Hi, how was your weekend? Mine was one of those bust-your-ass-but-accomplish-very-little affairs. At least, that's how me and my sore tailbone are feeling this morning (wtf, pregnant ladies?! what is happening to my coccyx?). Sucks to have so much to do and to be so ~~impaired~~ lazy. I did manage to squeeze in two chocolate covered donuts... yay for me! So, what's really going on at Casa Erin? Let's discuss some life decisions I've come up with (thanks to Karly and Naomi for listening to my whiny pleas for advice).

#1. Wallpaper has been selected.

Pheasant in Coral will go in the upstairs hallway, Neisha Crosland's Zebra will go in the entry, and Pines by Little Greene will go in the powder room. It was really tough to decide where these should go architecturally speaking -- e.g., which rooms should be dark or light, what needs small scale or large, what colors will the rooms adjacent to the papered rooms be painted, etc. So I'm very excited to have a (tentative) decision.

#2. The front room will now be a play room instead of an office.

We're going to squeeze the office into the guest bedroom, and I'm pretty stoked that we don't have to put doors on this room anymore. Yipppeeeeee! I'm STILL trying to sell the coffee table, the shelves will get painted, art has been moved, sconces may be installed, leopard rug will make an appearance, and on the opposing wall I think I'm going to buy a vintage deco armoire to house all the toys. Like so:

Or something like this. These come up on craigslist all the time for dirt cheap.

#3. With Sanders' help, I am close to deciding on paint colors for most of the rooms in my house.

MOST. Not all. Ike's room is mostly nailed down, I'm very close on baby room, I have a good start for the bedroom, and maybe I have an idea for the dinette... oh, the dinette.

#4. We sold our good old table (to a blog reader who recognized our house on craigslist!!!) because it was way too big for our new house, and then bought another... ok table.

First, let's say goodbye to old table. She was a beauty.
