Sitting in comfort

On Friday we had a wonderful delivery from the furniture people - our sectional arrived! The delivery guys kept bringing down piece after piece and I was getting a little nervous that it wouldn't fit (and yes, we really did tape out the measurements before ordering so we knew it would).

Anyway, it's awesome. It's flippin' huge, but awesome. I fought to get this chaise thing added to the end; Mike wasn't crazy about it. But, I did remind him that he got the t.v. he wanted and I didn't really put up much of an argument about it (until it started to grow in size every day), so I should be able to get one measly chair. For the record...everyone wants to sit there now - I have to fight for it.

So, after informing Mike he was sitting in my spot, he said he wanted to put his feet up, but couldn't if he sat in the middle. So, we looked online and found a coffee table that fit the space and what style we wanted. We went to get it Saturday, but due to a pesky snow-storm it took us 30 minutes to go what should have taken 5 minutes. So, we turned around and stayed home. We were able to pick it up today.

So, here's our new t.v. area:

This was the best picture I could get and still try to get it all in the viewfinder; it really is prettier colors than what this next one shows:

On Friday night we all sat and watched movies. I just kept thinking about how much work went into finishing this area - but so worth it! This is going to be our new favorite hang-out, I'm sure!
