Superbowl Sunday

In preparation of opening our home to our church family, we have unpacked (or hidden) all boxes, bought new furniture, decorated the living room and set up an HD TV. All in the last week. So for those of you who have been clamouring for photos of our house, here is the one room you get to see, the living room.



Furniture from Value City Furniture, Plasma HDTV from Target, additional pillows and throws from WalMart. Mike went a little overboard with the extra pillows. The stripey ones came with the furniture and he bought the rest. We were thinking of moving the other couch in here too, under the other window.

I love the giant ottoman and round chair. The chair swivels to face the TV, fireplace, or bookcases. I know we have more books around here somewhere, most of them are probably in the basement room labeled "dad's office". We're also thinking of putting a desk under that other window.


The table is an old end table (actually from Mom's 1970's "corner unit") with a throw over the top. Aly let me swipe a lamp from her room and Pam got me the bowl of peacock eggs for Christmas one year.

So that is it so far. I suppose the dining room and kitchen are safe for photos, so maybe I'll take those next. Still some boxes in the family room ... and all of the bedrooms and basement. Maybe if someone would come VISIT me, I'd be motivated to unpack :)
