Never have been one to count my eggs before they have fully hatched, but in the case of my house I'm pretty sure I can put all of them in one basket.  (That was painful to write that many cliches in one sentence. )

Used my lovely Sunday afternoon to wonder aimlessly about Ikea to get ideas for what I would want in my house.  Got some good ideas as far as furniture for my living room and second bed room.  Probably won't fork out the dough for Ikea furniture but at least I can start visualizing what I'd like to have.

For a couch I would probably want something similar to this. The link for this couch is:  http://www.roomstogo.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=showItem&ipac_id=36886  One of the things I have come to discover I am a big fan of is a Chaise.  They work nicely when you can connect them onto a couch like the picture above.  Most versions of the chaise/couch combination at Ikea that I saw had the ability to switch sides or be free standing, and I really like that idea.

That couch also has a pull out sleeper inside the couch.  I'm think of getting just a small sleeper sofa for the second bedroom for guests to use when they come over.  Then I can still have the guest room to use as an 'office' but also a place to keep quests.  Plus if I had a big couch like the one above in the living room people could sleep on that too!

Who knew having a house could make one so excited about buying furniture!
