AsSalamu' Alaykum,
My dream home would hands down have to be a Cape Cod.

So. Perfect. Add a vegetable garden and I'm set. InshaAllah. InshaAllah. InshaAllah.
I also greatly favor Colonial Revivals:
Anyway, that's not for a couple more years, in the meantime- it's only a few more weeks before we start our hunt for an apartment! I'm excited. I already started looking at some pieces of furniture. We're on a real tight budget, but I'm being a good sport about it!, so I'm looking towards Ikea & Pier 1 to furnish our apartment. The main colors I'm looking at is wood and pure crisp white [pink &/or yellow accenting].

Add a few pillows [such as

2] to the couch and it's the set.

Oh oh and this Armoire from Targets Simply Chic is GORGEOUS
Since I plan on adopting a kitten once we settle in, InshaAllah

, I thought this, from WalMart, was a pretty nifty way to slightly conceal the litter box. Of course I wouldn't have it all up in the kitchen or family room- but instead in the laundry room or bathroom.
