Do you ever look at other homes/women and wonder why they have all that talent and you are stuck with nothin? I sure do. It doesn't help that I read way to many blogs of amazingly talented women. Some are talented decorators, some are good cooks, some are artistic, some are fabulous photographers, some are interesting writers. None of those things apply to me. I keep wondering what is my talent if it's not any of those things and I haven't quite figured it out yet. (If you have please share!) I guess I have some time to figure it out. I WANT to have all of those talents and more, but the best I can do is copy a very small portion of the wonderful things I see. (I'm not too great at copying either) ;)
What got me thinking of this anyway?? Well...my husband has given me an ultimatum. I have to buy a new couch before Christmas for our front room or he's going to do it--the thought of him doing it is worrisome. I have a feeling he'd choose a couch like he chooses shoes--the first pair that fits is the one he buys. I've been supposed to get one for the past couple years, but I just can't find one I love. I want our room to look fabulous and right now it just looks sad. So, in my quest to find the perfect couch I've failed. I have a picture I saved from a magazine of a couch/pillows I love, but the company is out of business now and I can't find anything like it. You know how when you can't have something it makes you want it more? That's how this couch is for me--I just can't let it go for some reason. So, if you are good at designing/decorating I could use your help. I need new inspiration besides this picture so I can find a couch before my husband finds one for me. If you know of any great furniture stores please share! RC willey just isn't cutting it for me right now. I just don't know where else to go.

First of all you are plenty talented. Sometimes it's hard to see it in ourselves though.
Second, there is a furniture store in downtown Springville that my aunt likes. It's on main street. She goes in, finds something good and then orders the item from another company she knows about at 30% off. Check out the store, if you find something good, let me know I'll ask my aunt where she orders from. Good luck. I am the laziest decorator ever. As in I never decorate unless I can do exactly what I have in mind. I hope your living room comes together for you.
Oh man!! I would love that ultimatum. But I struggle with finding just the right thing too. But if I HAD to get a couch, man it sure would be fun to go look! I'll let you know if I find anything.
What Amberly said - you are talented!
Good luck with the couch thing. I'm partial to Ikea and Pottery Barn. I can't wait for Aaron to give me this ultimatum! I desperately want to get rid of our ugly couch.
well now I want to see the couch pic that you love!
Thanks for the comments! I know it isn't too bad of an ultimatum, it's just me being so picky that makes it stressful.
Jennie- I love pottery barn too--but it's so much more expensive and then extra shipping too...I'll have to try Ikea I haven't looked at their couches before.
Tara- I emailed you the picture so you can see.
Tawnie- It will be fun to look if I can get out without little ones tagging along. :)
Amberly-I already commented on your blog asking for your aunt's source if she can share. :)
Have you tried The Four Chairs furniture store? I've heard some good things about them. If you want help, I would love to help you!
By the way, you are talented and a wonderful person!
You're way to hard on yourself. You always remember people's names, you come up with creative recipes, you are always doing fun things, you love BYU creamery ice cream (okay, maybe that's not a talent, but it's still cool).
P.S. I'm too poor to buy furniture so I'm no help in that department.
