Whatcha doing?
I'm trying to find rugs for our new place. We have a living/dining room combo. I feel like we need 2 rugs, but I need to double check the new bench to see if it has rubber or felt.
Anyway the process is becoming more difficult than I imaged it would be. I pretty much do not like anything. Or if I do it's more than I want to spend.
Anyway, what is every one else doing tonight?

What differentiates an average host and a great host is anticipating unexpressed needs and wants of their guests. Just because the want/need is not expressed, doesn't mean it wouldn't be appreciated.

Re: Whatcha doing?
DH is cooking dinner for a small group. He is annoyed because it's suppose to be his day off. i'm cooking dinner (cleaning out the freezer), drinking wine and trying to map out a plan for Denver this weekend.
BTW - not only does moving suck, it costs money because you "need" new stuff. in our case we are going from wall-to-wall carpet (which I hated) to hardwood. So need rugs for the dogs.
Of course, I decided to get a new table. Okay, not a need, but I HATED our old table with a passion. I love our new one. Can't wait to use it (it's at the new place. we officially move on Monday).
The new place is so dark compared to the one we are moving from, so that means lighting. (we face south at the current place and it provides a ton of light. The new place barely gets any direct sun light).
We are at least being creative and not just getting your standard big box store stuff. Making our own coat rack out of wine barrels reclaimed wood and vintage hooks. Made our own swag light. It's been fun working with DH.
Im watching Harry Potter and cocooning myself in blankets.
drinkgin in wine with my MIL every night is definitely different, but so far so good!
I only see my MIL for a few days a year when we fly out there. I drink wine with her every night I'm there.
I feel your rug pain but with lamps. I feel like I used to see oodles of awesome lamps for sale in my style and price range, but now that I actually should buy some they are all either ugly or boring or approximately 12 billion dollars.
We decided to create our own swag light. We got this:
and these:
So far the only one bulb and the cord has shown up, but it looks nice in the space.
I have to say it's much easier hanging stuff when the furniture isn't there yet.
I'm getting excited that not only will be living in the new space on Monday, but it will be pretty much put together as well. Might even invite people over for MNF.
**note the rest of the sofa comes over on Monday. I will get a shot when it's all together.
@short+sassy - notice the pictures?
