A Little Intro

Well, I finally decided to give this blogging thing a try....can't promise that it will be any good :)

I want to introduce my very humble living room.  It's nothing fancy, with two kids and two hairballs, fancy would never work.  I love casual, comfortable style, the kind you can actually live in.  I try to get inspiration from magazines, and lately, from blogs that I have discovered.  You could say I have a very eclectic style.

Our Formal (yeah, right!) Living Room

Can you tell that I love my living room?  I do.  It's very small, but honestly, for a room that gets very little use, I don't need anything bigger, besides, that would mean I would have more to clean.  This room did not always look like this.  Well, sort of.  You see, we just recently got new floors, to replace the builder grade white carpet we use to have.  Oh yes, I said white.  Did I mention I happen to have two kids and two hairballs?  Well, when it was time to remove the dreaded carped, it was not white anymore ;)  Here is a before picture:

It was not bad to start out with, but me and the carpet just weren't the best of friends.  I also got some new curtains from Tonic Living.  If you were to look closely, you will see that they are not hemmed.  It's all still a work in progress, I would not say this room is done yet, still need a few pieces of furniture, so that we can all bump our knees when we move around.  

I thought I'd share some of the rooms stats with anyone who cares, actually, I want this posted so that I can go back someday in case I forget......which I will:
