So, not that it's anything new but I think I've changed my mind 100 times with this house, between the patio, the furniture, paint colors, accessories. I've returned more things that I bought that's for sure! I made a bunch of changes to the furniture order too, my sales rep at Ahaus probably wants to kill me by now, not to mention my order had to be audited because I changed it so many damn times! But hey, when you are paying that kind of $$ it better be right. I changed the fabric for the ottoman due to a hide delay, the cow that we wanted hadn't been murdered yet apparently :(..., and for fear our kitty will want to pee on it.. I also nixed the console table and end table and opted for a more simple end table and I'm going to get a simple iron and glass console for behind the sectional.
I am also happy to report that the patio is completed, well ALMOST! We are just waiting for the pillar caps to come in, the originals didn't look right according to my husband's uncle who installed the patio, and he said if we're paying that much, they better be right! We also changed our minds on the patio furniture and lay out, we opted for a round 6 person table to put in the circular bump out, this leave tons of room for a section perhaps (until next year...). That was also a pain for the sales people at Macy's, because we paid with gift cards (Fuel perks!), they had to have corporate accounting transfer the funds, but it's on it's way, just have to wait another week!
So below is all of our new selections, along with the semi-finished patio and 2 of the pieces from Arhaus that have been delivered. I will say one thing, I love everything that we are getting from that place but good gosh it takes FOREVER to come in! We now have to wait another 6 weeks for the ottoman, making it a total of 16 weeks! And we are waiting until October just for one tiny dinky little side table, I really wish they stocked more items and were quicker to deliver special orders.
Another note, the shower is "fixed" so they say... but dry wall repairs still not scheduled and I have some lovely mold growing on my walls now.. yay! I'm not happy, because I know it's just going to happen again, the put NO water proofing behind the tile... no hot mop, no membrane, nadda, just cement board and wood, which when wet SWELLS PEOPLE! UGH! I am about to just rip out that whole damn bathroom myself and hire a contractor to re-do it, I would change the layout too and take space out of the master bedroom that is stupid big tpp... well maybe someday...

| The new fabric for the ottoman, it's a sumptuous velvet but it's easy clean and will hide and dirt so no fear of kicking our feet up on it! |
 |
| I love these trays, it gives so much versatility to this ottoman |
 |
| here's the cute little table for in between our accent chairs that we have to wait freaking until October for! ugh... |
 |
| I love how simple this table is, and it holds magazines! My husband now has a place for them rather than on the floor! |
 |
| This chair fits in perfectly, and I can fit 2 of them because they are only 28" wide but they are DEEP, at 39" you can really relax in them! And, I didn't even have to special order because the stocked fabric is so nice, it's very menswear inspired which makes the hubby happy |
 |
| Got the china cabinet delivered and it fits so nice in that space and offers up extra storage! |
 |
| As you can see, we're going to have to raise the mount on the TV this console is TALL! Once neat fact is that is sits on hiden wheels! It makes moving it a breeze since it weighs so much. |
 |
| Here is the Chateau patio set from Macys', a good deal at 1299 with free delivery! We are also getting hte 11' umbrella and base, all in it was around $1700 |
 |
| And here it is! Our patio! I know it's pretty simple but with a budget of 8k, I think we got a good deal, it's all Unilock pavers and Jimi's uncle is very good at what he does, so I'm confident it will stand the test of time! And to boot, we got a brand new back yard pretty much with REAL top soil! |
