A few weeks ago, we decided to try making better use of the back entry way … it’s a nice enough area, but we never use it and always go outside through the side door by the kitchen instead, which makes no sense considering that the pool is straight out the back door. So, we…

A couple of weeks ago, we decided it was time to make some changes to the back entry way so that we would be more likely to use the back door for trips to the pool, etc. We always seem to ignore the fact that we have a back door and use the side porch…

Although we’re still waiting on a few finishing touches on the outside of the entry way addition, inside we’re starting to decorate the new space. A few weeks ago, we ordered a new Stickley Harvey Ellis Door Console table to go next to the front door and it was delivered today. I’m really happy with…

Last fall, we started the project to finally furnish our house. We’ve lived here for about 2 and a half years now, but most of the main floor was really light on furniture and the pieces we did have weren’t really a good fit for the space. It took several months for us to make…

A couple tables for our living room were delivered on Friday to go with our new couch and chairs: The coffee table and credenza (behind the couch) are from the same collection as the furniture we got for our family room. We’re thinking this will be good later on if we decide to move furniture…

We finally got our new couch and a couple of new chairs for our living room delivered yesterday! Here’s a picture of them: We think the new furniture looks a lot nicer in the living room than our old couch did, and it’s pretty comfortable too. The only thing we’re really noticing is how out-of-place…

We’re so excited to finally have a couple of furniture deliveries scheduled this week for items we’ve ordered over the last few months. We have a new sofa and a couple of upholstered chairs coming on Wednesday … and a new coffee table and credenza (for behind the sofa) being delivered on Friday. After this,…

We ordered some new furniture for our living room back on September 19th. At the time, they told us that the fabric pieces we ordered would take 60-90 days to come in and the leather chair and ottoman would probably be more like 90-120 days. Since it had been almost 2 months, I called yesterday…

After being in our house for about 2 years and having basically no furniture in our living room during that time, we finally decided it was time to start furniture shopping. Our living room is pretty large (about 30′ long x 16′ wide), but really long and narrow with lots of doorways that make furniture…

About a month ago (I’m so behind in posting!), we bought a new buffet for our dining room. It’s part of the Canopy collection of assemble-it-yourself furniture at Wal-Mart and it’s actually called an “Anywhere Console”. At first, we were a little leary about purchasing something like this at Wal-Mart, but it seemed like it…

Update: The pictures below of the bookshelves and accent table we ordered for our sunroom are from the original product pages on the JCPenney and Target websites, but the products are no longer available online. Sorry for the inconvenience! About a year ago, we painted and got new furniture for our sun room, which we’re now…

The patio furniture we ordered for our deck arrived this morning. After about 4 hours of work to assemble everything, it’s definitely looking like a big improvement over the empty deck we had when we started. We ordered the 7-piece dining set, 2 chaise lounges, and a set of nesting tables from the River Stone…
