new living room

a couple weeks ago, we decided to finally change our living room.  we have been wanting a different couch for a while now.we ended up getting a little bigger couch than originally planned, but we found this couch for the same price as a smaller sectional.  AWESOME DEAL!!!!

Unfortunately,  i don’t have a pictured of our old couch.  but, i LOVE our new couch.

since we got a bigger couch than planned, we needed to now upgrade our tv.

our old tv and couch made our ling room feel so small.  we were limited aas to how we could arrange furniture.   we are  still a bit limited now, but the room seems much more open.  it seems to be a lot easier to keep clean.

the thing that really started this whole redecoration was that we wanted to make room for a dining room table.  we made a trip to ikea to check out a few specific tables.  jeff spotted this one and really liked it.  again, not what we originally went for, but actually, better.

it was PERFECT for us.  but what if we have company, you ask?  the best part of the table… each end has a pull out leaf.

we decided that since the kids were getting older that it was important to have a table where we could ALL sit together to eat.  having a table makes a HUGE difference.  before, all we had was a little kids table. 

Anywway, now we turn off the tv during meal time and luke and sara like to say the prayer.  it has been a FATASTIC change for us and WE LOVE IT!!
