Before and After : Living Room

The living room probably took the longest because no one in Mississippi uses craigslist.  So, to get a new desk and TV stand, we had to do some fancy coordinating with craigslisters in St Louis and both my parents and Erik's for pick up and delivery.  I'm really glad everything is almost together (once we get a couple of Elliot's Christmas presents organized in a month or so)... Our living room is so big.  It's nice that Elliot can run around and ride his rocket into things.

This is the only "real" before... thankfully.

In the midst of moving in... you can see the sitting room FULL of boxes.

Our mantle looking pretty pathetic.

Those toy bins near the window are alos being sent to Elliot's room soon. :)

That old DVD rack thing isn't there anymore, but you'll just have to imagine it, I'm not taking another picture! :)

This picture also shows why there are no longer DVD boxes on the bottom shelf, and why Elliot's toys are there.

I now realize that I should have taken this a little higher...  BTW, I made those stockings.

So that's the living room!

Okay, I found this one, pre-stockings.  Cute, huh?
