I’ve been wanting to replace the futon in our living room from the very beginning, and that day has finally come! It has served us well as a spare bed for guests, but it’s not something that we want in the main living area. For a few weeks, I casually stalked craigslist for a...

Our living room, like our entire house, is still very much a work in progress! We started off with hardly any furniture or house stuff & we’re slowly accumulating the pieces to make our house a home. Shortly after I moved in last summer, we removed the wallpaper & painted it a light aqua...
