In preparation of hitting the ground running, I already have some my new decor purchases and compiled mood boards for the living and dining rooms. They are crude and elementary, otherwise, I would love to share them but I'll spare your eyes.
I will be a busy bee during the first weeks of living in our new home. One of the first projects I will be tackling are the old bathrooms that haven't been updated. I will have to paint and/or reglaze two of the clawfoot tubs.
This is an idea.. I really like the look of this...so pretty. Do I have to use a special paint for this? I'm not sure. A trip to Home Depot is in order.
Also, I will have to make our old sinks look pretty, so I'm thinking of a sink skirt..maybe made from taffeta.
The sinks currently look similar to this:

Another project I'm sure that I will have to tackle are windows. While, I'm sure many of the windows will don pretty panels, like this:
Again, no sewing could be an issue but thanks to this no-sew DIY tutorial, I'm confident I can do it.
Another window treatment I would like to occupy my home is this:
I don't know what kind a treatment that's called but I LOVE it!

I'm selling my house, my close is 3/10/2011. My wife and I never agreed on appliances or fixtures or anything like that. I've always just let her have her way.
