Making a Home: Getting the Living Room Going...

It's been a long while since I've updated you on our house, and it's not that we haven't been doing stuff on the house, but we haven't been doing anything big, and we've both been crazy with school schedules, so I have not been inspired enough to write lately. But, now that my life at least is a little less crazy than it has been, I'll try to catch you all up.

So, if you remember the living room in our house, it is the main/middle floor that's attached to the kitchen and dining room. It has been in many different arrangements since we moved in a little more than a year ago. One of our friends that visits somewhat frequently remarked that every time she's here, it looks different, and this could be true.

When we were redoing the kitchen, the living room became our kitchen, dining room, and living room, and was quite packed. Then we finished the kitchen and got the family room ready to go and all the furniture left so that it was quite open and empty. Around March, we found this fun sectional to take up part of the room.

But because we didn't have any other furniture in there yet, we decided to separate the sectional into 2 couches across from each other. And then, one summer day, my sister and her roommate decided to come and claim the coffee table (almost from out under my nose!), so we are left mostly table-less for now.

Sometime in the summer, we found this chair for the corner of the room, which Robbie promptly declared as "the chair of proclamation". So basically that just means he gets to sit there when he's teaching (bible study, home groups, etc.). Otherwise, he is perfectly in love with stretching out on one of the long open sofas. :-)

Then, after months and months, and eventually a year without having curtains in our living room (much to the dismay of my husband lol), we (read I) finally decided on some curtains and rods to match our furniture.
