SO remember last week or maybe two weeks ago (time has been crazy weird lately- hasn’t it?) when I talked about the room redo?<\/a><\/p>\n

I love this little room. When our house was built it was built as the “family room” but obviously it wasn’t for a family of 6, we couldn’t even squeeze in as a family of 4 very well. <\/p>\n

But it is a cozy little room. One wall is all brick, with built-ins, a huge fireplace (in fact we joke that they caught critters in the backyard and cooked them up in the fireplace). <\/p>\n

Every winter I am drawn back to this room.<\/p>\n

But furniture doesn’t work well in there and we have our big black desk in there that has to stay.<\/p>\n

I have had my eye out for a couple cozy chairs for in there but when my mom and I were out shopping the day before T-giving I saw the perfect love seat<\/a> for that room. Only problem, it came with a hefty price tag.<\/p>\n

So I didn’t buy it, but took pics and sent them to Andy. He loved it. We decided to look around more, find a less expensive option. I mean we have 4 kids, 3 dogs. I don’t want to babysit furniture.<\/p>\n

But after looking around on that rainy night before T-giving Andy finally said, “You know what, I am tired of living like we are still in college.” <\/p>\n

So back to Pottery Barn we went.<\/p>\n

And now we have a nice new love seat. And I LOVE it. I am so glad we got it. It’s prefect for that room.<\/p>\n

\"(2<\/a> <\/p>\n

Even the birdies got to move into the room<\/p>\n

\"(3<\/a> <\/p>\n

\"(4<\/a> <\/p>\n

Then I decided that since our family is now complete, I needed stockings that matched. Instead of the hodge podge dealio we had going on. Back to PB, because when they have this in the catalog….<\/p>\n

I mean, that’s 2 out of 4- right?<\/p>\n

So now we have this<\/p>\n
