Voting time...

I'm pretty sure I've asked just about every one of you out there for an opinion, but I need some help! I've narrowed down my likely couch selections to 4 varieties - and here they are in no particular order:

The Rochelle

The Cannes

The Grace

The Petrie

Now keep in mind, those colors are not exactly what I would select. I'm looking for a creamy white or very light tan. I want to keep it light and neutral. Though I'm starting to fall for the Silvery color that is on the Cannes... If you click the link to each sofa, you'll see that each couch except the Grace has the same fabric - and therefore color options. For those three I'm leaning to either Natural or Silver Sage. The Grace couch is it's own nightmare that I would get in the light celery or oatmeal color.

I'm pretty much in love with all of the above - but I think I've picked my favorite. Can you?

I found it!!

It's perfect. Well... maybe not perfect, but it's perfect for now. I have decided upon a nice little 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom apartment in Seven Palms. If you select the "Floor Plans" option, I'm in the Belize floor plan.

Its a little smaller (the kitchen is a little smaller, the bedroom is a little smaller, and the bathroom doesn't have the big tub), but for the price I can't go wrong. I can still have room for Thanksgiving dinner! Which yes - I've already claimed it amongst my friends. And depending on family plans, Christmas may be there too. :) We'll see. Heaven knows that Dana has a point - what else will I do with all of those Christmas decorations???

And besides ... this way I can buy an expandable dining room table and have hosts (okay, like 8 maybe) of people over for a dinner party which I have been itching to have since I learned that I can fake it with lamb and make it passable. :-P

But I'm super duper excited to be setting out all on my own for the first time in Houston and I'm even more excited to go FURNITURE SHOPPING!! That is quite possibly even more exciting than deciding on a place...

Stay tuned for more Erin Home Updates - I promise. You should be almost a third as excited as I am. It's worth it.

Moving on ... and out!

It's official. I lasted a year in the roommate realm, and we had a lot of good times. But it's time for me to move on. So I'm getting my own place!

I'm very excited. Even though I HATE moving and I'd hoped the next move would be to a place I own, I've come to grips with reality. I'll be finding an apartment that I can live with for at least another year and I can't wait! I'm still looking around a bit, though I think I've narrowed the field to three possibilities. As soon as I settle on my new home, you all will be some of the first to know! :)

So wish me luck, and hopefully I'll be seeing some of you soon at the new place!

Soon - I promise...

A fresh new post will be arriving shortly. I promise. Pinky swear. (And the power plug on my laptop died - I'm totally using that one as my excuse.)
