Kevin and I are still saving our pennies for a house. I'm happy to report that as of this entry, we are at 28.88% of our goal -- this after saving for less than three months! We're terribly proud of ourselves. We keep looking at houses, but it's truly just looking at this point as we really aren't even considering making any sort of purchase until the end of this year or beginning of next. Hopefully, not only will home prices have fallen even more by that time, but mortgage rates will have followed. For some odd reason, though housing is going down, mortgage interest rates are going up. Go figure.
Anyway - in the meantime we've been making plans here and there, looking at buying a few pieces of furniture or things for the new place. Last week we bought a matching nightstand for our bedroom set. We already had one nightstand but thought that two gave the whole suite a more finished look. As luck would have it, the furniture we have was still available so we were able to buy the matching nightstand without a problem. Well, techninally there were problems however, they were more customer service fiascos (of the losing the furniture variety) -- but that's another entry for another day. We also bought a new comforter set for the bedroom. Though we love the one we have - bought for a fabulous price five years ago when we painted the bedroom - we decided it would be nice to have another one to swap out from time to time. Where the older set is a deep, rich burgundy color, the new one is a taupe/green color with burgundy accents. We put it all together tonight and dressed the bed. We think it looks terrific, even if we do say so ourselves!

Randa, I love your bedroom. It looks so classy. Glad to hear that the saving for a new home is going so well. You are moving right along and at this pace will be where you want to be in no time at all.
