When we moved in to our house, we had a whole new room - a living room, for which we had no furniture. I went to craigslist.org and found a very cheap ($50) set for sale. They were cheap because they were UGLY. Thankfully, we had some couch covers from our old set of couches from before we had put our condo on the market, so I just got them out and covered the new ugly couches. They worked fine, but with kids, they would get all messed up in an amazing short amount of time. For those of you who have never visited, here is a picture of where they were in the living room.
We have been wanting to get real living room furniture ever since, but didn't have the room in our budget. So, this year we decided that with part of our tax return, we'd replace the cheap stuff with real furniture. We spent a long weekend looking at several stores and settled pretty easily on a set (that we modified heavily) from Rooms to Go. They were to be delivered on Tuesday, so on Monday we sent the old ones off with Matt, one of the interns on my team. Here he is loading it (in all it's blue flowered glory) in the back of his Explorer.
With them out of the way, we were able to put the new stuff in the next day. Here are some pics of the new stuff. We got a couch, chair, ottoman and 2 side tables from Rooms to Go. We got lamps too, but they won't be here until March 12th.
We also picked up another chair and cherry bookcase both on a great sale at Lack's furniture. Here you can see the new layout. Much better!
The couch and chair are very very soft and comfortable. It instantly became the favorite reading chair for Isabella and Zach. Here we are after reading a couple of pre-nap books on Saturday.

When I come back down, can I still see out the windows?
