The New Apartment: Living Room

This week is the big move. I haven’t had a lot of time to think about what I want to do with the space. After we get settled a little I’m definitely hiring a decorator since I know we’ll be in this apartment for a while. Here is what I’m thinking so far for the living room: A. Tall tall drapes all the way up to the ceiling {with wooden rod and rings}. B. Open Square bookshelves to define the office area {arranged with pretty books and art.} C. The Hutton Sofa maybe? D. A very large patterned rug. E. Art we love that looks good in the space F. Bright pillow accents.

    Good luck with the move, it sounds exciting, and hiring a decorator would be great, but i love all your ideas.

    yesterday at church i was eating a pop tart and a lady who was in her 70’s said, “oh you must be hungry.” i replyed, “well sort-of, but mainly i’m eating the pop tart tart because my husband said i had bad breath.” and then i did one of those insecure laughs people do when they first talk to new people. she didn’t crack a smile and seemed digusted. that’s when i missed my old ward. i knew that you or pepper or michelle or anyone would have found that sort of funny. i even started crying (not sobbing but the kind of crying that no one would have noticed) because i missed you all so bad. boohoo for me.

    Sharon,

    You should come back.

    Or at the very least give me that lady’s address and we’ll toilet paper her house.

    Sounds like a busy week. I hope everything works out the way it is planned. I love the rug.

    I’m with Jordan.

    I have a costco membership – we can get the t-p in bulk. And maybe we leave a box of pop tarts on her doorstep?

    Oh and awesome design ideas Jordan.

    such great ideas! I also really liked that first photo of the blue bedroom from Domino, I have a page torn out too 🙂 You have so many nice ideas for your new place, it seems like everyone in blogland is moving lately. Looking forward to seeing how it all turns out.
