Obsessed

I want to decorate our house. Apartment. This place that we live in. It still looks so drab to me. Along with our list, and it's definitely OUR list, of major replacements, I have my own growing list of small touches I would like to add to our home. One of my current obsessions right now are these shelves from IKEA. I want to put pictures in huge frames on them with groups of candles or large vases.

We also desperately need a full length mirror for our bedroom. I almost killed myself trying to stand on our swiveling desk chair so that I could see in our bathroom mirror how my new shoes looked on my feet/with my jeans. Thus, the use of the word desperate. I love this mirror in black from Target.

I found this blog the other day and instantly added it to my blog list over on the right. It's only fueling my decorating obsession. I like a lot about their house. I'm not a fan of their bedroom and some of the stuff is a little too modern for me. But I like the clean, sleekness mixed with little flourishes here and there that soften everything.

And the photographer at Chad and Tressie's wedding posted pictures of her house a while back because they are trying to sell. It's super cute, but probably too many different and brightly painted walls for me. I like the overall style though.

I told Nathan last night that I didn't feel like our living room really reflected who we are. He looked at me and said, "What?"
