Started Decorating

Well, so far I am off to a good start for my New Year’s resolution. Andy and I decided to check out Kirkland’s to see if we could find a floor lamp for our living room. It turned out to be a great trip and a great start to my goal of decorating our house. We found a new floor lamp, new bed side table lamps, floor length mirror and one of those tall cylinder things that you put “stick” looking things in them. Ok, I am sure that was not a great description so I took a picture of it.

This was a stressful buys and we bought this at Michael’s. On Friday night we stopped at Michael’s as I needed to purchase two baskets and while we were there we passed the aisles that sold this kind of stuff. We perused the aisled and after discussion we decided on the one pictured above. It was a tough call since Andy and I are both not into decorating and really have no clue what to do. I was worried that we wouldn’t like it once we got home, but I was pretty pleased with what we decided on.

Another purchase was bed side table lamps. We have wanted to get these for quite some time. We have looked for a while, but could not find anything we liked or just were unsure of the style we found. We found these ones on clearance at Kirkland’s and were even more pleased once we set them up at home and how great they looked. Here are pictures so you can see the lamps we picked out.

We also bought a new floor lamp and floor length decorative mirror at Kirkland’s and got it home and just loved it. It turned out to match our living room perfectly. The mirror is going to replace the crappy one that is in our hallway. I was pretty impressed with our shopping ability and decorating. I couldn’t believe we were able to pick the items we did and everything worked out perfectly in one try. Maybe with a team effort between Andy and me this decorating thing won’t be so bad after all. I will keep you posted as we continue to get things organized and decorated.
