It looks like grown ups live here.....finally

Well, about 3 weeks ago, Mike and I ordered some new furniture for the house. The sad thing was that after we did all that, we realized that the only furniture that we have actually bought was the mattress and foundations for our bed, one of the filing cabinets, the TV stand, and DVD/Blu Ray racks. Everything else has been given to us, or moved with us in the years past. Not that we weren't thankful for all of that, but it truly was time to purchase some new furniture. So this past Saturday, we had our furniture delivered and put together.

This is what our family room furniture used to look like. Now this is what it looks like with the new furniture....

Daddy's new chair and ottoman

The nice thing about the couch is that when you sit on it, you don't sink to the middle of the couch. You can actually sit on one side or the other, and even the middle and feel like you are falling in a hole!! It makes things much easier when your 7 months pregnant.

We also decided that we would order ourselves a bed room suit, since we didn't have much of anything in our room. Things looked so hodge podged, that I'm not even going to post the before pictures, just what it looks like now.

We are having a bit of a decision to ma ke about the bed. It's hard to tell in the picture, but the base of the frame is higher than the other frame that we had before. So when we put the foundations in it raised the mattress up to above my waist. I literally have to step on the rail to get into bed. We have left it as it for the past couple of nights, but I don't think Mike is totally sold on it. One thing we will have to do is to get taller night stands if we keep things things this way. I personally kind of like having the bed up higher. It just seems to go, the headboard is very tall, and so is the dresser that is in our room. I think it might look funny if we don't have the foundations in the frame.

We also ordered this dresser for little man's room. Mike is going to build a rail to put around the top of it, so it can double as a changing table for awhile. Now that we have all his furniture, we can rearrange everything to make how we want it. Then the fun part will begin....decorating his room!! We better get things rolling, since time keeps on ticking by. 

Now that we have all this new furniture, it looks like it's grown up furniture, instead of little kid furniture. That's the running joke around here at least...
