Decorating!

We have moved from a 2 room apartment that is pretty much 1/3 of the size of the house and are still trying to fill the space! We moved in having 1 couch, a small kitchen table and a makeshift bedroom set...a combination of furniture that we had at our parents' houses.

We needed something to put in this house. The thought of decorating a home with furniture and wall decor was both overwhelming and exciting!

On our first day of furniture shopping I spotted these polka dot arm chairs. I decided that even if we couldn't afford any other furniture I had my heart set on those chairs. Well, we were able to buy them and they became the center of all of my other decorating ideas. Even with countless trips to HomeGoods, we could only find so many blue/green/brown/tan combination! So, we had to resort to what we thought would be the cheapest and easiest way of decorating...framed pictures that we've taken. Although not EVERY picture in the house is of my husband and I, I do admit that a lot of them are. We recently got married so that's what we have pictures of!  Because of that, we have been made fun of by family and friends. My brother refuses to go in our living room. Apparently he thinks it's creepy that if you sit on the couch you look directly at a 11X14 picture of us from our wedding. I guess I can see where he's coming from! We are still working on the wall decor!

We are making progress. We have been able to fill up the rooms with both new and hand-me-down furniture. Our dining room however, that's still in the works. We currently have a plastic banquet table and folding chairs. Not exactly what you picture in a dining room, but I put a nice tablecloth on it, and it'll do for now!

We have plenty of time to fill this house, and look forward to finding new ways to furnish it!
