Divine Design

Ok, so I'll admit lately I've been a little bit B-O-R-E-D with all my free time before I begin substituting next week (PTL) and I've been in the redecorating mood. Our apartment is very tricky when it comes to arranging furniture, so this is like the 4th time I've moved it...but possibly the last, for a few months (lets be honest). We are trying to prepare the room for the BIG SCREEN tv we're getting thanks to my parents, which will completely take up one wall! Howard always complains that our TV is too small, so he will be very thrilled. Last night we purchased a new clock and a room divider/screen from World Market, one of my favorite stores, and it's really making things look better! I've been getting all of my inspiration from the catalogues that come to me dutifuly every month through the mail...Ballard Designs, Pottery Barn, Crate & Barrel, to name a few.

Specifically Pottery Barn has gotten it SO right lately with all of their neutral/natural designs. I'm very in to this look, keep it simple...as always. I am completely scared off by rooms that are focused on a thousand different colors and that have floral patterns EVERYWHERE, you know what I'm talking about. Here are a few rooms I'm just dying to incorporate into our little apartment and then someday home.

And in conclusion, this is what our backyard will someday look like. So be prepared for many occasions of fine dining and fun. (Not pictured: pool, boat, and another Weimaraner named Duke or Sport)
