Doing anything new at home?

Tuesday I wrote that I wanted a rug. I went right over to Pier 1 and got one, lol. Now that I see how home-y it made the living room I want more! I want a warm and inviting living room, and a calm relaxing bedroom. I have a problem with colors though. I take colors that I think are pretty and put them together- even if they don't match. I'm trying out some websites to help me make sure the colors I see in my head actually go together. I'm envisioning a fall living room and a winter bedroom. If I ever finish, I'll post pictures.

 

The other thing I've been thinking about a lot is a dog. I want one now. We've always talked about getting one, but I wasn't ready. Now that I'm ready, TheCount is holding me up. There is an animal shelter right by our house, my job, and my parent's house, like within less than a mile. I'll probably go to the one by my job today at lunch. I want a big brown dog. I think I want a boy because I love the name Maximillian, but if it's a girl she'll be named Dog-E. I have my eye on one in particular, but we'll see how it goes.

 

This is the color scheme I have planned for the living room. While I was typing this post I realized that I saw my color scheme all through the Pier 1 circular so I went to their website and found these beauties:

 

 

 

I can't handle all that color in a bedroom, but I do like these wall decorations for our room:

 

They'll really fit because I already have wall art that reads "Love is spoken here" wait, let me see if I can find it. Well I can't find it, but take my word for it. It'll be pretty.
