Well, rates are now back down to 6.18%. It's so weird how they fluctuate so much. So we're still planning on getting the house ready to sell. We picked out some paint swatches for the living room. The main color will be swiss coffee, which is a light beige color and the wall with the fireplace will be a shade darker with water chestnut -- it sounds dark, but it's very light tan - a little darker than the swiss coffee color for the rest of the room. They are in the same color family, so they will compliment each other. We picked out some pergo for the entry foyer last night. Our fireplace mantle is a walnut color, as is the half wall for our steps to the basement, so we'll do the walnut color pergo in the foyer. We also priced carpet for the livingroom, hallway, and steps at Lowe's. We'll look around and see what other deals there are. I think Matt's going to put in walnut-stained window sills in the living room. We did that in our old house and it made a huge difference in how the house looked. And it's not too expensive, so it'll be one small thing we can do to make the house look nice.
We'll see what the rates do as we get closer to putting our house up for sale. If they stay under 6.5%, we'll go for it. If not, we'll just wait until they go back down. And the house will be painted and with new carpet and new flooring and the bathroom being done, it will look great and at least we'll get something out of it! lol
I think we'll do a blue in Ally's room to coordinate with her border so that we don't have to remove it. I just bought her a new bedding set. It was regularly $79 at Penney's, but it was on sale for $59 and I had a few coupons and free shipping coupon code, so i ended up getting it for $27! Awesome deal.
Here's a picture of it. It's so cute. It's reversible, so it can look like the bed on the left or the bed on the right. It's very girlie, without being too young. I thought that she was ready for a more big-girl look.
