One of my favorite things about moving is the opportunity we get to "refresh" some of the pieces in our home. Whether it's furniture or decor, it's fun to breathe some new life into your space. You know, because living in an entirely new house in an entirely new state isn't different enough... ;)
Don't get me wrong, it is hugely important, that we make each house our "home" by maintaining some level of continuity, no matter how sort the stay -- but that's a whole separate post entirely.
We don't currently have any major purchases planned for this house, but there are a few things that we have either been keeping an eye out for or we've realized we need to accommodate our new space.

The new house in Arizona has a very southwest vibe. (Blended with the standard military housingappealaestheticflare --ness. You feel me, right? ;) HAHA! It's really not that bad.) One of the things we love about our new home is that there is not one inch of carpet! With two dogs and two young kids, we always vote hard no on carpeting. In place of carpet however, the builders chose a fugly faux spotted tile... Area rugs, we are going to need a few area rugs. I try to keep the overall style within our home pretty neutral a so the look (and durability) of jute rugs are what I'm gravitating towards.
We've been in need of two additional chairs for our dinning room table and I think these metallic black ones are perfect. I love their versatility--kitchen table, outdoor patio, playroom, just wipe 'em down and move on!
I sold our large floor mirror before we moved and I'm wanting to replace that in a hurry! Standing on a random stool to see my full outfit in the bathroom mirror is bound to end in some sort of humiliating injury... How amazing is this one?!
Other than that I'm just wanting to grab a couple of odds and ends like throw pillows and candles. Oh! And fans. Lots of fans. It's H-O-T in Arizona. Who knew?
