Furnishing Our House

We've been in our new house for over five months now and I still feel like we're settling in. I realize that things aren't going to be how you want them for a long time...but I am getting a little stir crazy.  I want to hang more stuff up, make more curtains, organize, and make it feel more like home.  That's all fun for me, but I've just been overwhelmed with all the different ways it could look, that I don't do anything at all.

Here's a few pieces of furniture I like.  I'd love to get a few book shelves for the living room and our bedroom.  I still havn't found our tv stand that I've been looking for over a year now. I guess I'm just too picky!

Wall shelves

We have a very blank wall in our house. It's one of those big empty walls that is just really intimidating. I havn't known what to do with it. It is white and would be fun with just about anything on it...that's the problem.  Too many choices.  I think I'd like to just have some big simple shelving.  Here are a few I found that I like. 

 Hope you enjoy...

How to choose a TV Stand

We have been using a dresser for our tv stand as a fill in until we find the one we want. It's been a tough choice for me for some reason.  Justin wants functionality and I want cute.  I think he has the better argument here, but it's still a tough one to sometimes mix the two.  I'm trying to find something with some open shelving and some closed to hide cords, movies, remotes, etc.

Here are a few I've come across.  I like parts about all of them.

I know this isn't a t.v. stand, but I was just telling Justin it could be neat to have a whole built-in on one wall to hide the t.v. when we weren't using it.  Something like this could be really neat.  I LOVE this room!

Our Last Patio Pics

As I've been saying, we have been looking for a house to buy and I think we may have found one!  I'll let you know when we find out for sure.   We are so truly blessed to have been able to live here for the past few years.  We love this little farm house, but are looking forward to having our own place.  I wanted to spruce up our front porch one last time before we left.  I will miss sitting out there watching the rain or the sunrise...or the cows=)   It is truly beautiful in the country! The house we found does have a nice back yard and there is a big open field beyond it. We're so hoping it works out.  So glad it's all in God's hands.  Here are some pics of our porch and some other cute things I came across.
