Head Start

Usually I am pretty good about knowing what I want to do (decoration-wise) in a house. However, I have had a hard time choosing what to do with Annelise and Emmaline's shared bathroom for the next house. I was going to do a light blue and rose theme, but that is almost exactly what I am doing for Annelise's next bedroom. So, I had to come up with something else. I wanted something that would go with the floor we will do in there, which is the old-timey looking black and white honeycomb tile. I also wanted something that I wouldn't have to re-do in a few years because they have outgrown it. Well, I was browsing at Kohl's website (one of my fave stores...) and I found this set. It is called "Apple Pie" and it is made by Candies. I absolutely loved it. At first, I wondered what color I would paint the walls and then I noticed in the rug that some of the flower parts are tan- so the walls shall be also. I am very excited that this room is done. They are having free shipping right now, and all the bath sets are 30% off, and I have a coupon for 15% off my entire order! (It's like it was just meant to be!) We went to meet with the cabinet guy today and really liked what we saw there, too. As I have said before, we like to have everything picked out before we need it. A friend of mine from high school is going to do our landscaping- he is a landscape architect, and he does mostly commercial, but likes to do homes on the side. I know he will do a great job. I am just really getting excited about this house. We went to see granite samples, today and just could not find anything we liked/agreed upon. We are going to go to their supply warehouse next month, which is near our lakehouse and see if they have anything we haven't seen yet. Trying to find granite to go with the black and white backsplash we are doing is going to be tough. I am very happy that the girls bathroom has been decided, now I am going to try and focus on the sunroom- that has been the other room that I just cannot decide on. (I know, I have no "real" problems right now- let me enjoy that, okay?!) Enough for now, off to look at paint swatches for the hundredth time!
