The old and the new

OK so for those of you who have asked to see what my obsessive nesting has brought...here ya go. Blame it on Craigslist. It is nice not to feel so ghetto or white trash, but I will say its a little more stressful because now I have to worry about what the kids do. Before it was like , whatever, strawberries on the couch sure, but now its like "dont move" but the kids even Jayden are really good about following the rules.

Old Carpet, with area rug to hide the ink stains.

New Carpet (Frieze for those of you who care)

Old couch

New couches Both sides recline and the love seat rocks and reclines. They arent my fav color, but they only had this color, and really the color I would want isnt the best for kids, and Josh likes this color. They are called a distressed microfiber, so it almost looks leathery, but is soft like microfiber.

Old kitchen table

New Kitchen table. I love the tall tables but was worried about the kids being so high, (especially Jayden since he doesnt like to sit on his chairs. But he sits on these, I think he knows the stakes are higher here, and they are really good about being careful) but the benches make me feel so much safer.

Our house really is not big enough for all the furniture, I guess our eyes are bigger than our house, but we outgrew our table and couch. For the week before the couches came and my Mom was here, we were all trying to pile on one couch. It was cozy, but Im so glad to have a little room to sit!!!
