decorating

oy…the joys and whoas of decorating a new home!

it’s tough. we are working on the living room right now. we need to buy a new rug and curtains for it. ugh. i am overwhelmed with the options…so many choices and i need to make a decision soon! we need curtains asap! there is nothing on our window right now and we need to have the privacy and i want to have the room aesthetically pleasing.

we keep debating back and forth on patterns and colors for our curtains. it’s such a big expense and i can’t make up my mind!

here are some ideas for the curtains:

this swatch is from regal drapes. i love the cross pattern and colors. i am torn though, i’m not sure what color i really want the drapes to be! i want color but i’m wavering on committing to one!

this one is from the shade store. as you can see…i am leaning towards yellow. i do love the yellow and gray, i think it will be a nice accent color and give the room a nice pop of brightness.

i like this iron gate style from drape style. i’d maybe do this in a dark grey but i think i am leaning towards color. ugh. i dunnoooooo! honestly, everything i peek at looks really nice, i wish i could get several options and just change them out when i feel like it! yeaaaaahhhh, right.

the iron gate looks very nice, i think the print will impactful in the space and neutral enough to play around with when it comes to any accents.

hc and i really like this print above. it’s from an etsy seller, she offers quite a range of fabrics and color.

as for rugs, i played around with idea of doing something bright. i am now leaning towards something more graphic and bold. a nice statement rug that can flex with any of the color and accent changes in the room.

here are some ideas around rugs:

i love this rug from ikea. i like the bright colors. the only issue i have with this is that is doesn’t come in a larger size. the size it is will do but we really want a larger rug to fit better into the size of the room.

i love this rug from rugs direct. i like how bold it is but still neutral where we can change our room colors around it. i like the graphic design and the bold neutral colors that still make a statement. the only thing that makes me nervous is that it is a cream color! i must be crazy to want a cream colored rug with kids!!

i wish i had everything available so i could play around and then truly make a decision {wouldn’t that be great?!}! the whole decorating thing is fun…it’s our house and we get to make it as beautiful, lovely, comfy, and cool as we please! i love it.

well, once we finalize everything, i’ll let y’all know what decor we decided on! we will still have a lot to do with the room but getting the main pieces implemented is our main focus! ooohhhh, I can’t wait to share!

xoxo
