Favorite Couch

This sofa, the one I've been crushing on for almost a year, is now available for $500. This is a floor model and includes the two ottomans.

I'm trying to convince myself that we need it, but I fear I'm losing the battle.

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.

All Moved In

Well, we've been homeowners for a little over two weeks now.

Signed the papers and forked over the cash on June 29th.

Mr Oh and I slept ate pizza and slept on an air mattress that first night. It was honestly one of the happiest moments of my life. I'm so excited that we have a home together.

We lived with the very bare essentials (like cable) for that first week, and had two trips with the UHaul on July 5th.

Now we've got everything in our giant house (giant because it's three times the space of our last place), and we're adding more.

Dropped a pretty penny on dining room furniture and a king-size mattress set today.

Here's one little glance of the house...


Bought that at an antique place not too far from here. Saw it before we moved, and thought $40 wasn't bad for something cute and useful. Then, it dropped to $28. Mr wants to paint it black, but I think it just needs a good cleaning. We'll see...

Future Purchase?

I would really like to maybe possibly buy this for a wall in the kitchen.
Yippee-ai-kai-yay.

Alphabet Fun

I read all of the sites on apartmenttherapy.com. Even though I don't have kids yet, I like ohdeedoh.com a lot. Recently they've featured some neat alphabet prints.

This one is my favorite:

The link they give isn't really helpful, but they also state it's "Animalphabet by Sigrid Martinez."

Another animal one:

I like the primary colors. It can be purchased at this etsy shop.

A personalized one:
made at another etsy shop.

This final alphabet image, isn't just a cute print, it's an AWESOME cabinet, with 26 little drawers.


Sold here. Discovered here.

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!
