Double couch action!

I never had a chance to post about it at the time, but we put a curtain up on our big picture window last week.

Also, we got our new living room set from Ashley yesterday. It's a nice dark, dark brown faux leather with white stitching. We also got a gigantic ottoman/coffee table, with padded compartments that turn over to reveal table space. The plan was to move the vintage set from Atomic Home down to the boom boom room. The loveseat moved fine, but the couch thwarted us at every turn -- no matter how we configured it we needed about two more inches of space to get it around the corner and into the doorway. After a lot of frustration, we decided maybe they'd look OK mix and match, with the new loveseat downstairs and the old sofa upstairs. And it turned out surprisingly well! The styles compliment each other, and two sofas up with two loveseats down is a much better use of the space.

With the furniture and painting done, I've just got to finish building all the IKEA stuff and the living room will be complete. We're still waiting on our bedroom set, but after that we'll be pretty much fully in.
