New House = New Furniture!

Of course one of the most exciting things about getting a new house is finding all the new furniture to put in it!! Thankfully I've acquired lots of great hand-me-downs over the past few years (my family has EXCELLENT taste), so we really didn't need THAT much, but there were a few things on our wishlist :)

One of those things was new bedroom furniture.



My parents' bought me a nice set of furniture when we moved to our house in the country about 12 years ago -- it's still in excellent shape, but we wanted to use it in the guest room and get all new stuff for our room.



We started talking about what we wanted in a master bedroom last August when we started registering for the wedding. The look we decided on was a "spa" look -- not really a theme, but we wanted to get that relaxing feeling when we walked into our bedroom.





(Okay... maybe we watch too much HGTV)

I'm really bad about wanting something "different" as far as decorating goes and then chickening out at the last minute and going with something in my comfort zone. I bet we looked at over 50 comforter sets, trying to find that "look" we wanted, and we FINALLY found it at Bed Bath and Beyond.



We planned our WHOLE room around this comforter -- it ended up being one of the gifts we received at our shower (from my Uncle Ricky), and "Santa Clause" got us a king sized bed for Christmas.



It didn't take me long to find the PERFECT furniture to go with our "spa" look -- it's called Key Town, and just fits in perfectly with our vision for the room! We waited and waited to make the purchase, and I'm really glad we did -- by the time the Memorial Day sale came along we had the measurements for our new bedroom and were able to cash in on a 28% off sale!






We had been on the lookout for a chair to go in our room as well -- we walked into Ashley Furniture on Memorial Day weekend and there it was... right by the entrance. As soon as we saw it Rob and I both pointed and said "Wow! Look at that chair!!" It matches our comforter and other decor perfectly! It sold itself to us as soon as we sat in it... it's SO comfy and a total impluse buy but hey, we WERE wanting one anyway, right? :)






So all the furniture has been ordered, and now we are just waiting on it to arrive and for our home to be ready. Both places we ordered from will hold our furniture until we're ready, and will deliver it for us on move-in day! I'm SO excited!! Wonder if they would swing by the storage room on their way and deliver all that stuff for us too?? Hmm, probably not :)

We also ordered two new recliners (couldn't find a picture...), and have picked out a set of barstools we love! (we're getting them in RED)

I LOVE all the new things we have picked out, and absolutely cannot wait to get them all put together in our new home! We have somewhere around 6 weeks left before move-in day... The count-down is definitely on!!
