Redecorating The Living Room

Updated on April 14, 2011

Time To Reclaim Our Living Room

My daughter and her two children, Anna and Tommy, are moving to a place of their own after living 3 years with us. We have given her the couch and coffee table from the living room plus all the furniture from their bedrooms so she will have furniture in the new place. The TV and entertainment system belong to her but she will be leaving the entertainment center as it is too large for her new place. I am sitting here looking at a half empty living room now. It is time to reclaim our living room and make it ours again.

What First?

I have to think of where we want everything

Ok, let's take inventory of what we have left in the room and where we want it to go. The loveseat can stay over by the windows to the front of the house with the file cabinet and air conditioner next to it. The entertainment center and the new TV (we just bought to go in our living room) will have to be moved over by the heater. The boxes of yarn can go in the bedroom to the left down the hall. The recliner will have to go in the first bedroom on the right or where the computer is. The computer will go where the entertainment center is. Ok, that sounds good. We now have to find another loveseat to go with the one that we currently own.

Since I did this drawing myself, I am not sure the dimensions are right for everything. But, you get the idea of what I am talking about.

The recliner will either go over where the computer is or over to the first bedroom on the right down the hall.

What Type Of Loveseat

do we want for our living room. Let's go shopping for furniture.

This is a loveseat that is setup to replicate a loveseat from the Hollywood glory days. I would look nice in a room that needs color. It has some lovely black and white pillows to go with it.

Not Quite What I Was Looking For

I will have to go shopping some more

Those were really nice, but not what I am looking for. The colors were either wrong or the style. We are more of a it looks nice but not overly fancy type. You can see the recliner we currently own to see that. I think I will go and shop some more.

Why Doesn't Anything Catch My Fancy?

This picture shows the wall where the entertainment center will go and the hallway to the bedrooms.

Let's do some thinking here. What am I missing? I know! I would like to have one of those reclining love seats. I think I will go shopping for one of those.

I Found The Ideal Love Seat - One that has 2 recliners

This is my ideal loveseat. It has the console in the middle for the drinks and a cubbyhole so that you can store the remotes. Plus it has double recliners. I have had a dream of owning one of these for a long, long time. We plan to buy one for our living room if we can.
