Sometimes I get a bit embarrassed about our furniture situation. Like the other day when the neighbor lady stopped by to bring us some welcome-to-the-neighborhood flowers....she commented on how nice the floors looked without carpet, then said something about how great it would be once all our furniture was put back in place.....oops..... I guess she didn't notice our camp chairs in the corner....
I'm excited for the day when everything is decorated, but to be honest, I'm terrified to spend a lot of money when I'm still not sure exactly what to get! I've always wanted a lovely linen sofa and powder blue velvet arm chairs, but when you come right down to it they're just not very practical. Light-colored linen would be impossible to keep clean and velvet does NOT wear well. That's why Ethan Allen's stain resistant fabric in a darker gray seemed like a smart choice...I just am not sure I'd LOVE it. And for someone who's already indecisive, spending a lot of money on something I'm just not sure about is a nearly impossible decision to make. Sigh. So I continue to look at pictures online hoping something will grab my attention and give me an idea. Because I would love to have a really pretty house some day.
Here are a few pictures of rooms I like. I have a whole folder of these on my computer. In some I like the whole room... in others I like just bits and pieces or the color palette. But maybe going through them again will help me whittle down what style I do like.

This makes me happy. There's a drafting table on craigslist for only $95 (http://billings.craigslist.org/fuo/2374763137.html). Of course it's in Cody, but spring is a great time for road trips!
