Hi everyone! As most of my friends know, Dillon and I are currently living with my parents while we wait for a package with the Marine Corps to be approved and to receive new orders. Meanwhile, we are working/ going to school/ and taking care of the kids while planning and dreaming about our next chapter of our lives. A lot of the budgeting/ planning/ saving all falls on my shoulders so I have a lot of lists and plans going on in my head. I figured I have so many things in my shopping carts and bookmarks online, why not share a few of them here for fun? :)
So first I am going to do my living room! It is the room you walk into first typically, so its the first stop in my virtual shopping cart!
I feel I should also mention that the majority of the stuff I want is from Target and IKEA. They're my favorites and typically close to most places, or deliver the things I want! I have also been looking on Wayfair and Overstock!
First, I imagine an entry way bench near the door, with baskets for the kids shoes, our running shoes, and a compartment for dillon's combat boots. I also imagine a stylish mirror, I'm definitely leaning towards a sleek, round mirror. I'll probably keep using hanging baskets like these for mail, keys, etc. last but not lead, obviously some hooks for coats!

Then, in the living room I imagine this really cozy looking sofa from IKEA! I love the calm color, but also equally love the stripes. It just really makes me want to lounge a while on them. I don't want two sofas this time around though, I am actually leaning more towards 2 chairs and some tables for books to go along with the striped sofa.
A large area rug with some color or soft tones would be wonderful to keep the kids' possible messes off of our rental's carpet or flooring. I love art, photos, etc so I imagine a ton of things on the walls, but for this example i kept it simple. I also am obsessed with this tv stand from IKEA. I found a similar one at Home Goods but that one had gold and I was obsessed...

I hope ya'll can see my vision now!
I know these definitely helped my husband see where everything in my head is going.
