I have
two questions for you all:
1- Is my picture slideshow working for you? If it looks like a black screen that says something like, Create Your Own Slideshow, click the play button on it. Now is it working?
2- I need decorating tips. Blake and I are closing on a house on Monday!!! Fun!!! It is an old ranch-style home, one story. We are very excited. But, we do not want to CLUTTER it up and we do not want to just THROW furniture/decorations in there. So, I am going to post a picture of our family room and kitchen first. Blake thinks we should do a "cabin" theme for the family room. The fireplace will be covered in a faux-stone layer so it wont be BRIGHT red anymore soon. The question is - where should I put things, and how should I decorate the walls and fireplace?
This picture is our family room. The entryway from the front door is the far right opening in the wall. The far left opening is to the bedrooms. They staged this room as a weird kitchen, but we are going to put a big rug down and make it the family room... if you aprove! When we move in, there will be no china cabinet on that far wall, and no paintings on the side wall.
Okay, this is a view of the family room from the entryway. Remember, there will be stone on the fireplace, no table, no plant, no nothin. I need your suggestions.
And this is a view from the far end of the kitchen into the family room. I am thinking of putting the kitchen table right here to the left.
And here is the kitchen. That ugly little table wont be there anymore, and the decoration above the sink is part of the backsplash.
Items to place: KITCHEN TABLE/4 CHAIRS, SOFA, LOVESEAT, 2 END TABLES, COFFEE TABLE, OLD BIG SCREEN TV (hand-me-down), AND WALL HANGINGS (options - large family picture, 2 large temple pictures, and a large collage of Jesus Christ). Also, I have a bunch of little willow statues. Okay, so where should I put it all, according to your opinion?

danielle,
i'm not really sure where to put things...i actually rearrange my rooms about 27 times a year. i think i like the change, or the challenge...or maybe it takes me 27 moves until i find the arrangement i like.
but i love your house. our house in california was an old ranch style and i wish they had those here in utah--such a charming style!
congrats on buying a house, and don't be bummed if you don't get all your things up on the wall immediately. we've been in our house 2.5 years and still have hardly anything on the walls. and i get compliments for it all the time. go figure!
Danielle, this house is gorgeous! I can't wait until I can come see it :) .... I'll think more about where you should put things, but I just wanted to tell you i love it for now.
WOw, your home is beautiful. Can we come and stay in it with you some time. You will do it the right way. Your town house is done up really pretty.
Good luck with everything and your slide show is working now!
THAnks cute picture's!
That house is gorgeous! I am jellous! I cant help you decorate, but I love it! It is huge! good job! Caleb is so cute! We need to set our babes up on a date! haha
slide show is lookin' great! love the new home! goo dluck decorating! can't wait to see what you do with it. takes a while to really fill up the walls and stuff. don't feel like you have to do it all at once.
