Hubby and I always figured our tastes were pretty simple. Wood, clean lines, darkish wood with a touch of red. So we start looking at assorted furniture places around here and online. Eek. I never knew our tastes were platinum-plated and diamond-studded in the budget department. We aren’t ready to buy just yet so we might be able to recover from the sticker shock by the time we have to actually get some of this stuff.

It’s been a busy weekend. Yesterday signed all the mortgage paperwork. Today put in the taxes, which can’t be finalized until we get a statement that won’t be happening until mid-February. Both days check out furniture in assorted places, looking at ideas and possibilities, mostly. Spend the rest of the day with heads spinning madly.
