My first steps into adulthood

***WARNING***

**THIS WILL BE A LONG POST**

*:)*

So, back in August I started looking for houses in the Winder area. I have been living back at home for almost two years and am ready to take the next step to adulthood, buying a home of my own.  

I know how much I am loved because everyone I come in contact with is super excited about coming along in the process with me. I can not tell you how many people have offered to help paint, pack, move, shop, decorate, throw housewarming parties, and spend the night with me. 

I chose a home back in August and started the house buying process. It was a short sale that turned into a not-so-short sale! I was getting overly frustrated with the waiting process and decided to start looking for other options. 

The day I started looking I found a house that I loved, in a nice neighborhood, with familiar neighbors. 

I found the house, viewed the house, made an offer on the house, and got a contract on the house all in the same day. This is how house-buying is supposed to go. 

So, after a long process....I should close on my new place on or before February 11th, YAY!

Now that the time is upon me...the things I've been putting off, have to be done like buying furniture, picking out paint and fabric, and tying up all the loose ends.  

I have decided to blog my way through the buying, decorating, moving, and settling. Hopefully you will share the journey with me. I will try to blog about each room in my house as it comes together nicely.

Today my parents and I ventured to The Real Deal in Jefferson to check out furniture options for my new home! 

I have been thinking about decor for a while now....since I started looking at houses back in August to be exact. 

 I went today without the intention of buying anything but merely pricing the furniture to search out the most bang for my hard-earned buck.

Here is the room of the day:

THE LIVING ROOM

I have decided on a Red, Black, and Khaki living room and from the start knew I wanted red couches to spruce up the room.

I failed to take my camera with me today and therefore only had my phone to take actual pictures of the things that I bought. The pictures I'm posting below are from the internet. 

I found two red couches!!! 

They are made by the same company but one is a sofa bed and one is not. They have only slight differences and I'm using two couches instead of one and a love seat.

This is #1. Imagine it with black and white pillows! 

Couch #2 is the same red but the picture on the website is khaki!

The only differences are the arms and legs!

Next I found my coffee and end tables. I really, really like these!

Here are all three together:

I had already gotten a khaki chair-and-a-half and ottoman for the living room that is also made out of the same microfiber material. I am so excited and can't wait to put it all together with the black, khaki, and red decor I've already purchased. 

Now all I need is an entertainment center for my TV. This could prove a major task because I am PICKY!!! (Surprise, Surprise)

I hope these blogs will not be boring for you to keep up with. I really enjoy writing them and recapping my trek to adulthood.
