Big Purchases

Obviously, I haven't posted recently. I think owning a home makes dreaming about one unnecessary. I do want to get back in the groove of posting what I'd like to eventually see in my own home, though. Until then...feast your eyes of what we've already done:


Now that most of our big purchases have been made, I'm ready for fun small ones! Accessorizing will commence soon.

To-Buy List

Mr Oh and I don't own a lot of furniture. This will be more obvious when we move into a place three times as big as our current abode.

Major pieces we have and will move with us:

• couch
• coffee table
• small dining table with five chairs
• desk
• small bookshelf
• giant ikea shelf
• tall chest of drawers
• headboard
  
• long dresser w/mirror
• small vanity
• cedar chest
• futon
• two kitchen carts (probably will be repurposed...)
• tv stand

One major item that we're missing...

a bed!

We currently sleep on a full-size bed that has seen better days. It came with our garage apartment, and it will be left here. Not only is it old and ratty, it doesn't have the best support. We tend to roll towards the middle, which doesn't help the small bed issue. Our dog (a fairly large lab mix) sleeps with us during thunderstorms, and it gets tooooo cozy. We plan to buy a queen after we move. Or maybe a king...? That seems a little too big, but it also has its appeal.

We might use our current headboard for a guest room, and buy a new bed after we buy a mattress set.

Mr. Oh likes massive, ornate beds & sleigh beds.
I like fairly simple ones & hate footboards that are taller than the mattress.


We've been furniture browsing a few times recently, and we've agreed on a few. Hopefully when it's time to buy, we'll agree AND find a good deal!
