Its a busy time around here, what with packing the house up and trying not to slide across the floor right down the stairs. But I keep dreaming about our new place, and I know that we want a clean, sophisticated look with original details thrown in. We have never owned a real piece of furniture (except for my
desk!) so we get to start living like grown-ups. Here are some ideas from my mood board for the new place, if you know of any online galleries that would also have some inspiring images, please share!

Living room: We want a comfy (him) but structured (me) couch in grey or navy probably. I want some great lamps for versatile lighting and enough seating for my whole family to come and sit down. PLUS, a place to deposit stuff when I come home, very important cuz we take our shoes off asap and I don't put things that have been on the ground on top of any upholstered furniture. So maybe a
console?

Bedroom: We need a platform or no spring bed cuz O moves around so much that he wakes me up 10 times in one night, we have been sleeping on our futon for weeks just because it doesn't bounce. So...
Malm in oak veneer or the four poster
Hemnes (another idea that O has nixed) bed from
Ikea, or the
wood frame bed from West Elm.


The Dining Room: will have to be kinda simple, I have a great solid oak table that I built from a kit when I was younger, and the table top is great extra counter space, (perfect for making pies and pastas) but I love this idea from
Living etc... to paint the legs, and these Eames chairs are the exact ones I want...so feast your eyes on my dream dining room.


As far as my office goes, it is free for me to decide. I think I will paint it bright white and have my
desk in the middle of the room. I want lots of storage that I can move to the three different work areas (drawing, painting and computer). So three
hopen storage units lined up together on one wall, my dad's drafting table (the first thing he bought when he came to the US, and it is beautiful) and some
office chairs I can live with...
Wanna see some very hastily taken shots of the new place?
