I’ve been missing for a while. I had big plans to write ahead and have posts scheduled to go up while I took Spring Break off to be with my family. And then, the Monday before Spring Break was a completely unexpected Ice Day.
With everyone home, I was determined to spend time with them instead of working ahead on this blog-thing I do. I had big plans for Tuesday morning, but had completely forgotten that I had a rather major (three hour) dentist appointment scheduled. They called as I got home from the gym. I went sweaty. And stinky. (Though I did brush my teeth . . . )
Add this, that, and the other, plus a little yada yada yada, and I left town last week with two little ol’ posts scheduled.
And as it seems to go, my house reflected this craziness-of-life.
Remember those new chairs? The ones I (gleefully) didn’t have to set up and arrange when we canceled our church’s home group meeting due to that unexpected ice storm? Well . . . the next week was another missed group meeting because of Spring Break.
I guess it’s just wasn’t in me to spiff things up without an impending doorbell.
And when there are two humongous boxes, it’s hard to care about all the other stuff that gets strewn across the floor and more.
So after a full two weeks, I finally got to see my living room company ready and decided that I do love our new setup.
I like to think that if the past two weeks had been a little less-crazy, I’d have fixed things up just because.
But I like to think a lot of things.
Just for reference, here’s a picture of the living room all put together with the old loveseat:

Love your purple furniture! Where did you find it? I like your new chairs as well, though I have some similar to those already 🙂
Dana White says
I got that from my SIL. She had had them for years and I LOVE them!

Now that you mention it, I’m pretty sure I read about the acquisition of the purple furniture in an older post. 🙂
Pam @ ANewOrganizedMe says
I love, love, love the new chairs.

Your living room looks great! Are the recliners “assigned,” or does everyone fight over them?
We, too, have a problem with boxes being saved to play with, although we have cats, not kids!
Dana White says
Not assigned yet! Our other seating is loved by all, but no one sat on that loveseat!
Penelope says
Oh, I love the chairs! They seem to fit w/ the color scheme better and won’t hold as much laundry!
I know about the boxes, I had a couch box in my house for about a month….I knew I was a goner when DH cut a door in it.
Dana White says
Yes, my son worries about the lack of laundry space!!
Kristy K. James says
Very nice. Do the kids miss the boxes? Your son worrying about less space for clean laundry is too funny. 🙂
Dana White says
They don’t. I think we had them JUST long enough to get their fill!
