I am so relived that our living room is finally done…for now. Let me explain, I don’t feel like the room is “missing” something like I had been this past month. Our new couch finally came, we snagged a new chair from Target, and a new table and chair set for the kiddo from Delta Children. Pretty much everything else we already had! I tried my very best to not buy a bunch of new stuff for this house. We literally cut our square feet in half which means we have double the stuff we needed. So we kept a lot and then sold some to use the money to buy new things we had our eye on. And let me just say for those of you who may be wondering, this is under NO circumstances how my house looks most of the time. Right now, my children have brought a tornado of toys through, but during this blissful hour while everyone slept, there was a place for everything and everything was in its place. And all the mamas said a big ol’ AMEN.

 

Let’s chat about the table and chairs. We previously had the set from IKEA which we purchased merely based on the price, (achem) dirt cheap. But that thing got janky fast. Plus, it was teeny tiny I felt like the kids have outgrown it. I searched and found the perfect set that was not only aesthetically gorgeous but also super well made and sturdy. Honestly, Christian and I comfortably sit in these chairs for short amounts of time (not saying that it’s recommended or anything lol). I also had my future of homeschooling in mind knowing my kiddos would need a place to work. Plus a HUGE bonus was that you could buy additional chairs. Hello, I have 3 children I cannot have a table with only 2 chairs, can you imagine the drama in my future? We snagged an extra set for when Teddy needs a place at the table or for when friends and family with kiddos come over.
