Hello ladies...I'm fairly new to the board but have a MAJOR home decorating project ahead.

I'm moving into my boyfriend's house next month. Its an adorable house and he does a great job with the exterior and landscaping...but in the two years he's lived here he's never painted or given much thought to the interior. he's a bare bones kind of guy and up until now, its been just his space so i've never dipped my hand into the pot.

I'm a school teacher, so I plan to spend my summer ripping down wallpaper, painting walls...and making a few key furtniture purchases. we have our eye on a really nice chocolate brown leather set for the living room.

So my question is, any books or websites that you have found to be helpful for the starter home? Do any of you ladies have any experience or stories about turning a bachelor pad into a cozy home for two??? Wheres a girl to turn...
