Decorating for Dummies

I think I need the book... I've probably changed my mind regarding decorating more times than I've changed my underwear in the past two months - well that's probably an exaggeration - you hope at least! ha!

At first, I wanted to go with cool gray walls, black furniture with hints of taupes and blues. However, the rest of the house resisted this color pallette. To start, the tile, which is probably 40% of the house is mostly brown. Jeff and I painted some gray on the wall - to see if it would work - but it's just not happening. And since it's cheaper to change the paint than the tile, I figured we'll go another route.

Jeff and I returned the beautiful blue rugs that we received as a gift last month. I was sad to see them go, but I knew they weren't going to work. So we bought some neutral rugs that have more earthy tones. I think it looks good. Once we get some paint on the walls and hang some pics in the hallways, things will hopefully look better. Hopefully.

Wish I knew someone who was a professional at this type of stuff...

You and me both, babe! I've lived in the same place for a year and a half and still haven't fully decorated. A professional would be great right about now....

Good luck!!
