Show Us Your Life: Living Room

Let me just say that this is our first home and we absolutely love it. We have lived here for almost two years! After three years of living in multiple apartments and rent houses, it is so nice to have our own place!

So the living room is the biggest room in the house, and probably the most "finished" room.  This is a view from the back of the house (the dining area) looking towards the front door. We really don't like clutter so although it is a good amount of space, there really is not a lot to it!

This is the exact opposite view, looking from the front door to the back of the house. The kitchen in on the right, with the giant wall (tv wall) on the left. The little chair and nook in the back is one of my favorite spots in this room. We love the chair because it is so unique and super comfy. We got the chair from my brother and sister-in-law and its about 10 years old. They tried to take it back once... but we could never find another one, so they let us keep it!

This is obviously the tv wall, which is giant by the way. It is the only spot that I am not completely happy with. The wall is so big that I just don't know what else to do with it. Another issue is that is has the peak of the ceiling that is in the middle of the ceiling, however it is not centered with the doors on either side of the wall. So I never am sure, do you center with the doors, or center with the ceiling. Probably pretty soon though it will house baby things- swing, pack-n-play or some kind of toy storage.

This table is very special to me because it came from my grandparents. They have a business of taking old, junky furniture and re-finishing it. So this is one of those pieces. They actually made it for us originally as a dining room table (it has slats that come out on either side to make it bigger), but I really like it as a side/sofa table.

This beauty is also on the tv wall for now... until it has a place in the Master Bedroom!

I guess that pretty much wraps up the living room!
