Just Floored

Tal and I have saved enough money to update our living room this year. In the coming months, we plan to install hardwood floors, as well as add a new couch, entertainment center, and area rug. As our budget allows, we'll also purchase new lamps, accessories, and storage cubes to hide Savannah's toys.

Our Living Room
Before

All of our furniture is at least 12 years old and leftover from Tal's bachelor days. Tal and I are grateful that our furniture has lasted all these years, but we're looking forward to having a kid- friendly living room with adult furniture and a cohesive color sheme.


On Saturday, Tal and Uncle Kenny completed the first phase of our living room update. They spent 11 hours installing oak hardwood floors in our living room. The hardwood floors in our living room, dining room, and kitchen all match.



Tal and I love the results! Everyone agrees that our small living room seems much bigger with hardwood floors.


Yesterday Tal hooked up our new 40" flat-screen TV that Barbara and Benny gave us for Christmas. We love the color and sound!


Tal and I are eager to get an area rug as soon as possible. With the new hardwoods, Savannah slips and slides in the living room. On the bright side, Savannah does a great job dusting our floors when she crawls around. She's our little dust bunny! :-)
