My new project - for non-existent spare time.

OK, so I have professed my girl crush for AB Chao and her design acumen and general Louisiana girl awesomeness.  Well, she has inspired me to hit our guest bedroom HARD with some design style.  I do not profess to have any design acumen of my own, but with her guidance, and guidance from her bloggy friends, I will create something.  Hopefully something nice.  I really want to abandon tan and khaki and EMBRACE colors.  My dear, dear husband is a wonderful man, but he really loves brown, tan, khaki and everything in between.  I have tried, in all my decorating endeavors to include him in decisions, but I have decided at last that this is the one room I want complete design control over.  When I'm done, he will realize that he has been wrong to live in a tan world all these years.  

So on our local craigslist, Woodlandsonline.com, I have been scouting some interesting furniture pieces that I can paint a great color to add to my design.  I'm really digging painted furniture right now.  Here are some examples:
From Martha Stewart
From The Southern Eclectic

I found a cute piece on WOL, but I'm not going to fall in love with it yet, since someone might snatch it up... As usual, I will keep you posted.
