New Furniture Part 3

It's fixed!!!

Meet the new couch.

It's a Kane's Furniture Avalon style.

Lots of lumbar support.

Yummy chocolate leather.

Both ends recline.

Perfect for us!

We flipped the room around, so the kitchen

is behind the couch.

(The basket is the one the yummy

Christmas pears came in - now it's holding

my knitting.)

This is what it looks like coming in from the french doors in the

back of the house.

This is the power recliner.

That's where I'm sitting right now.

Behind the floor lamp, hanging on the wall

is a cool wall hanging made of 

horseshoes that Mom & Dad sent us.

It holds our bridles, cowboy hats,

and Rod's rope.

(Notice the beautiful end table...

more on that later.)

And of course next to that is the

awesome metal buffalo Mom & Dad sent us.

(See a theme? LOL)

(You can see the open front door on the left

side of the picture...)

The map has a bunch of pins.

They represent all the places the guys

made deliveries during their

trucking days.

We keep it up because the missionaries

love to look and show where they are from.

Next to the map is Bob.

My wall fish.

And a couple of Kyle's beautiful photographs

The fireplace could use a cleaning.

Turning the room this direction

makes it a little smaller,

but much cozier.

I think we all like it.

Except you can't see out the french doors.

But that's ok.

Behind the couch there is a space 

to walk through and then four wooden

bar chairs that sit up at the breakfast bar.

(And in the foreground is an awesome lamp

... you guessed it ...  Mom & Dad sent it to us!)

In the back corner, next to the doors

is our piano with a cool lamp.

WE bought it.

And above that is the cave art Rod and I

found at a little shop in Moab, UT.

So we DID help with the decor of our house...

Remember the three gorgeous end tables?

Kyle made those.

All the inlays are hand hewn oak 

from an oak tree he cut down,

let age out in the back pasture for a year or so,

and then he cut and planked it all by hand.

I LOVE them.

So, there you have it.

Our first new furniture since we bought our

blue sleeper sectional back in 1990.

(We got rid of that in 2008-ish?)

(Replaced it with the black leather sectional

that came with the house - it was in the garage...)

Hopefully this is our final furniture purchase

for a LONG LONG TIME.

(Which, based on our past performance is 

a pretty good bet.)
