it. Style-check, washable linen slipcover-check, good review from a real designer-check!<br /></div><br /><div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgk-oWbwsUL8nsZq5F0Pp3hiDrbpbqaPir970YiVXhawGsG_oLzYTubqyMWaHXJHCTS1_e4lo8yD0qTDoTkTdaaBP2xgsY2zQIDpCtGYGiRBS7CQ8-DOXo8FpH2jWzGv342OfKimriLsp0/s1600/6a00e54ef51a88883301053688ce1d970c-450wi.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 282px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5504890347654257474" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgk-oWbwsUL8nsZq5F0Pp3hiDrbpbqaPir970YiVXhawGsG_oLzYTubqyMWaHXJHCTS1_e4lo8yD0qTDoTkTdaaBP2xgsY2zQIDpCtGYGiRBS7CQ8-DOXo8FpH2jWzGv342OfKimriLsp0/s400/6a00e54ef51a88883301053688ce1d970c-450wi.jpg" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8bcgGBBngP-bdLySm5d_TICf-uGrc826_fA-o_E_36uEY25Go8MBgJjbE0E3WB4VFe2_9TiiVeMF8DedIjikAd4PSzf3O2tyPBPhvMbYcr4SQYLw9BQ3p8RbXu5Tn2Gnx7O75qqxwCtxO/s1600/6a00e54ef51a88883301053688ce1d970c-450wi.jpg"></a> Now the only question is, will Rachel be long enough? The website has her coming in at 84" wide. That worried me, but I also see that the arms aren't wide so, I called <em>BSC, </em>and happy day, the inside seat width is the same as the Pottery Barn sofa above!!<br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDCI7kL3_o6fNFMbBRufnojixgnGg4ZddREz4PrmXd60PHF2CYKg0j5csxDaHv2P3Qx8DnBnSgsfxdQKdQ4NrEYyvSY5J3z6hQWbw6nY7OvfAaec6Z50Iu79Ctcd-khemPkhdVVOI5e5i8/s1600/rachel.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 170px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5504698722790394386" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDCI7kL3_o6fNFMbBRufnojixgnGg4ZddREz4PrmXd60PHF2CYKg0j5csxDaHv2P3Qx8DnBnSgsfxdQKdQ4NrEYyvSY5J3z6hQWbw6nY7OvfAaec6Z50Iu79Ctcd-khemPkhdVVOI5e5i8/s400/rachel.jpg" /></a><br /><br />After obsessing over this sofa for a few days, I remembered seeing one similar.<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJctbBl7jtvgwhDLUkdje211200K4HHE-4S1Lw1PUaK3jYoy1W4TDJHGjP2O8BbeVYOMPFmr6YCE0P7uHSJ1hBqTNQki3E93Lt5ddRQa36hpVPHgjvOl2O-L6FmI3e6dRYjC_DPUz-1jJd/s1600/IMAG0071.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 268px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5504698714829614706" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJctbBl7jtvgwhDLUkdje211200K4HHE-4S1Lw1PUaK3jYoy1W4TDJHGjP2O8BbeVYOMPFmr6YCE0P7uHSJ1hBqTNQki3E93Lt5ddRQa36hpVPHgjvOl2O-L6FmI3e6dRYjC_DPUz-1jJd/s400/IMAG0071.jpg" /></a> Same looking sofa, and awesome box pleated skirt. This is from <em>Market on Newcastle </em>in Brunswick, Ga. I loved that store, and I don't think I ever did a post about it. It's crazy that earlier this year, way before the new house/furniture thing was even an idea, I apparently like this style of sofa. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>So now I am just waiting on pricing to see if it's going to be a go....Also like the matching club chairs, but that will be another day.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Have a great weekend!

Charles and I have finally found a new house. I am still not going to share pictures on the blog until it's a done deal! It is very close to our current house. We are very excited, and at the same time, I am a bit overwhelmed when I think of decorating a larger space. Not because it won't be fun, but because the budget will be limited. I look around our house now, and forget there was a time that I didn't love every single thing. I must remember....baby steps. Anyway, the first room in the new house that we will take on is the family room. This will be the only room that is properly done for awhile. :)<br /><br />Needless to say, I have a folder on my computer with images saved specifically for this new house. Today, I wanted to share some family/living room pictures that get me thinking....<br /><br />I remember this room below when it came out in Coastal Living. This really shows that a neutral room can still have a pop, or some pizazz! For our family room, I definitely want a large comfy sofa, and a pair of matching club chairs. {Preferably swivel rockers, we are going all out for comfort!}<br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmuHwovXZ7EoUi31cLJ_Z97ZLkAqS3oav4sEiT3LbQrEFbVQOM4lvk7AjArJGs-3Akl4G9SL9ZpV1lw8M_s6M13SnPDYHVi2OnVDIbO6eV_5c-A5aQO_klNxPdk2XviJciwLCQ5uoQuKcg/s1600/cottagelivingideahouse+newlyweddiaries.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 381px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5502638385426464882" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmuHwovXZ7EoUi31cLJ_Z97ZLkAqS3oav4sEiT3LbQrEFbVQOM4lvk7AjArJGs-3Akl4G9SL9ZpV1lw8M_s6M13SnPDYHVi2OnVDIbO6eV_5c-A5aQO_klNxPdk2XviJciwLCQ5uoQuKcg/s400/cottagelivingideahouse+newlyweddiaries.jpg" /></a> <span style="font-size:78%;color:#cc9933;">coastal living via newlywed diaries blog</span></div><br /><div align="center">Not that I am thinking of painting our family room lavender, but I saved this for two reasons.

But it also has a mix of different chair styles. It was pretty easy for me to get our current living room together. I didn't buy a living room set! Everything is a different style, and came from a different store. I want to create that same feel, but in a larger room I don't want to have too many different elements to clash. This is the main reason for my saved pictures-to figure out what type/style of furniture pieces to get. {Keep in mind we are mixing a lot of stuff we currently own, I am not starting from scratch in this room-thank goodness for our basement!}<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwbLScge9L5_nLCxYwTUZxVtTaMq7YGRNtie3x8SYDNXaw_Q1nuZ1jCPczz9j-Cf7Uf6DPimM0X2ebtxQXIYl2tVW_nEeAwYXa5cITD3IqAfqtX9GGnkO7_w8mZ2MP1QdJmWh_oYop5cg4/s1600/COLOURMEHAPPY.png"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 310px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5502638363620238098" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwbLScge9L5_nLCxYwTUZxVtTaMq7YGRNtie3x8SYDNXaw_Q1nuZ1jCPczz9j-Cf7Uf6DPimM0X2ebtxQXIYl2tVW_nEeAwYXa5cITD3IqAfqtX9GGnkO7_w8mZ2MP1QdJmWh_oYop5cg4/s400/COLOURMEHAPPY.png" /></a><span style="color:#999999;"><span style="font-size:78%;">via Colour me Happy blog</span><br /></span><br />This room was featured recently in Coastal Living. It has a lot of elements I really like. Neutral walls, slight coastal theme, french doors, comfortable furniture that blends together well. The coffee table is very similar in size to one we have in the basement. Ours is also painted off white, but is a mix of wicker and bamboo. I love the fact that I can use it again. It really is a large square. And, it's painted so I can change the color as many times as I want! I also like the painted chair in the bottom left corner of the picture. I still have my 2 <a href="http://realestatestyle.blogspot.com/2010/03/oh-how-i-love-to-paint.html">black rattan chairs, </a>that I still desperately want to paint! At least now I can justify waiting to see where they end up.

Now that the Comer Jones Cottage is complete with it's coastal aquas and greens, I plan to continue that theme in a new house as much as possible. {Mainly to keep using what we already have!} Another reason I tried to keep our house somewhat of a continuous theme is the size. I think for a small house, it's nice for it to flow, and not have rooms that are completely different. Maybe if we end up in a larger house, I can change it up a bit.<br /><div> </div></div></div></div></div>Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08070855776622435462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4723468040831409681.post-39593755523832961902010-07-27T20:45:00.001-04:002010-07-27T20:46:56.901-04:00Great Give a Way!!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaI988UQYzEiiuF4PDID039MuhbA68qfRIg0zb8ut9r2BLvGnvzbxvAQYTRDS-Chod6AsTd_mOMq2oU2LF2Hxza2i8pVFlRzwBrRMZappCMHo6pyqwvMsQwmRKe-SbJBdgBQNKKNKeig94/s1600/sealsm1-150x150.png"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 150px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5498751857258985538" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaI988UQYzEiiuF4PDID039MuhbA68qfRIg0zb8ut9r2BLvGnvzbxvAQYTRDS-Chod6AsTd_mOMq2oU2LF2Hxza2i8pVFlRzwBrRMZappCMHo6pyqwvMsQwmRKe-SbJBdgBQNKKNKeig94/s400/sealsm1-150x150.png" /></a><br /><div align="center">Be sure to check out this fabulous give-a-way at <a href="http://jonesdesigncompany.com/giveaway/">Jones Design Company </a>blog. </div><div align="center">{Not any relation to me!}</div><div align="center">There are too many great things to list!</div>Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08070855776622435462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4723468040831409681.post-10243361529642844662010-07-27T14:41:00.003-04:002010-07-27T14:44:52.730-04:00furniture storeWhile furniture shopping online, I ran across a cool site. <a href="http://eclecticessentials.com/catalog.php?page=6&category=59">Eclectic Essentials </a>has tons of great furniture.
