Changes to the livingroom

Here are some pictures of our living room now. Jeremy and I decided that we had too much stuff in the livingroom and it looked cluttered so we went to Ikea and bought a new shelf. Since it was so big (the new shelf) we had to get rid of some of the stuff in the livingroom. We got rid of the entertainment stand, the book shelf, and the crappy chair. We put the new shelf on the wall where the couch was, and put the couch in front of the window where the entertainment stand used to be, we brought down one of the coffee tables we had upstairs and put the TV on it in the corner next to the new shelf. I, of course have some changes to make to the shelf to space things out better, but for now this is what it looks like. We've been looking at shelves like this for some time now...and yesterday they had one in the "As-Is" section at Ikea...it has a few scratches on it but we just put that side to the wall...and I think it works perfectly in the livingroom. Although, when we went shopping yesterday it was for stuff for the yard, some stepping stones, new garden tools, maybe some plants...and this is what we came home with! lol Ahh well, finally we got the shelf that we wanted.

Ok, so we haven't found a spot for everything yet....lol but we are working on it! The coffee table looks a little cluttered...but remember Jeremy was painting too...so that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!

This is Jeremy hard at work putting the second coat of paint on the door frame. He's such a hard worker, when he puts his mind to it! lol
