On our recent Lake Retreat we had some discussion over what was so relaxing about that particular place. Besides a few obvious things (amazing view, total peace and quiet, removed from all hussle and bussle), we noted that our favorite spot in the condo happened to be the living room with it’s fireplace and flat screen TV and big ottoman and comfy blankets. The condo's living room felt like home. It was peaceful and most importantly COMFY!! So we started a list of what we thought made it so awesome and vowed to bring it to our living room once again! We've got the fireplace and the nice TV and even some cozy blankets. But over the past few years, our couch has gotten very destroyed by our dog. We need to purchase new pillows and throw some color, photos and US into our space!! We have also longed for an ottoman that would give us a space to throw up our feet and give us some much needed storage and organization.
All that being said, one of my goals this past weekend was to begin to work on some updates to our living room. We did some couch shopping and are hoping to score a good deal on Black Friday...so we're waiting it out! We also began looking for a new entertainment center. We would like to give our TV a new (lowe)home! Our son spends a lot of time staring UP like this:
To remedy that we bought this:
We also purchased this table to help remedy the problem we're having of no end tables.
We're not going in the most practical order, but we decided to cut some costs and to get creative. So we're pulling our own style together! I'm excited!! Wish us luck as we hunt for a couch on Friday and hopefully get a chance to do some living room re-arranging over the long weekend!!
