Design items.

Here are just a few things we have purchased (one that hopefully we will) for the new home!  I am waiting to borrow a fish-eye lens to take photos (and waiting for things to be more "before" and "after" in full effect.  In the meantime, here are some sneaks!

We got this same couch on craigslist (for way less money than list price) and LOVE it.  It is the black/gray wool version.  It is a Camerich (here).  

We put together this light last night (we enjoy team projects and with a goofy husband like mine, I don't know who wouldn't). Ikea Maskros light...it is seriously awesome but definitely not enough light for the dining room-and husband thinks it will cast weird shadows on peoples' faces...we would hate to do that to guests :)

So instead we are hopefully going to order this one from CB2: 

Oh, and no home can be without their own animal...ours just happens to be an extra large sheepskin rug and cowhide.

From Costco.

Koldby Ikea rug.

Ikea.

This afternoon I am going to Ikea...again  I hadn't been there in at least two years (I think) but I am need of some inspiration of some modern sort :)  Shocking. I know.

I am also getting rid of stuff before the move and selling things such as: the Kitchenaid Pro mixer (sold), the Kitchenaid 12 cup processor, the juicer (almost sold), glasses, etc.

10 days.  Really?!?!  Oh shoot..I should probably get going.  And maybe I should start packing.

PS: Go buy the Matt Hammitt CD and listen to "All of Me." It is a song written about finding out their little boy had a severe heart defect while in the womb and realizing that it stopped him from fully pouring every bit of his heart into loving that baby.  It is so beautiful.

I am going to make a sign for the baby's wall that says: "You are going to have all of us. You are going to have all our love."

{PS} Funny how God works: the one thing I didn't want in a home was something modern and the one thing Matt didn't want was to live in the suburbs.  Here is to God knowing where we should be better than we do :) 10 days until a modern home in the burbs. Love you, baby.

Hallelujah.
