Guest Room

So my in laws are coming in one month, and we need to buy a bedroom set for the guestroom! We checked out a few places last night but didn't find anything we like. I am leaning towards a white set because it can be our son's room when he's older.. I really don't want to get a dark wood set only because all my furniture is dark and I'm sick of all the dusting!!

Stay tuned...

Vacuum Needed

Okay, I've needed a new vacuum since... well, since forever! When we got married, I moved in with my husband and used the vacuum he had since... since god knows when. Anyway, don't get me wrong, it's a good vacuum, Hoover brand and everything. It's just *SO HEAVY*!!! It wasn't such a big deal in our condo but now it is! Specially as my son gets older and makes more of a mess each day. Doing the stairs is such a pain, I just make my husband do it. And since we carpetted the basement, I suppose I should be vacuuming down there too huh? (lol, well, I haven't)..

So I've been in the market for a new one forever now... I had two suggested to me.. The Dyson Ball and the Oreck.

In the end, I think I'm going with Oreck because:
1. It's so lightweight!! 8 or 9 pounds! That is my main selling point!
2. It's a lot more affordable..
3. They use them in hotels so they must be effective.

Anyone out there with an Oreck care to vouch for it??? Or, God forbid, hate theirs?? Please speak soon because I plan on buying one in the next few weeks. I'm thinking of getting the Classic since the only difference between it and the better models are: the length of the warranty, the handle, and the PRICE!

Barstools came in!

The stools came in, and I'm proud to say, I assembled them completely on my own... However, after putting them in their place, I noticed that three stools would've looked so much better!! So now I have to go back to BB&B and order a 3rd one because the other part of the counter needs one too.

But here are some pics of the two so far.. For some reason, these pics aren't that clear.

Oh, and I should show you pictures of our son's room.. We finally assembled the changing table (I know, early huh) and the room looks so much nicer now :-). I have yet to take a pic of it but will do so soon.

Here are the stools. What do you think? My son LOVES sitting on them hehehe..

Bar stools.. another dream

It's always been a dream of mine to have barstools in my kitchen.. a cozy place to eat my morning cereal, or have a quick snack.
Here is the counterspace where they will go:

After looking at a bunch of stools from Samsclub, Costco, BedBath&Beyond and some local furniture stores, I finally decided on these swivel ones (Hudson stools, BB&B):

What do you think?? I hope they look good. The reason I picked these, and not ones with a wooden frame (as I had wanted before) was because our dinette chairs are similar in style. Here's how our nook looks:

Do you think they match somewhat? Theyre not going to be right next to each other so a little off-coloredness won't matter much hopefully!

I ordered them a few days ago, as soon as they arrive, I'll take a picture so you can see!
