Update/Favorite Things:Muir Woods

I have been obsessed with home decorating shows lately. Something I've picked up on is that so many people buy pictures and decorating pieces with one room in mind. Meaning, you buy a picture for the living room and only think of it there.  

We seem to turn on the TV whenever the show "Freestyle" is on. It's a show that changes a room without spending any money. They put the important pieces back, but they look around the house for other items to coordinate the new layout and design. The rooms usually turn out really great.

We went to IKEA today to look for a rug for the living room and we found one that will work well in our space. We will hopefully be able to use pieces we had in other rooms to coordinate. We bought some paint to go with the rug but the only problem I have is that I think it is the same color we painted our bedroom in our other apartment...you just never know how it is going to look until it is on the walls.

FAVORITE THINGS: MUIR WOODS (www.nps.gov/muwo) I know it is not in San Francisco proper, but it is a quick drive across the Golden Gate Bridge to see fairy tale-like woods. For a nominal fee ($3) you can enter into the beautiful forest. When we were there, many of the longer trails were closed off, but the main boardwalk path, a mile long or so, was available.  

The pictures do not even do justice to them, you must see them for yourselves.
