OK, I can't get out of this decorating mode.
We decided to buy new sofas (2) for our family room.
It's probably a little premature like our hardwood floors with our youngest just 2 and our oldest at 5 ... oh well. So here are the sofas and chair we selected. The most shocking part is that I didn't go w/my favorite color of moss green or play it safe by going neutral w/ a tan. I went for the blue! OMG, I still can't believe I did it. Honestly tho, I'm so freaking excited about it! The blue is a smokey blue micro fiber w/a checkered pattern (it's soft and fluffy!) The club chair and ottoman are a chocolaty brown w/a tan diamond pattern w/blue dots at the intersections. I love this chair! The brown is also the fabric for the throw pillows on the sofas, ya know to tie them together.

Anyway, this all started earlier in the year when I painted our master bedroom and found a comforter set to boot. The walls are Restoration Hardware's Sea Green (kind of a bluish green).With the accent color of Ralph Lauren's Silver. Yep, Silver. We have a round entry to our bedroom too (smaller than that of the foyer) where I had travertine laid mirroring the round soffit. The whole rotund is silver w/ the ceiling in the sea green. Love it! The master bath ideally will be "opposite of the bedroom in tan and silver w/ accents of the sea green. I went with the sea green 1) because I like it and 2) it played well w/ the colors in the medallion. The green in that is Forest Green. Which is typically chosen for the has veining of blood red. You heard right, red. I purposely selected stones w/very little if any of the red. I searched for forever to get the light and dark greens with minimal red. The other project around the house is to replace our counter tops in the kitchen. Hopefully to granite. Color? Dunno. I do know that I want tiny glass and stone Mosaic for a full back splash. Something that I will design, I'm sure. My plan is have the house to flow and harmonize - does that make sense? Everything takes for ever and costs so darn much! I still just can't wait - its been 4 years already!
So, now I'm on the hunt for fabrics for drapes and valances for the master bedroom, family room and kitchen. I found these cute chenille floor mats at Pier 1 that go perfectly (this will go at the patio door and by the kitchen sink) I need some coordinating accessories too. I forgot how much fun it is to design homes and decorate! Hope you don't mind me expressing so ... :)
I'll post pictures once the room is done. But that won't be for weeks!!! :0
