So far decorating our new home hasn't proven to be too challenging, the only official agreement I've made with my better half is to stay away from ruffles and anything pink. That's a small price to pay in exchange for the peace of mind that comes with knowing he has agreed to keep all his *weird boy stuff out of the common living areas. But really, the place still looks like we just moved in yesterday. The only space that looks presentable at this point is the bathroom.
I'm very motivated to settle in. The problem is I can't commit to ANYTHING. For example, if I buy a striped rug how do I know I won't wish I'd chosen something more neutral later on? Or what if all the ikat and geometric prints I love right now won't really "fit" in our beachy little cottage? I don't want to end up with seashells and wicker everywhere just because it seems to work.
I'm also overdosing on the inspiration. I bought like, 10 home decor magazines and I have scoured way too many blogs. I keep changing my mind. With that said, here are some extra pretty prints from Madeline Weinrib and Coco cozy that have only contributed to my confusion. Real nice.
And here's a link to a nice blog post about coffee table books full of even more ideas. I want all these books (not healthy)
Here's to complaining about things that really don't matter.
*C*
*Reggae concert posters, decorative Bob Marley throw, WWF red folding metal chair, and a novelty clock I don't even feel like describing. To name a few.
let me impart my wisdom from the things I've read and mistakes I've made: choose your rug first and build up from there (I really dislike my neutral rugs), pillows are what you can go crazy with bc you can change them easily and cheaply - just get mom to help you, white curtains are nice if you can't decide and then you can add pattern with rugs and pillows, and books are totally healthy - I want all those too. xoxo
