Time To Reclaim Our Living Room
My daughter and her two children, Anna and Tommy, are moving to a place of their own after living 3 years with us. We have given her the couch and coffee table from the living room plus all the furniture from their bedrooms so she will have furniture in the new place. The TV and entertainment system belong to her but she will be leaving the entertainment center as it is too large for her new place. I am sitting here looking at a half empty living room now. It is time to reclaim our living room and make it ours again.
What First?
I have to think of where we want everything
Ok, let's take inventory of what we have left in the room and where we want it to go. The loveseat can stay over by the windows to the front of the house with the file cabinet and air conditioner next to it. The entertainment center and the new TV (we just bought to go in our living room) will have to be moved over by the heater. The boxes of yarn can go in the bedroom to the left down the hall. The recliner will have to go in the first bedroom on the right or where the computer is. The computer will go where the entertainment center is. Ok, that sounds good. We now have to find another loveseat to go with the one that we currently own.
Since I did this drawing myself, I am not sure the dimensions are right for everything. But, you get the idea of what I am talking about.
Angel's Entertainment Center We'll Be Using
Old Setup For Living Room
recliner and computer area
The recliner will either go over where the computer is or over to the first bedroom on the right down the hall.
What Type Of Loveseat
do we want for our living room. Let's go shopping for furniture.

Not Quite What I Was Looking For
I will have to go shopping some more
Those were really nice, but not what I am looking for. The colors were either wrong or the style. We are more of a it looks nice but not overly fancy type. You can see the recliner we currently own to see that. I think I will go and shop some more.
Let's Go Shopping At eBay
Maybe they will have what we need
Nothing At eBay Either
Why Doesn't Anything Catch My Fancy?
This picture shows the wall where the entertainment center will go and the hallway to the bedrooms.

- LOL - It looks just like the one my sister just got. I have gone the opposite way and for the first time in my life my living room looks a bit like a museum.

- looks good to me to have the 2 recliners! I tried to get one of those from someone on freecycle...alas, she told me I could have it then never replied to me again to tell me where to pick it up! I ended up buying a sleeper sofa at a yard sale.

- Oh, I love the recliner love seats, especially in leather! We went through a similar rearranging when our daughter moved to her own apt. Bless her sweet heart! The room was almost empty except for a few odd pieces. We opted for a recliner love seat across from a small tv that she left too :) Great minds think alike!!!
