2009 ...

Trying on 2009, I decided to give blogging another try...

At the end of last year I hired a local interior designer to come to our condo and assess our Living / Dining Room and 2 bedrooms. This was an interesting process... Her layout for the living / dining room was almost spot on what I already had laid out (expect she recommended her furniture store's furniture in replace of what we have) and her design for our bedroom did not include my most favorite antique barrister bookcase (which I told her how much I loved that piece of furniture). A long story longer, I spent some time at the store and discussed likes / dislikes and options... so we will see... at least she is helping me with understanding the size of furniture to purchase... ect....

So.... where does that leave me now... hunting down ideas of what I want to do with our place...

I guess for today, I will share some of the ideas I ran across for our bedroom...

My husband LOVES heavy Manly wood beds... okay... well he does not feel beds are necessary, but I do and he likes heavy sturdy things...

Some other options I like are :

I like this bed solely because it seems to blend both of what we want!! I like upholstered bed and he wants heavy wood!!

I bet this bedroom is cute, I like the desk as a nightstand... but that would mean I would have to buy the desk and the bed... hmmm...

We have this desk at home and it is in our bedroom now... I think I love this desk chair?! Or is it I just love the color palate!!

Thoughts???
