Finally!

I have been waiting a long long time for this room to be complete. I have technically been waiting for 9 years to have a living room. A room where we can have family prayer, and Family Home Evening and Father interviews, and play the piano WITHOUT the distraction of messes and toys. A nice peaceful, calm room.

This room started out as the computer/piano room, but we soon decided that we didn't want that and the night before Kyle lost his job, we decided to deck out our living room for our Christmas present. Instead--it became a storage room for a long time. We waited and additional 3 months for that Chaise lounge to become available because as soon as Kyle got a new job and we could afford it, it had sold out.

We love our first complete room of our home. The chairs are from Target and are comfortable and affordable. The bench is from Costco and also stores all of Kyle's GMAT studying/teaching materials. We still need to find some pillows for the chairs (the ones on the chairs now are from my bed) and maybe some cool but small decor for above the chaise lounge. I need to get myself a better FHE board and I definetly need a REAL plant on the red table. BUT for the most part, I have a living room--we have FHE in there and read our scriptures every night in there and we love it.

Plus!

drum roll please.......

After 8 years of never ever being tuned, our red piano has finally been tuned! It sounds great!! And we are all loving it!

I didn't want a super formal living room...I wanted it to be warm and inviting and not stiff and I think I accomplished that! I think the kids agree:)
