Stock Up & New Space

One of the things that I did to get caught up last weekend was to make freezer meals. There is just not a good time to get these done unless I stay up until midnight - and I'm just not doing it. But with the boys gone, I had a few more quiet hours to myself. So I stocked us up. The back drop was our new table and living room setup.

I've been wanting to change the living room around for a while but I just didn't think anything else made sense. One Saturday, Scott came home to furniture in disarray and Nate and I arguing about what was going to go where. We had not discussed it beforehand, it was just one of those let's see if this can work moments. And I think it works!

I wanted Lila to have some space to move around and the way we had it was not conducive to moving around. We got rid of our dining room table and got a pub table instead. It was just what we wanted and so much more functional in this space.

See? Doesn't Lulu Bell look happy in her new environment? She loves it. And I love how spacious it makes this room look.

I also created this new sitting/reading area with a new table and lamp. I really love how it turned out! I am really into lamps right now for some reason. I don't really like the overhead lighting in our living room so lamps are the way to go for me.
I want to add a bigger rug but haven't had time to look into that yet. Of course, I know just when I get our house the way I want it, we'll move. It certainly happened in Nashville and I don't expect STL to be any different!

I am so glad you posted pictures of your new set-up. I have been anxiously awaiting to see what it looks like. I really like it and agree that it makes the living room look much bigger. I love the table too!!!
