Home Pics

So, this is our new furniture purchase: Actually, it's four furniture purchases, but we've arranged them so that they look like a cohesive structure, and I can tell you from last night's cursing, sweating experience that hanging that shelf above the TV was a bitch. And yes, the current TV does suddenly look small in that space -- perhaps we will soon upgrade to something fancier.

Below is a larger view of the living room. The timing of the pic (early evening) means that light was coming in through the window at a weird angle, so if it seems dark, blame Mother Nature, not my picture-taking. We also bought two new end tables, and ended up getting rid of our gigantic coffee table -- we're still scouting smaller coffee tables, but for now, Scooter has been enjoying the larger play space (those are a few of his toys scattered on the rug).

And, then we moved an old bookcase so that it fit in this corner, and we bought the mirror and decorative do-dads to fancy it up some. This space used to be empty.
So, yeah, that's what Jerry and I have been working on for the past few days. Got it all finished this evening, and we took the old furniture to Salvation Army. Right now, we're waiting for the sun to set (it's been hot as hades here today), and then we're gonna go for a family walk with Scooter.

Hope everyone else had a tubular Tuesday!

  2. I think it looks great! I agree, you need to fill in that space with a new, larger tv. Maybe that's a great mother's/father's day present Scooter can get you both. I think he's been saving up since Xmas and he hasn't been spending any on his girlfriend Annie lately.

  3. Oh very nice, I would so like a home that's not liberally smattered with childrens toys, running shoes, bike bits, computers you get the idea!

  4. The new furniture looks great! Scooter is probably enjoying his new, open space, too. Looks like the next purchase will be the tv upgrade...the more to enjoy the Netflix.

  10. Nice looking furniture. So did Jerry set the furniture up that way so the TV would look small and you'd decide to get a bigger one?

  13. So clean and sleek looking - I can tell your house is kid-free (no handprints, dirty socks hanging from the shelves, or legos waiting to jump out and trip you!). I'm jealous.

    Isn't it funny how a new space can scream - spend more money, buy a big TV?!! :)
