Since I am the Queen of “Getting Ahead of Yourself”, I’ve started collecting some ideas for the rooms in my (hopefully) soon-to-be home.
I know I’ve kept you all in the dark with which one I picked. This is it!
The sellers have agreed to my offer, and now it’s on to their bank for their short sale approval. Their lien is with a local bank, so this could be a short process, but who knows. The average timeframe is 3-6 months for a short sale approval.
So, on to the topic of the post.. decorating!
I plan on turning the master bedroom, which now looks like this…
into this…
with dark grey paint, light blue quilt, my current Pottery Barn flowery sham for a pop of color, and silver accents.
And the office that currently looks like this…
into this…
with a SATC movie-esque paint color, small white desk, and the Pottery Barn organization system. And I say small desk because I really don’t want to move my real work home. It needs to stay there so I don’t stress about it. So my home office will be for paying bills and possibly scrapbooking.
That’s it for now. I have more ideas in my head for a guest room, yoga room, library, and living room! The house is big, so I better start putting money away for furniture!!!

One of the best things about home ownership is decorating.
I almost bought a house by myself back when I was 25. I was single and ready to own my own house. I was sooo excited about the decorating and painting!
The house fell through for me and it ended up being a good thing (for me) but moving in with my boyfriend who owned a house I got to decorate and remodel his house without the stress!
LOVE your ideas!!! I wish i could paint something in my house the dark grey. I’m in love with that color!! I think you should do your living room like you did your house at the beach. i LOVED it!
I hope everything goes smoothly with the bank and you get the keys soon! I’m also loving your decorating ideas and can’t wait to see how everything turns out!
I am so excited for you! Those decorating ideas look lovely. While I’ve been entertaining new house and things, the boyfriend is a practical man and wants to save enough money. So now, I get to have fun decorating the apartment in creative and inexpensive ways. We’ve both been pretty ‘jump off the cliff’ haven’t we?
Love the office paint colors! I love to redo rooms!
