Hello mommy to be.  Decorating is so much fun we are taking it one step at a time.  Who would have known having a house was soooo expensive.  There are so many little things you have to buy and you do not even realize it until you own a home.  But I have to say we love it.  So far we have painted the family room and kitchen.  We bought new furniture for the family room as well.  Last weekend we painted the office and put our old sofa bed in there.  We also purchased some trees to give the place some life.  Uughh I could go on and on.  It is def. a work in progress.  I can't wait to see your place on Friday.  So now that the office is complete we are going to start on the living room which we have no furniture in.  I do need to get pics.

OMG!!! I still have decorating to do w/my place.  I def know where you are coming from.  But since its on the market now I haven't done the final touches hoping to see if we sell.  But I will show you the before and afterwards....let's just say BIG DIFFERENCE.  Owning your own place is a big shocker to the wallet.  But at least its YOURS!!!! You should def post pics...I know painting a room makes a BIG difference.

Isn't it crazy how much some paint can change a room.  I can't wait to see the before and after pics.  I need some inspiration.  LOL

Shirley, yes isn't it appaling how much it costs to be a homeowner. We still have a lot of interior decorating...but we're just taking it one room at a time. I second the paint thing...it can totally change a room's personality. Have fun and keep us posted....we want to steal your ideas.
