Upgrading Our Furniture

Why do I keep feeling like I need to wait to upgrade our furniture? We’ve lived in the same house for 4 years, and yet we have mismatched side tables in our bedroom (not on purpose). My sister and I were chatting the other day and realized that we are both doing this. Meanwhile, I see gorgeous images on Pinterest that I want to replicate, but I keep thinking, “Not now.” Well, friends, as they say…

I’ve decided to stop saying “not now” and make our home the pretty, comfortable space we want it to be. (To be clear:  I want pretty, T wants comfortable.)

We already purchased a new couch and rug for the living room, and I cannot wait until our sectional gets here! I was originally looking at these two sectionals, but we went with something bigger (depth-wise). I really hope it doesn’t look too big for the room when it gets to us.

I’m also looking at beds, since I’ve pretty much hated our bed since the day we moved in. It’s just too many straight lines for me. I can’t wait to share the progress and some before & afters!
