On Friday, my husband called and told me that Saturday we were going to go furniture shopping for the new house, so go look at furniture, and find ONE store with everything I wanted. So, that's what we did. The kids and I visited a local "Living Spaces" and started checking it all out. Hubby called around 5 to say he was tired and was coming home. I said, why don't you meet us at the furniture store. So in he comes - and surprises me by purchasing a WHOLE HOUSE of furniture!!! We got stuff we'd planned on getting, and stuff we hadn't! I am pleased to say that after 16 years of marriage, we got our FIRST bedroom set!!!! We've always just had a mattress on a frame, but now I have end tables, bed, dresser and armour!!!! Plus we got a bed and "lingerie" chests for our daughters room, couches for the bonus room, couches for the living room (that's my FAVORITE - I love the chaise and table!!!!) and a kitchen set. It's sooo exciting! I can't believe I finally have a house and furniture!
If you scroll towards the bottom of the page, you'll find the slide show of my NEW furniture! All 44 pieces! Wait, 42 - baby girls dresser/chests didn't come yet - that's tomorrow.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE comment! I'd love to hear what you think!

first i'll say, why does "baby girl" need a lingere chest. dang!
so much to say. 1) guess you'll have to start a new 'streak' don't think i didnt' see that starbucks drink in the 'disaster zone' (wagging a finger, shaking my head) 2) i love the price is right effects on the slide show to show how shiny and new everything is 3) i like the 'even closer' pics of the living room furnature. LOL, i'm still laughing 4) living room's my favorite 5) contrasing accent pillows could make the bonus couches pop. i suggest tj maxx, ross, marshalls 6) i was really surprised to see you go so traditional and old school in your master also, i didn't see the mirrored ceiling (i can hear 'daddy warbrent' say "Liiiiilllaaaaa") 7) i was the most excited about my chaise too, we both fought over getting it then fought over sitting in it and now... it's a junk holder. tee hee. 8)i'm so happy you guys got all this stuff. i'm glad you have both worked so hard and i'm looking forward to brent getting to spend more time with his cute family. 9)i wish you'd use your frequent flier miles to help me with the baby WHEN she comes and we get back home.
Sure, you go shopping crazy AFTER you move? I'll blame Brent:) You now I would have gone with you!!! Very cute Tennis clothes! I love the furniture in the bonus room, I know where I want to sleep when we visit! Awesome furniture I like it all, you deserve it, finally!!!!
I love all of it.
I am going to have to agree with your sister.
What is up with the starbucks drink.
NOW GET DOWN AND GIVE ME 30 NOW
I am so happy for your family
hahaha! Had to respond to Lila's comment...
1) OOOOOOOOHHHHHH SNAP! Forgot that was there! Busted! :-)
2) hahahahahaha!!!! That's the PERFECT way to describe it! That's exactly what my thought was when I saw that option. I was like "ooooooo sparkly!" :-) hehe
3) hehe Glad you liked the "even closer". I mean, what can you say - that's what it was, and it needed to be there to see the color better :-)
4) ME TOO!
5) Yes, I was thinking the same thing, and my neighbor commented on that too. What colors would you suggest? The couches are a pukey moss color (which I love...). I think I'll go shopping with Connie Chavez (Sieg) because her house is ADORABLE and SOOOO put together! I'm going to see if she'll go accent shopping with me after school's back in...
6) Hmmmm....not sure why you'd be surprised - I'm pretty conservative for the most part, as is Brent. Look at our "rustic" furniture from TX. We're pretty no frills. Mirrored ceiling - it was tempting, but this house already has A LOT of mirrors. Every closet door in this house is mirrored - I'm becoming very vain. :-) I wonder what Brent will think of his new nickname...I personally LOVE it! :-) But then again, we are Annie fans around here...
7) pppsssshhttt! My chaise won't be a junk holder...well unless you count all the JUNK IN MY TRUNK! :-)
8) Me too! And the house is sooooo comfy now, I'm sure he will be :-)
9) ME TOO! I am going to push for it! :-)
Also to Gwen's comment: The bonus room furniture was subconciously (sp?) inspired by your front room furniture! The microfiber and kinda the color! LOL Regarding shopping....I still need to buy all the ACCENT stuff....that's your favorite type of shopping! TJ MAX BABY! :-)
Lisa - ugggg my arms are soooooo sore from those 30! Figures YOU'D put a GOYB on my blog! hehe
duh! red for the puke green couch but nothing with a lot of frills on it. if i get to ross tomorrow, ill take a picture of an idea. get a color wheel and go with similar lighter shades with some texture or design to break up the vastness of BIG and GREEN OR go opposite the color wheel etc etc.

p.s. i don't like your word verification code!
Hey you high rollers! I keep thinking about you but I haven't had a chance to call. How did the move go? I am assuming that you are all in heaven now with your new home. I didn't look at all the pics but what I saw of your 42 pieces of furniture look great. I'll wait to see the rest in person :-) We need to make plans to meet now that you live closer. I need to take a tour of your new palace and you need to meet Matthew in person!! Let me know what days are best for you guys and we'll make plans! Talk to you soon. Love, Deb
