Decorate? Me?

We're getting ready to move into our new apartment here in the next several weeks. We are more than excited to be back in our own place and less than excited to move all of our stuff again. Even after we purged many of our belongings in Spokane, I was still amazed as to how much stuff we have. Haden has at least three different backpacking packs, and I have to confess, I have a fair amount of shoes :)

At any rate, we are starting to gear up for our big move. Step one: buy a new couch.

For those of you who never heard us complain about our couch in Spokane, lets just say that Haden and I not-so-lovingly named it Black Death. We bought it from Target for $100 when we first got married. It was probably worth $50. Surprisingly we were able to sell it for 75 bucks and the girl that bought it claims to love it. I wonder if she has decreased sensation in her lower extremities.

Today, after hours of searching, we found and bought a couch that we love. Furniture Row, if you've never shopped there I would totally recommend it. Great furniture at very affordable prices.

Now the real work begins, starting to decorate. I'm feeling very inspired to make this place coordinated and put together. Partially because I want it to look good, partially because I want to challenge myself to do something I have never done before. I'm hoping to get it done like they do on the HGTV show, "Design on a Dime," i.e. the cost effective way.

Expect to see pics of our new place very soon. In the mean time, if anyone has any bright ideas I would love to hear them.
