Household Changes

Another change around our house happened in our living room, but, it's a result of plans we have for the basement.  As soon as we started talking about using the basement for ourselves, we agreed that we wanted to move our upstairs furniture down there, and get new stuff for upstairs.  We got our living room set when we got married; we bought a couch,a  loveseat, and a chair, and The Brick was having a promo that included a TV; and although it's still in great shape and we LOVE it, we wanted to change the look upstairs.  Our original set was....BIG.  And, the TV was...BIG (it was great having a large screen, but the whole thing is big!).

So, way back on Easter weekend, we went furniture shopping!  Our first stop was The Brick - they were having another great promotion.  We found a couch and chairs that we really liked, but it was a big investment, so we didn't feel right buying from the first store....so, we checked out a few other stores and did a little comparison shopping.  But, in the end, we went with our first instinct.

And, here is what we ended up with...
An ivory couch and two red recliners, all leather!  Curt and I were both surprised with ourselves when we went with these colours...and leather :)  Curt has always wanted a reclining chair though, so that part was no surprise.

And, another look.....oh, and notice a small section of the rug, that's new too!
And, one last picture so you can see the new TV!
That last picture makes me want new curtains!  And, it makes me realize I probably should have turned the TV off when taking pictures ;)  Oh well, just keepin' it real.

Our 'old' furniture is set up downstairs and we've enjoyed having separate TV's on a number of occasions, namely, during hockey games!  There is still a lot of work to do in the rec room though, so there are no pictures of that room. 

So, there you have it, another change that took place around here while I was taking my unplanned blogging break.
