We found a carpet at West Elm for the family room, so now I think we'll decorate the kitchen/family room with blues and browns. We are also planning on ordering a large square leather ottoman for the family room. With a tray on top, it can serve as a coffee table as well as an ottoman and be baby/kid safe.
We got a couple of quotes for the backyard from some contractors, and have decided to hire a landscape designer first. The designs we got were simplistic and after seeing a few completed homes I don't feel they know enough about plants. I want plants that don't require a lot of maintenance, will survive (!), and will look good. Simple things like cut outs in the concrete, having varying heights of plants, etc really make a difference in the appearance of the yard. We aren't looking to do anything crazy, just a patio, grass, retaining wall, and builtin bbq.
Unfortunately our consultation isn't until June 24th so that means it won't be until July before we get the plans, and then we have to submit to the HOA and hire a contractor. I'm not sure we'll have a yard by the time the baby arrives.
