One Life Stand

Hubby and I were talking after dinner last night and I mentioned a console table that I saw at Bombay Company that I liked for the foyer.  I saw a nice tablescape on another blog and wanted to do something similar.  Hubby usually doesn’t care how I decorate and gives his approval on anything that isn’t plants.  Yeah the moratorium is still on but it had better be off by spring, darnit.  So last night, his response surprised me.  "I’d rather get curtains for the living room."  Um, since when did you start caring about curtains?

Mind you, the living room is currently empty.  It is going to be the piano room but we have no piano yet and I refuse to set up his keyboard in there (vs the basement).  So curtains were not a part of my immediate plan.  But hubby wants curtains so curtains we will get.  I told him we need to come up an idea of how we want the room to be.  I’m not buying curtains now only to turn around and have to buy more in a different color later.  Of course, this is when his eyes usually start to glaze over…but he finally decided on yellow and brown.  Of course it won’t be yellow and brown, more like gold and chocolate, but I doubt if he knows the difference.  LOL.

So now I need to find two accent chairs so that I can know what color curtains I want.  Then I have to find an occasional table and a lamp because there’s no overhead lighting in that room.  I’m still undecided as to whether or not I want an ottoman and/or a rug.  So who has nice (yet not crazy expensive) chairs???
