Emerging Kristin

When I moved to Swift Current at the end of August, I took most all of the furniture. Then on the September long weekend Doug and I selected some furniture. The problem was that it needed to be ordered. Then there was a delay because they had run out of the fabric and had to wait for the fabric to be delivered. A six week wait turned into a 14 week wait.

The furniture arrived at our home in mid-December. Then I had to wait until I came back to Regina after Christmas to see how it looked in our house! Patience is not my strong suit.

As you can see we have a matching sofa and side chair. We also got this lovely accent chair and it is so comfortable! It feels like your sitting in a little bucket as it wraps around you. It has a variety of colours but it is very muted.

You can also see that we have a new TV stand. Doug has moved his computer into a spare bedroom and him plan it to move the TV in there as well. This would make the living room his “music and reading room.” The quotes are intentional, and slightly mocking … but he is the one who lives there and he can set the house up in the manner that works best for him.

The walls are still quite bare and we will also need to select some end tables and lamps … but we are trying to settle into this new look first.

Our dogs are strickly forbidden from jumping up on the furniture.

But Phoenix especially loves being up in the chair and looking out the window. And Doug comes home to Flame lounging on the sofa! We taken to cover our new furniture with old sheets and giving up on any further obedience training.

I also have to admit that I “staged” these photos … I dusted, vacumed and washed the floors before I took the shots!
