we have furniture!!

So, we finally have started to move furniture into the house. Some of it works as expected, some of it not so much, but it's progress!

Computer room
You may wonder why I put my desk with the back facing the window and mini deck, but it's because I plan to fill the wall above the desk with shelving. I saw a home office in a magazine where they had lots of shelves above the desk and they put the computer monitor and printer on the shelf, so it left the entire desk surface open for work. Plus, I hope to eventually put a small table in front of the window and paint there.





Living room
Okay - way too big furniture. This sofa and chair set is 8 years old, so I intended all along to use income tax return money to invest in a new sofa set come January. Now I really intend to! This overstuffed combo overstuffs the living room! And I don't even have the TV armoire in yet... that's a whole other story. We intended to paint the old, lighter armoire with a stain/polyeurethane combo so it could match the rest of the dark wood in the room. Yeah, that didn't work so well. So, this coming weekend, we plan to just paint the armoire a dark brown with regular paint. I don't love the idea, but it'll certainly do for now. So, the TV cart will soon be replaced with a TV armoire. Added bonus: seeing Dad mesmorized by the History Channel.




Upstairs bathroom
I'm kinda bummed about these photos because I think the bathroom looks way better than these photos do.
