More anxiety Followed by Peace (sort of)

Last week was full of anxiety.  I had doubts about this house we are buying.  As I posted last time I have reservations and I am not sure if there are unfounded apprehensions or something to truly be concerned about.  Either way I was flipped out for several days.  I finally called my realtor (let me add that she is a Christian and I am soooo glad we chose her to help us with this purchase) .  I told her what i was feeling and that i was willing to lose the deposit.  I asked her to look into houses in our current neighborhood.  She did but what she said to me really made the difference.  The Lord used her to put me at ease and remind me that He is in control.  She told me that she had been and continues to pray that God would show us the house that He has for us.  She told me something i KNOW but tend to forget in the midst of my fretting "God knows your future, He knows where you are going to live and which house is going to be yours".  She is absolutely right, HE KNOWS.  So we have decided to move forward with this house that we have a contract and deposit on and our prayer continues to be that the Lord CLOSES the doors for this house if it is not the one HE has for us. 
So now I am just having anxiety about packing.  (I hate packing, moving and everything associated with it).
OF course once we pack, move and unpack the fun begins.  WE get to decorate!!!!
I have so many ideas for all the spaces (I just need to pace myself and the spending).  I need to remember 1 step at a time.  

I have no ideas where i got these pics.  If you know let me know so I can give them credit.  I saved these months ago in an "inspiration" folder on my computer and now I can't find where I got them.
I like this modern/glamorous living room.  I like the blue/grey armless loveseat/chairs  and the white couch (not sure I am the brave).  I love the mirrored sided tables.

Love the mirror front.  I may try to use something like this in the foyer or the living room.

I don't want to overdo the mirror furniture but if i don't use something in the foyer or living room then i think i may go with a mirrored buffet piece in the dining room.

I like this table but can decide what "style" i want in the dining room.


 Of all the spaces we have to decorate the "fashion  divas" room is the one that I have the most concrete ideas for.  The room will be designed around a Romero Britto Art Piece that coach gave in and bought her on one of our trips to Miami.  We were at the Lincoln Road Mall in South Beach and went into the Britto Art Gallery.  It has been hanging in her room for 2 years but now we are using the piece as inspiration.  this isn't the piece that she has but its a representation of his fun, colorful art.  I know it looks like your children can recreate this.  For us it more of  a Miami thing (that's where we are from).   HE is big in Miami (well all over but really well known in Miami).
I will show you more on her room when we move and I can get all the pictures together.
