Things for the house!

With all the moving and changing and decorating going on in the house preparing for the baby, it is making me think of other ways to better the house... only in my dreams.

I was perusing the anthropologie website looking for 'things' seen as 40's is coming up soon and as I'm sitting in the lounge looking at our tired, dingy rug, thinking how much I would love to replace it for a patterned one, mostly because this one has seen it's day but also, a patterned one would disguise a lot more mess and, I foresee a lot more mess, and stains in our future!!

Fanning foliage rug $498 for a 5 x 7 which
is what I think we would need...

Gloria's garden rug $498 for the 5 x 7

So in our bedroom, our bed is at an angle, and we don't have space for a bedside table either side, so lighting is an issue.. I came across these cool lights that would be ideal for the space, and fix the awkward spacing.

far and wide sconce $348

moving light sconce $198

As I sit here looking at more ways to spend money we don't necessarily have to spend on things for the house, I am aware that there is a repair man in the basement -as I type- fixing our furnace.. another repair for an old house... more $$ spent! I would like a new house now.. again, a girl can dream!
