Decorating Ideas

I have began the process of planning our how we will decorate and furnish our new townhouse (YES, that means we found a place to live!).  First off, the townhouse is 3 bedrooms and near Lenox Village.  I wanted to be in this area because it's pretty close to everything and in a great area.  It's also close to a lot of my friends.   My colors of choice are gray, white, bright lime, bright yellow, and blue.. a light shade and a bright shade.  And birds.  I love birds!  Here are some of the types of items I am loving:

I love Morroccan and Chevron prints



This is the gray sofa and tables we bought for our family room:



I am wanting to buy this area rug from etsy.com


I think I am going to make my own headboard for our new KING size mattress we bought.  Jonathan is going to make the platform bottom part of the bed.  I will for sure let you know what that turns out like! :)

Homeless?


Currently we are in search of a place to live, temporarily, until we buy a house or move out of state.  I like townhouses, Jonathan likes apartments.  It's begining to be very frustrating.  I hope we can come to some agreement.  I feel like the walls are closing in on me inside apartments.  I hate that only one wall has windows.  I also don't particularly like have a lot of neighbors.  Not sure why..  since at Lenox Village I did like that.  I know I want to be by the interstate and I want it to be somewhat easy to get to my parents house in Smyrna too.  I just want to get a place ASAP honestly.  I'll probably give up before he does so.. we'll see where we end up!
