SUYL - Living Rooms

I'm linking up with Kelly's Korner today for SUYL Home Tours.  Today is living rooms.
We really don't use our living room much.  We have a loft upstairs where we do most of our hanging out/TV watching.  I'm finding it hard to decorate, also, because there's only 2 walls, and one is mostly window.

Looking in from the dining room. I'd love to paint that wall but it continues up the stairs and is 2 stories tall, and our ladder isn't tall enough. Also, I have a cedar chest I'm thinking about putting under those windows and decorating it with books, vases and candles.

I've tried to add spalshes of color wherever I can.

My reading chair.

Toys and our old-fashioned TV (the good one is upstairs).

I love this candle holder and that's a great spot for it.

We used to have the couch and chair reversed,
but once we hung curtains we decided it looked better
 the other way.

We have an old fashioned TV too. We tend to watch TV programs online most of the time!

LOL, our good TV is upstairs too! Our living room is the relm of the two 3-year-old boys and their toys, so as they get older, we'll end up redecorating the room and making it our family TV room. We like to watch TV in the evening as a family - America's Got Talent and MasterChef are the current favorites. But the boys are in bed at that time and we're just watching with our older daughter, so we don't need as much space

Show Us Your Life - Dining Rooms

It's time for this week's Show Us Your Life, brought to you by Kelly's Korner , and this week it's dining rooms. We have a very open floorplan, so when you walk in our front door the dining room is to the right and the living room to the left, with the fireplace straight ahead.  It's basically all one big room.     I bought the table and sideboard at Dania when I bought my first condo back in 2002.  It looked great in that condo, but for this house I wish I had black dining room furniture.  The table and sideboard are the same color as the trim, and then with the white walls (although we finally got one wall painted) it's just so blah.  And like most other rooms in the house, we have yet to hang curtains (not that we're going to hang them in every room, but we have yet to hang any). Looking in from the kitchen.  Need curtains! Looking in from the living room.  Notice the plastic protector underneath, for when the kids throw their sp...

Weigh-in Wednesday - Up and Down

So 2 weeks ago I skipped my weigh-in because of slacking off and then last week I skipped the weekly post altogether.  But I've since turned things around and am back on track. I've logged 2 good work outs so far this week.  On Monday I did C25K week 3 day 1 plus extra walking to equal 30 total minutes of cardio and then I did chest, shoulders and triceps.  Yesterday I did day 2 of C25K week 3 and legs.  Paul will be getting home later than usual for the rest of this week so I'm hoping the weather will cooperate so that I can just walk/run outside, as I won't have time to go to squeeze in the gym before dinner with him getting home later, or I could go after dinner but I don't really like to. So, after losing 7 pounds in April, I have since gained 8 (that's right-EIGHT) and lost 5.  OK, I probably didn't really gain 8.  That's what the scale said last Thursday but the very next day I was down 2.6 or 2.8 or something, so wh...

A Very Belated 2023 Recap

I guess I took a bit of a blogging break.  I only blogged three times last year and this will be my first post so far this year.  I just haven’t been in the mood but now suddenly I am.  We’ll see how long it lasts. Where to even begin?  A lot has happened since I last blogged.  The girls are about to turn 16, have jobs and are on the verge of getting their driver’s licenses.  We took an amazing trip to Bryce Canyon, Zion National Park, the Grand Canyon, Lake Powell and Las Vegas last summer.  We celebrated our 17th anniversary and are closing in on our 18th.  We attended some great concerts, did some fun hikes and have had lots of fun date nights, game nights and girl’s/guy’s nights out.  Ok, I guess that’s not all that much but whatever.  So, I guess to start off my 2024 blogging, I will recap 2023: I turned 54 in January. For President's Day weekend we went to Crescent Bar and from there Paul and Kayley went skiing at Mission Ridge and...
