On the Road (Blog) Again!

Yes, I am alive, if any of you were wondering. No, we actually didn't stop doing home improvements, but we combined them with so many other things that I haven't had a chance to write a cohesive thought lately! :)

The house is actually coming along quite well and starting to really feel like our house --- finally! I believe that is a combination of (finally) moving into all of our rooms, (finally) unpacking (almost) every box, and (finally) hanging some things on the walls. Not to worry, for those of you who are thinking - it's been almost a year! - this is actually quicker than what it took me to hang curtains and fully decorate my 2-bedroom apartment!

So, for those of you who haven't been to our house lately (which is pretty much everyone, thanks to our crazy weekday and weekend schedule), here's a bit about what we've been up to in our living room:


The newest edition to our living room is this rusty red sectional. Since we both enjoy to spread out and relax after the day's work, this was just perfect to fit both of us comfortably in the reclining position :)


For awhile (until we finished the family room) we had this sectional in the living room - in addition to the other furniture (a couch, coffee table, 2 end tables and a large rocking great chair). But eventually the family room was finished and so the old furniture got moved down there.


Now we definitely still have some space to fill since the room is so big, but we're still deciding on what should accompany the sectional, and where to find it. In the meantime, the room looks big and open again - much like it did when we first moved in. But not to worry, it's high on both our lists to get it finished soon!

Next step for this room is also some curtains! My hubby has been desperately wanting them for a looooong while, so as soon as we pick the rest of the colors for the room/furniture, that's my next task!
