Our New Old(er) Living Room!

My dear sister decided to get a fancy new living room set, and gave Brad and I her old couch and chair, which we are thrilled with! Our last hand-me-down couch (which we were also thankful to have) had cat claw marks on it and was a bit broken, lol. I've been very S-L-O-W to decorate my house and haven't made it a priority since it feels like we're never home anyway. With my sister's help, she is helping me 'get it together' and even for Christmas last year she and my mom gave us curtains for my kitchen and living room...which I'm certain would have remained bare if they hadn't. A decorating guru (in my opinion), Jenny has graciously given me many hints and decoration hand-me-downs which have been awesome. I'm kinda cheap when it comes to spending $$ on decorations for my house. I wish I had taken some before pics...oh wait, no I don't :-). Here is the living room, looking "homey" for probably the first time in the 2 years we've lived here. We've been really fortunate in that we've hardly had to buy any furniture for our house. My sister Holly wanted to get rid of their cute kitchen table, bedroom set and her daughter's dresser, which we've been grateful to have and have loved all of it.
