the boys *and other stuff

Part of me can't believe I'm even posting these pictures of my living room... It's a MESS, but this is how it looks most days while the kids play. Oh well. It gets picked up every night and through the day multiple times. Our basement is still a work in progress so until it's ready, the boys will continue to play in the living room. Honestly, once the basement is finished, I think they will still play in the living room. No biggie. I'm not the type of person who has certain rooms in the house that the kids are allowed in. It think people who only allow their kids in specific rooms in their home are weird.
Anywho... We are redecorating our living room!!!!!!!!
Our first purchase was the new tv. See below. LOVE it! LOVE! We are tv people. Sad, but true. We had the same tv since 2001 when Rob and I moved to Richmond. It was a tube tv and since it worked fine we were in no rush to replace it. After years of asking, Rob finally gave into my request for a tv and now I think he likes it more than I do!


On to the couch and love seat.
They served us well. We got them in 2001 and they also lasted us 11 years, 4 moves, 2 kids and 2 dogs. They are a wreck. We were happy to give them them to my in laws church to use in their teen room.

Our second big purchase was our new couch which took us about a month to pick out. Our original plan was to get a sectional, but they were all too big and quite expensive.

What's left?

Chair (purchased yesterday)

Paint (picked out)

Rug

Ottoman

TV Stand

Hang the tv on the wall
