A new couch

One of our big projects since we moved in has been our basement. It originally had fake wood floors--YUCK , a horrible paint job and disgusting lighting. Zach quickly replaced the two light fixtures w/ canned lighting--thanks Charlie for your electrical help, we had beautiful carpet that is eco friendly installed (made w/ corn and plastic bottles I believe), we ripped off the nasty fireplace mantel and painted the glass doors--(hoping to add a gas fireplace and new mantel sometime this fall so we can be nice and cozy this winter when Abby arrives), we painted the walls and Zach's Dad put in new trim/baseboards that I painted. . .most recently we bought a new couch w/ 2 chaise lounges, one for me and one for Zach. :) I hated our old leather couches because they were really squishy--not good when you have a big baby bump. . .I would never go down there but now I LOVE being down there. The room seems so open and I love imagining a little one crawling around while we are relaxing. You can't see in these pics but there is a big open space that will be great for the kids someday on the end of the room w/ the fireplace. I just hung the wooden flag that was a gift from our wedding--I love it!! I just need to get a few lamps and curtains and we're good to go. The room is a great, cozy family room that is sure to get lots of use in the years to come. :)
