On Black Friday, DH and I were off to search for furniture (finally) for our living room which as looked mostly like this since July:
except that the floor has been finished up to edge on that right wall.
I really kind of had my heart set on a sectional. Reason? Mostly because I think sectionals give you the most amount of seating space which is nice when we're hosting house church (what our church calls our small groups which meet every Friday evening). Plus I think a sectional would fit well into our living room which, as you can see, is a pretty open rectangular space.
By far one of the most stressful things about furniture for this room was how we were going to have to set it up. We took a tip from one of the sales person. Measure out the dimensions of the furniture that you are planning on getting and recreate the dimensions with newspaper. Then you can move around the furniture until you get it situated to your liking. Here's what we ended up with the the tenative layout:
So after visiting 7 Houston area furniture store...we found our living room set. And it was delivered by the second week of December...voila!
and we got a new TV as a part of this packaged deal from Rooms To Go...so finally after many months of being empty...we're able to enjoy our living room. And that's the last of the rooms to be furnished. Now we need to get our framed pics back on the walls and we'll feel all settled in :) Yay!
