THE BASICS
Flooring. No picture needed to offer visual aid for that. Tile for the bathroom, kitchen, and service porch; laminate for the living room, hall, office, and bedroom. Still trying to convince Scott on that last one. Would you really want to have a vacuum for just one room?
Counter space. Not logistically possible.
A dining table. Might need to go custom with this. The shortest, narrowest, skinniest place to put a few plates and utensils is all I ask. Or a short 2 x 4 might do the trick.
Why are dining tables so expensive? And then you have to buy multiple chairs to go with them. That is one lucrative industry.
Ergonomic office chairs. I think this is considered a rather indulgent expense, but for as much time as we spend on the comp, it seems like a great value.
I actually want to paint the office a shade of teal with one wall done in chalk board paint. Red accents with flowers and desk accessories, so perhaps what's left on our wedding gift card from C&B can be utilized...
A pretty, landscaped backyard to have people over and entertain.
The list actually goes on much further than Santa's gift list, but I'm learning that if I take on too much I hyperventilate. So we'll leave it at that for now.

Oh wow, woman. Do I ever hear you on how if you put too much on the housing to-do list, you'll break down and have a heart attack. I'm not kidding when I say our to-do list is probably a thousand miles long. I'm not sure how we're ever going to get there. It's sort of terrifying! But like, I feel better knowing that like, at least we've purchased some furniture, and things are getting decorated slowly! We should seriously compare housing notes sometime :)
Also--I feel like MAYBE I granted you access to read my friends-only entries on LJ? I can't really tell--it's all very weird with the OpenId logins? Anyway, I think possibly if you're logged in to your blogger account, you might see my blog entries that are private? I update way more often than it actually shows :) But thanks for swinging by and checking it out!!
Found you via That Wife and came over because you live in Orange County. We live in Long Beach. :)
Super cute blog.
I love CB2 and Crate & Barrel!
