Our Home | Living & Dining Room

Today, I'm showing you my living and dining room (which is all just one room that includes the kitchen as well). When we moved to Utah, it was the first time we saw our home in person. After driving 25 hours across the country then unpacking the moving truck (I probably mostly watched, but it looked exhausting.), I started arranging furniture. And it didn't fit. I moved the furniture around and around for a long time, and this is the (only) arrangement that worked. There were some tears, but luckily, our couch fits into the space it's in, or there would have been a major meltdown. I like the furniture arrangement, but it is tighter than I would have liked between the wall of Stella and the second armchair. The fireplace and I have a love/hate relationship. I love it, but in a house this small, it takes up WAY too much room. The bay window is great, but it is too small and too shallow to accommodate any furniture. Anyway, it works, and I really do love this home.  We've lived in eight houses in twelve and a half years, and I may or may not be getting pickier every time we move. The more houses we live in, the more I learn what I don't want in our next house!
