I want so much for others to sense the hospitality and want to curl up on our sofa.Just a little something from Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07436711032386582707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6093828013720219318.post-78909006244393974852010-01-06T07:58:38.805-08:002010-01-06T07:58:38.805-08:00Sigh...

We got rid of our one love seat and now just have the couch. We don't have enough seating at all. But finding what I want that will go into our home has been very hard... All they sell out there is modern and well I'm not modern in my decor! I don't know how to mix modern and old together! UGH. And I want to paint our LR, but it is one open space into our dining area and I didn't know if I wanted to do that in the same color but it would look like a 3 ringed circus if I did two different colors. I am at a loss!! Even though I feel completely blessed in our new home, there are things D&I want to do but its saving up for things and doing it slowly is how we want to do them because I am not going in debt just to satisfy my itch! LOL. So it's a slow process and here in WA I haven't found furniture that I like much at all... <br /><br />So much for an upbeat post! LOL. I am upbeat about it, I just got a minute of I want it all fixed right now!!! Actually we shifted our focus to our laundry room, which is the only room in our home not finished. Just the washer and dryer in there and nothing else. So we are going to actually paint in there and get a cabinet to hide the detergent and stuff. You see, I want to decorate in there because we walk in there from the garage, its how we come into our home so I'd like it to be welcoming for us! It's a small space, but I am envisioning it somewhat!!!<br /><br />Well.. With all this being said you need to come over! LOL.<br />e.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13141710203567154793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6093828013720219318.post-90004432300627644282010-01-05T07:05:02.352-08:002010-01-05T07:05:02.352-08:00What a great story!

Now that my kids are older, with one on her own and the other hardly home, I could really do with clearing out some furniture!Kathy @ Creative Home Expressionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01341667486449125153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6093828013720219318.post-50147672550686279052010-01-04T21:00:58.657-08:002010-01-04T21:00:58.657-08:00A cozy den is the only way to go!!!!

He was right! We don't allow t.v.'s or computers in their rooms either...another idea that worked out well for us. We also put a play room in close to the "action" (kitchen and family room) so they could hang out in there but still feel like they were close. <br />I like your suggestions, especially #'s 5 and 6!Glohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15840298006635636951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6093828013720219318.post-19574464144091723372010-01-03T19:10:15.491-08:002010-01-03T19:10:15.491-08:00You are so right Debbie!

In my younger years, I was picky about "stuff" but now the grandkids have the run of the place. If they want to play with something, I just let them. Precious items are up high and out of the reach of little hands:) Hugs from your Georgia friend and thanks for sharing the chair story!Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07511604348057625922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6093828013720219318.post-81679577374781982392010-01-03T08:33:33.292-08:002010-01-03T08:33:33.292-08:00I like the story and what a great idea to have eno...I like the story and what a great idea to have enough seating for EVERYONE. <br />I took out our HUGE coffee table and now have so much more room for our grandchildren and seating.<br />Great idea!Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09690722786561637489noreply@blogger.com
