Getting ahead of myself

{Image from Lonny mag issue #5}

I always take it one step too far. Or never a step far enough. Most times I feel out of sync but usually in the end I'm right on time. Does any of that makes sense? I hope so because it does to me. 'Memba way back when I mentioned that we were house hunting for a bigger space? And sadly we did not get said space? Well what I didn't mention or maybe I did - age and children does not make a good combination for my memory - is that in true to me fashion I had already designed and decorated every square inch of that house. Oh it was going to be a beauty! So I was shocked and dismayed when reality was not in sync with my plans. What the hell?? Fast forward almost a year and we are once again in the market for a new house. We've narrowed down potential neighborhoods and once again are stalking places of interest. I want to say there are 2 under serious consideration. One that would fit the bill of what we need next in a house perfectly. Time will tell.

But back to the point of this post. Since a new house is in our not-so-distant future I'm doing it again. Picking out furniture, paint colors and knick-knacks. That cart is before the horse again. Our current house if full of warm colors. Darker hued browns, reds, greens. Nice but my palate has changed and with the next place I want cooler colors mixed with some whites and creams. I definitely want to inject some pinks, purples, yellow (yes this is warm but so what), greys, and blues. Serena and Lily's newest catalog sums up exactly what I want in our space. I have a ton of inspiration pics filed away and when the time is right (as in ink dried on a contract). I'll share. Until then I'll keep fabric shopping in my dreams. Over and over again.
