Furniture Shopping

So it has been a crazy couple weeks, but I'm thrilled with the progress that we've made both on the wedding planning and house furnishing fronts.

First of all, we have set a date!!! July 30, 2011 at the PhilBrook in Tulsa. We are going to keep the wedding small but I'm totally excited and only a little stressed out. I'm going to be posting more about the PhilBrook soon, but here is a picture that I absolutely love......

I think my colors are going to be light grey, green and yellow....we should blend right in!
Moving on, two weeks ago today, Barry and I closed on our wonderful new beauty of a house. And we had nothing to put in it. I have been living in a 700 sq foot apartment for the past 4 years. So we didn't have much. So....this weekend we went shopping and while we still have a lot of little decoration stuff to get, we got the big stuff.

Here are some pictures of the new stuff (Which will hopefully be delivered in the next couple of weeks, hopefully before sneak!!!!)

Most important, was a new washer and dryer and refrigerator. We got these beauties at Lowe's. Plus they were 10% off and we got 10% cash back, so we were able to buy quite a few garden hoses!!

I have already ruined our new bath mats with this baby...but I'm sure our relationship will improve over time!

She's pretty!
Then this weekend we picked up an entry way table, and a runner, but we have decided against the runner, so this is what you will see waking in the front door.
I'm so in love with this entry way table for some reason, but I just can't help it.

Barry's/Our office will get a new desk, book shelf and file cabinet.
Sorry these pictures kinda suck, you will get to see the real thing when everything gets delivered.
We have a very open floor plan so we had to get a couple tables, the loved both of them, which I think in a couple months of furniture shopping these tables were one of the first things we both loved at first site. Which is huge, refining our styles has been fun but challenging at times!!

This guy will have 4 pub chairs that swivel and have nice cushy leather seats! He will be in our kitchen nook.

Mr. Wanderlust will have six all wood chairs. But we really loved the feet of this table. I think we like the craftsman style.

Moving on to the living room, we needed a sectional to take up some of the room that my current couch can't fill. Also I have a dark leather couch that is just too heavy for the room. So we wanted to lighten it up, so we bought a new sectional with this fabric.

It has some goldish hue's to it, so it should really help lighten the place up!
Then we got a new TV stand and ottoman, so my old crap can go up stairs to "Stu's Room/Man Cave"


Overall, it has been a really fun process, now I just am excited to get all the new stuff in and start to decorate around it. I'm even more excited for the wedding so Barry can move in and we can enjoy it together, cause right now, I'm taking all the fun!

  2. The wedding venue looks spectacular Katie! You've accomplished so much already! And yes, meshing each other's styles is always fun. Brian and I always get in an argument when we go furniture shopping! :)
