I've got the itch....

to re-decorate! :) I am starting to think about what I can do differently in our apartment. I really want to change things up. I have always liked the coffee, cafe theme and every time I go to the store I say how I think I want to change our kitchen stuff to that. At our last place we had the little fat Italian chef decorations and those are really cute but I don't think I can look at one more little Italian guy haunting me on my pot holder and soap dispensers. My Mom is really bad about finding out that you like something and then every chance she gets she buys you that thing. The worst part is that she doesn't quite pay attention if it matches either. Anything and everything with the little fat chef on it we now probably own.

I have been thinking about changing our living room decorations as well. Right now it's just sort of plain with dark browns and maroons. I think I will take it one room at a time and see how it goes. So this Friday we are going to check out the Ikea store in West Chester. We looked online last night and they have some really cool stuff. I am going to go make a list, so when we get back from vacation I know what my project will be. :) Wish us luck...I think we are going to need it.
