Furniture!!!

I am so glad to be able to share with you our furniture! It seemed to take so long to get it delivered (about 7 weeks) and it was hard paying money and walking out of the store with nothing but a receipt. We purchased a new bedroom set, a sectional sofa and a buffet for our TV accessories.


A few weeks ago Chris, his Dad and cousin hung our TV on the wall and the buffet fits perfectly under it. The pile of movies and rock band accessories will be put away in the cupboards of the buffet eventually.

Our big, comfortable, soft sectional sofa is A.MA.ZING!!!! It is a charcoal grey color and has a corduroy feel to it. Once you sit down, you definitely do not want to get up, you just sink into the cushions and want to stay there forever.

Here is the view from the hallway looking into the room. (sorry for the strange color of the picture my camera was acting up)

With the sectional in the den, we were able to move our other couches and the alien chairs into the living room. We put one chair in front of the fireplace, creating a little reading nook.

We are still working out how we want to set up the living room but we are really happy with what we came up with last night (after changing the layout about ten times). It creates a small conversation area that keeps the open feeling of the large room.
We are now sleeping on a Cal-king bed! I was worried that the black furniture would make the room too dark, or clash with our caramel colored walls, but it looks great (in my opinion) and it is nice to have furniture that matches! I'm starting to feel like a grown up!

With the bedroom set came a dresser and we found the perfect place to put it; across from the bed and it is a great height to have the TV on. I wasn't sure about how I felt having a TV in the bedroom but it is really nice because when I have to get up early, we can go to bed and Chris can watch TV while I fall asleep.

Even Brick is enjoying the new bed!

With our new bedroom furniture in place, we shifted our queen bed into the guest room. Hopefully that room will come together soon so I can share with you that transformation too! I am SO happy to see our house coming together!
