Designer’s Eye

I have noticed that lately I have frequently visited a lot of blogs that have to do with home improvements and interior design. Since I swapped rooms with my sisters, Jonathan and I have a lot of space so we’ve been planning on how to decorate our room. Needless to say, I have found a lot of inspiration. One thing that really surprised me that I am drawn to is leather! Yes, I love leather whether it be couches, a leather headboard, or even leather bar stools. I don’t know why but ever since my friend had a leather couch and I slept on it, I fell in love. I also went furniture shopping with the hubby and we have picked out a gorgeous bed with a leather headboard and I am so excited about the prospect of either purchasing it or we have been playing around with the idea of making our own fabric covered headboard which is another obsession of mine. Let me also mention how my new obsession has rubbed off on my mom who just replaced our old bar stools with leather bar stools. They are so comfortable, too. I hated sitting on our old bar stools because they were wooden and made my butt hurt but these make my butt happy.

My best friends have just rented a house and they are going to be moving next weekend. It’s really strange because my best friend has been dating Kela for going on three years and now Kela and I are best friends as well. In fact, Kela has been staying with us this past week since at their current place they don’t have cable or internet so there is nothing to do while Jon works full-time. In that amount of time we have been planning out some little things we can do to spruce up their house. I am happy to say the new house already has a set of leather bar stools at the kitchen island so there isn’t much to do in there. Their house has beautiful hardwood floors and she has a lot of decor items. Now it’s just filling her house with pictures of the two of them and other knickknacks to make it their own.

I cannot wait until Jonathan and I have our own house to decorate. I already have so many plans for it and not to mention color schemes picked out! I just want a place to call our own and for Grayson to have his own room as well. That baby has earned a bedroom of his own!
