Rearranging Our Furniture
In the 4 and a half years that I've lived in this house it has seen many changes. We've painted our walls and changed the furniture around a million times, but this is one of my favorite changes so far. Steve decided that he would like to have his "Rock Room" in what was our office. His computer stayed in what is the new Rock Room and mine moved to the new Den. We have a den. To me, having a den only comes when you have a different room that is set up as a "Living Room" and now we do. So far, we only have pictures of the new den, but the pics of the living room and rock room will up on flickr soon.
We tucked my desk and computer behind the couch so that it would be easy for Steve to do computer stuff while I watch tv. We really didn't know where else to put the desk, so this works well for us as I like to watch movies and Steve feels frustrated using the laptop so we can hang out together. Now he just puts on headphones when there is something he wants to listen to on the computer and I just keep going!
We also have what I'm calling the TV Wall. The TV is on top of a credenza that used to belong to my mom's parents. It held their records and candles. My guess is that each of them got to fill half and MeMaw chose candles and Poppie chose LPs. It still has his notes of what records go where and soem newspaper clippings taped to the doors regarding CDs being the future of music listening.
I know it's crazy but we have a two-tv system. We use the big one for general watching and the little one for video game playing. We really don't use both that often anymore, but there was a time that this solved many problems concerning both of us wanting to play different games (on different systems) at one time or one of us wanted to watch a movie while the other wanted to play a game. It looks ridiculous but it works for us.
Ruby loves the new room. It is nice to have a room that works so well for our needs and even has a window for her to look out of!
