Give Me My Space!

Yesterday, while I was cleaning, I got fed up with the big, dirty, chunky enormous sectional that engulfs our family room. It was a hand-me-down from Matt's parents, and has seen better days.

I've wanted to fix this for a while by turning our formal living room into a great room, and getting rid of the couch. Unfortunately it's just a little too expensive to do that right now (we'd have to buy a new one), so I had to find another option.

Here is the before:




And this is the AFTER!





SO much more space! I love it! And why would we need a huge sectional when there is just two of us living here anyway? What a great *free* change.

(and isn't it amazing what difference a D-SLR camera makes? I'm still borrowing MIL's but hope to get my own SOMEDAY.)
