Can you handle one more tour this week?? How about a peek at our living room? This is the last part of the big open space created by our kitchen/dining room/living room. We love it so much.
Here is a picture of the living room, taken from the little peninsula space in the kitchen. Everything we had fit perfectly into our new living room. (Including Braeya.) This is the same couch we had in Kokomo; we simply reconfigured the sections, and it fit without an inch to spare! We kept the same coffee tables and end tables, too. The tree back there was on our sun porch in Kokomo, but we put it behind the couch for a little bit of ambient lighting. The doorway on the right leads into our laundry room. First time in my whole life I've ever had a whole ROOM for laundry!
And here is the TV across from it. When we were preparing to move, we weren't sure we were going to be able to hang the TV, so we bought the little entertainment center beneath it in case we needed to use it for the TV. We found that we were able to hang the TV, though, so I get to decorate the entertainment center! YAY!!! This part of our living room has our family pictures and a few other keepsake items. And the little electric stove we had on our sun porch has a home over there in the corner of the living room.
Please also note that the plant from Ryan's mom's funeral is still alive!!
The cozy little top of the entertainment center:
(That little
hope stone was a gift to Ryan from one of his co-workers at the hospital.)
And here's a closer look at the bottom part of that cabinet. The barn doors on the sides hide some storage.
We have our Surrender Cross hanging front and center - and we need to update our prayers on it!
Our Shaffer family pictures hang over the couch. The "I Still Do" sign was my gift to Ryan on our 5th anniversary and the pallet picture beneath it was his gift to me that same year. The two other pictures are from our photo shoot last fall.
And here's our girl, in her happy place, watching over all the happenings out the window. Whenever she's not napping, this is where she hangs out!
So there you go! A quick spin around the living room in our new home!

Love it! The couch fits perfectly!
I love that you still get to enjoy your stove!
It looks soooo "gooshlick"!! :)
I am concerned about your peace lily surviving on top of the electric stove if you plan to use the stove to heat he room. The room is beautiful. It looks like a big space.
Tamar - we had some pretty serious concerns about it fitting, since we didn't have any measurements to work off of before we got here! We thought we might have to take out a section, but we did not.
Natasha - Me too!
Shari - Thank you!! The highest compliment!
Gerri - I'm guessing we won't use the actual heat feature here, since it's not as cold as our sun porch! But if we end up turning it on, I'll move the plant over to something else! And thank you! It does feel big!
I've loved all the room tours. I think it's GREAT how perfectly the couch fits in the new place and I love how it looks there. I also love that it provides a comfy cushion under Miss B's butt for watching out the window!
