Furniture Frenzy!

It all started a couple of months ago when Culligula moved some chairs out of our study, sitting room , whatever you wanna call it! (any advice on what to call it?) Anyway, we decided to sell the chairs on KSL & that's where it all started.

Once the chairs were gone he posted our green sectional just for kicks. An hour later it was sold & we were without furniture. Luckily Culligula likes furniture, so the next day he spent his lunch break at the furniture store purchasing a new sectional.

We then sold our green couch that was in our study (sounds uncomfortable) & had to replace it. Well we didn't want to spend money for a couch in that room so we replaced it with our couch upstairs, which meant we would need all new furniture upstairs as well as a new floor. Did I mention we also ended up selling our book shelves & tables in the study & replacing them? Brother!

After 2 days of ripping out carpet & putting in new floor (thanks Ryan!) we got our new furniture & here are the results. We really love it! It's a little grown up but we're trying to evolve into that next stage of not having babies running around.
I wish I had pictures of what it used to look like.
This is our new entry. There used to be nothing there. We're learning to accessorize.
This was definitely a little nuts. We ended up replacing every piece of furniture in 3 living areas. If I had to do it all over again... well, we probably would've tried to recycle some items. That didn't occur to us until it was too late & when everyone kept telling us we should have just repainted our tables & bookcases instead of replacing them. Thanks a lot people!

Nice! Your floor looks amazing! I didn't know about it so it was a pleasant little surprise. I like the new look and it looks like you guys...like it suits you. Fancy shmancy. I'm not calling you fancy shmancy like "oh there goes that fancy shmancy girl" it's more like "ohhh, there goes that fancy shmancy girl".
What am I talking about!? I don't even know, I'm gonna go watch a movie with Sweets now and shut up.
I DO love the new looks...blogs...study(?)...living room..family room...blah blah blah all very nice.
BYE.
