After going through numerous companies, we’re now in the process of selecting the home and getting the loan. It’s been pretty hard on both of us. It’s had me questioning a few things about him and I’m sure the same questions have come up with him about me, but hopefully in the very near future we’ll be able to get things to work much smoother with our daily lives.
I keep thinking about how exactly I’m going decorate, no matter what kind of a home we wind up getting. It could be a shack in the woods or a trailer along the interstate but we’ll still make it home, no matter what the cost. Of course I’d consider a nice quiet area and at least 1800sqft but that’s coming from a person who’s lived in an apartment all her life and who wants to expand as far as she possibly can!
I’m not one of those people that’s into “themes” when it comes to how a house looks. I want something both comfortable and clean so as far as furniture is concerned I’ll naturally look into big and fluffy and then worry about the actual color choices. A big thing for me though? Clocks! I’m used to having a lot of them around because my family has always been time conscious. Sean and I just recently purchased one of the Howard Miller clocks for the bedroom. We do have an alarm clock in there, but there’s a big of elegance to the one we chose. And it’s also practical, considering the odd screen on the alarm clock we have. It’s an iPod dock as well but there’s something about the contrast of the LCD screen that makes it difficult to see the time on the clock itself. Great for charging the iPod and does actually wake you up, it just takes a while to set the alarm because of the inability to see the screen. Anyhow, the one we picked up is a pretty basic wall clock we decided that going with something too bulky in a new where near formal room would really look odd. So picking up a very simple one with a thick black frame made us very happy.
We know for sure that a King-sized bed is a must, so far we do already have sheets and a comforter considering our make-shift King but eventually we’ll be upgrading. Both of us are finding it harder and harder to get off the floor when we wake up in the morning. His knee has been acting up and my back is just about shot so we’re looking into something thicker than 5 inches of foam on the floor. I found one at Sleepy’s that’s very reasonably priced and depending how money comes in over the course of the next month. I think that’s just a purchase we’re going to have to make as soon as possible. As of right now our color scheme (in both rooms) is Gray, Black and White. I think we’ll pull some Pink into it but I’ll have to work that one in myself because he has absolutely no desire for a Pink room. It’s not like I’m painting the walls or anything. I’m talking throw pillows or something to break up the darkness of the room!
This all requires money though, guess I should get back to work heh.
