After my last blog post, I got in a teeny bit of trouble because C said I made him look bad. I promise that was not my intention at all. I have tried to make my motto for the last 2 years "not wrong but different." I fail miserably at remembering this sometimes like when he has been playing xbox for 4 hours when we could be having meaningful conversations. Sidenote: if you love talking to your boyfriend/husband while he is staring at something else, hate spending time with him and can't wait to come home and watch tv alone then I highly recommend buying him an xbox for his birthday.
But I did sort of feel guilty that he thought I was dogging him. Honestly, I thought it made me look like the control freak that I am! It ended up being a good thing that I posted the insulting blog though because it got him to open up a little and I realized that basically he wants to be included. So instead of just picking things, I have been picking out like 3 things and letting him choose. Turns out he has really good taste!
He agreed to everything that I was fighting for on the last blog except the bedding. So I found like 8 bedding sets that I liked and he picked his favorite. It also happened to be my favorite so I was very excited. This is it and I am in love.
It just happened to be on sale last week but when I went to buy it, the size I wanted was sold out. Major bummer. It's kind of costly so I am going to try to wait until they have another sale and snatch it up quickly!
We also decided on windows and doors. Do you remember the part of You've Got Mail when Tom Hanks is talking about Starbucks? He says something like Starbucks is for people who have no decision making ability to make a bunch of decisions on one cup of coffee. Well that is how I feel about windows. There are a million different kinds. We like vinyl, double pane, low-e, prairie grille, almond color windows. The windows will look like this and we found a door that matches.
The one thing I can not make up my mind about is our bedroom. I love that the comforter we picked out is so versatile but I am having a hard time deciding what else I want in there. I'm currently in a phase where I want everything to be coral. So I am loving coral and navy for the bedroom.
Gorgeous, right? I'm just a little worried that this is only a phase and I will get sick of it soon. I've thought about painting the walls navy which is a huge commitment since it would take hundreds of coats if we wanted to paint over it.
I also died when I saw this bedroom. I would get rid of the pink since I promised C a girly color free home but I love the bold colors and fabrics all mixed together.
I also love this bedroom, I feel like it's a toned down version of the bedroom above.
It looks like we will have plenty of time to make up our minds though.
Please feel free to call me naive but I have never built a house before so this whole process is a learning experience. My dad has a really good friend at one of the banks here in town so I kind of just assumed we could walk in, ask for a few thousands and walk out fanning our cash like the gangster rappers we are. Umm not so. The bank that my dad's friend works at doesn't do construction loans anymore so we are having to use a bank and a loan officer that none of us know. I realize this isn't that rare in most cases but when you live in a small town like Benton, you just expect to know someone everywhere you go! We are still waiting to get the construction loan and can't touch the lot until we do. Have I mentioned I am super impatient?
