TA DA!

The deed is officially done. The pit of despair is no longer. It is a beautiful sunny room that makes me smile when I look at it. It has big comfy furniture that we bought all by ourselves. Our first furniture purchase for us. Until today, most everything we have we either brought with us from our childhood homes, or had handed down to us. The boys beds are the only exception.

We are donating our very good condition, but not our style stuff to Salvation Army. Thing 1 was a little concerned that we may burn it and no one would get to use it. Where does he come up with this stuff?

What this does, in addition to making our home beautiful, is exorcise one of the final demons in our home. The recliner, in which my father was resting when he passed, is finally leaving the building. It has been the one thing that once in a while will catch my eye and bring me right back to 12:30 on July 21, 2005. And on that note, I ask you to make sure you have seen the pit of despair as it was, before you look at the new pictures.






Can you believe the difference?









I LOVE my couch!







Doc is perfectly aligned with the TV








The Piano and Doc's recliner







The recliner, it's very comfy. And no more yellow. The yellow may go in the room beyond the little hall once the Nephew has moved on with his life.







What's that on the baseboard? NOTHING!







And the best part? LOST is on tonight!!! We get to snuggle into our respective spots and enjoy our lovely new space!

Life is Good! Peace out!
