I haven't done this in awhile (or posted in some time) so I thought today is a perfect day to do some window shopping. We are about four months away from buying our first home, and as I look at house listings I immediately think about what I would do with the space. How would I decorate it, furnish it, etc.

Our current sofa would be used in the more casual family room. I'd love something small and simple like this sofa for the more formal living room. Maybe anchored by some cute Louis XVI style chairs. I would use more colorful pillows to accent it though.



Okay, okay, technically these are dining room chairs, but you get the idea right? Wouldn't something simple and elegant like these look great flanking the sofa above?

I would love to do a little vignette of cloche jars on the coffee table, console table, or the fireplace mantle. I could change them out each season. A very simple, yet beautiful way to decorate a room.


Of course I would have to add some more comforting elements to welcome guests. I think the Living Room should be a show piece but also inviting as it is the primary room for entertaining guests.

The Family Room is for lying about watching TV in your PJs and sipping coffee, so it's a much more relaxed room. I'll be posting more decor ideas as we continue our hunt for our dream home.
