change

It's hard to believe that a little over a year ago we moved in together and our living room looked like this:

which changed to this,

and this...

and finally, this:

Our main problem right now is our matching bachelor pad faux leather sofas and Ikea coffee table. We're 99.9% sure this is the couch we're going to get:

I was going to purchase this ottoman, but the shipping was going to cost as much as the piece itself, so I've had to scout out other options. I really love this wooden table with lucite legs, but unfortunately it's only available to the trade (boo). So I'm keeping an eye out for something similar.

Still trying to decide if I can pull off a rug without wooden floors.

Also, our walls in all of our rooms are a mess. I feel like the scale of everything is just... wrong. It's way too small, so I'm trying to figure out what to do there, too. We have this gigantic mirror that I'm trying to decide where to hang.

I also still love these pillows.

I'm also looking for a perfect pair of chairs. Anyone?

I hate that I'm being so indecisive about decorating our apartment, but I want to make sure that I really know what I want before we invest in something that's going to be with us for a few years. I'm having a love/hate relationship with Pinterest right now, because just as soon as I think I've made up my mind about which direction I want to go, I find something completely different that I love.

Here are a few pictures from last weekend. I was still recovering from my horrible cold, so we kept it pretty low key (i.e. boring).

Toby hanging out in our apartment's new dog park!

Toby says thank you for the homemade dog treats, Aunt Caroline and Uncle Sean!!

Are you ever out and decide to go out to eat, but can't decide where? That was us last weekend when we drove by this place and decided to try it out.

I guess it's pretty much fast food, but this place had some seriously yummy ice cream and veggie burgers!

We finally got a new dryer to replace our dying 1980's hand-me-down.

 We replaced our dead washing machine last year, and thankfully we were able to find this matching dryer on clearance! It's so quiet and dries in half the time. I guess you know you're officially old when getting a new dryer makes you excited.

pink

My girly dreams have come true... They make hot pink (!!!) extension cords, along with some other fun neon colors. Of course, you'll have to pay for that prettiness. These suckers aren't cheap. I tell Charlie all the time that I need to start a business that takes normal, ugly "man" things, that girls also have to use, and makes them pretty. I just know I could make a lot of money!
