Things I'm Dying to Have For My House

I cannot wait to have my house decorated the exact way I have envisioned in my head. The one thing that keeps me working at my current job even though it's not my favorite job is the thought that I will get my pension in August after I've been there for 5 years. An eternity. (Most people don't even last a year.) With my pension I plan on getting a few of things that I've been wanting for a LONG time and lusting after in my Ballard Designs and Pottery Barn Catalogs month after month. I really want my main floor of my house to French Country Shabby Chic with a navy and oatmeal color palatte. Then for the woods I want to mix and match antique white woods with espresso. Needless to say once it is complete it will be wonderful!

I love these chairs for in my living room:



Then I want to get this couch and have ruffle skirt added around the bottom of it:



That's my living room... the current furniture will go down in the basement. Then for my dinning room I want it to look like this:




But with this color of table:



And these chairs:



I need this table because it has a leaf, and my current table just isn't big enough for when I have all of my family over for dinner, and I love to cook. While we are speaking of cooking... I love this china. I think it will be soo pretty with my cobalt blue fiestaware I currently have and it will mix and match well together with my current china:





Finally I LOVE this and have been in love with it for over 2 years now and it is longing to have a home on my landing on the way to the 2nd floor of mi casa.





Except I want it in cream with gold accents, as pictured at BallardDesigns.com
I couldnt get the picture of the cream with gold accents large enough to be able to post it on here.
