So I called the builder and he claims the lot is clear but at least now I’m sure of which one it is. I’m going to go out there today and check it. I think it is from what I remember so I’ll have an updated lot picture tomorrow. In the meantime I’ve been trying to decide on metal for the fixtures. I rather like bronze but nickel might be a better selling option. As much as possible I want this place to look high end. I think it will I have a good eye and I’m good at decorating. So it should be fantastic. I found a rug I quite like except I’m not sure where to put it. We have two rugs currently. A room sized one that my inlaws gave us and a smaller one I picked up at target way back when. The both need cleaning and I’m not quite sure how I want to do that except perhaps in the last week before we move I’ll manage it. Ideally I’d like to keep them in the garage and clean them before we move them into the house so they can be pristine and dry. Anyway our 1st floor will be all hard surfaces so I need a rug for the living room, one of the dining room, one for the entry and a smallish one or two for the kitchen. I like to have a rug in front of the sink and the stove. Also we might end up putting a hard surface up in the bonus room. So we have two and need at least two more. I found one that I think would be perfect for up in the bonus room. I don’t quite see it as entry way or dining room material.
Justin even likes it. I think it is probably a bit too dark for the living room since our furniture is so dark. Also on the agenda at some point is getting that chair I bought recovered. My slip cover experiments didn’t work so well. I might try doing it myself but I think I’m going to price having it reupholstered. If it’s cheap enough I’ll just go that route. Although I’m not quite sure what fabric to go with. I mean I know what type of thing I would like but it might be cost prohibitive. I just checked and yeah a hundred or higher a sq yard is way out of my budget. Especially for a chair I don’t even particularly care for. I mean I like the chair but I got it mostly cause I wanted a chair and it was a good brand and it was cheap. Perhaps the better option is just to stick that chair as is upstairs in my yarn room or office and get new for the living room? I already know what I want in the living room. I’m thinking a brown leather settle and morris chairs. Now see if I do that the rug above would totally work. I just have to convince Justin that’s the way to decorate. He has a thing about furniture for slouching as opposed to furniture for sitting.
I’m kind of all over the place with the design stuff I really need to focus on one thing at a time. So I think this week will be flooring. I have to decide if I’m going to tile the kitchen or do wood/laminate. Since from the flooring will depend all the other choices I make downstairs. I think the house would flow better if all the downstairs had one flooring. Its mostly open anyway. However I am sure tile would be better in case of any water accidents. Oh decisions decisions.
