Any Day Now...

Any day now we will be closing on our new house! We are both really excited but not too excited to start packing. I have yet to pack or purge any of our earthly belongings. I know I need to start soon but I am just not motivated. I've been way too busy putting together my decor/wish list book of all things new home related. It just seems so productive to get everything I want to do on paper instead of being physically productive. Chris and I took a field trip to Lowe's and picked out paint colors and I've been clipping pics of ideas and things I like from magazines. So far we have decided that we will paint our bedroom a calming yet bold green. The furniture is going to be black and I'm going to get crafty and make a upholstered headboard that is rather over sized and ridiculous. Next we are going to tackle the bathroom. It is going to get a nice coat of ocean blue to cover the existing orange color and eventually we would like to paint the cabinets a slate gray color and keep all the accents white. I found some great 1x1 tiles that include all those colors and it would be great if we could incorporate it somewhere. The upstairs hallway also needs a coat of paint. Its rather ugly the way it is it has a floral border and is white with pink sponge pattern quite country and old. After those couple tasks are taken care of we'll move in! We have high expectations for the rest of the house but I'm sure it will be a never ending endeavor. Once we get in the house I'll post some pics. Then as we accomplish our many tasks I'll post some before and afters!
