decisions, decisions...

so things are rolling with the house; inspection being done soon, we've settled on (and agree - ?!) on the floor covering in the master bedroom (green carpet...and green walls?  ick to both.  we're putting down sisal instead and obviously painting.), we're narrowing down the fridge search (v. important) and best of all - my girl jen dipasquale of revival design in austin, texas is on the job.  i started to get a little nutty last week because i realized that we close mid-march...we need to paint almost immediately after that so that we can move in in early april...OMG we need our color palettes and vision boards for every room completed!!!  i panicked and started sending jen furniture ideas, foaming at the mouth on the other side of the computer. being the professional that she is, she told me we need to focus and slow down.  send her images of other rooms we like so that we can get a framework going.  luckily, every time i see an image of a room i like, i right-click it and save it in a 'decorating' folder on my computer.  unfortunately i just did a rough count and over the years i've liked over 700 rooms.  oy.  how do you pick just one style, one color combination?

take living rooms for example.
do i do glam white and gold?  white slipcovers can be washed, right?

ok, i do have a toddler.  this would never work. but i do love the mix of classic lines with new.

love the light and fresh look of this room.

i adore the infusion of color here.  that ikat settee and chaise?  i die.

i require more color than this, but i love the way this room is set up...perfect for entertaining or lounging.

oooo.  ahhh.

one room down, and i'm already exhausted.  how do people do this!?

happy valentine's day!!
