So Jeff and I started house hunting yesterday, which is something that I have secretly and not so secretly been waiting to do for a long time. I’ve been trying to keep myself quiet in a lame attempt not to psych myself out, but if you are my close friend you know that I’ve been yapping about buying a house for far too long. I am so stoked that it is finally happening. We are looking at houses in the Uptown/Kingfield neighborhoods of MPLS, MN, so if you live there already, I can’t wait to be your neighbor. We haven’t found “The One” just yet but I can’t help but day dream about all of them. Hence, the image above.

This is my first idea for a future bedroom. Here’s how it breaks down:

Since we’re on a budget we’ll put our bed on a simple bed frame (no more Ikea Malm bed!). We’ll buy a cooler bed frame sometime down the road. The bedding will be basic and white, (I know, bad idea with a kid). We currently own a handmade white quilt thanks to my grandma — we’ll just need to add other linens and shams from Target and we’ll be set. The main pieces will be this Jonathan Adler pillow and this vintage granny square quilt which I just purchased on ebay for 14.99 (couldn’t resist). The walls will be painted yellow to remind us of our first apartment we had on 26th and Garfield. If anyone feels like donating a pair of Nelson bubble lamps I would think that you were awesome. I’ll scour craigslist until I find the perfect mid-century end tables/night stands. And lastly we’ll have FLOR hook us up with a tile rug. Yup, I think we’re ready to move.

Just a heads up, I’m guessing this is not the only time you will hear me talk about my future house with it’s future rooms and future possibilities.
