Mid-summer I got the idea stuck in my head that we were gonna split once Dan got home from Alaska, move out of our house into the Winne and sell all our stuff. After my trip up to Alaska to visit him I came home and started selling our furniture. I sold and donated quite a bit of stuff, including our couch, but then after Dan came home he got a new job, I got invited to join the Gritty City Sirens and staying in Tacoma started to sound appealing again. Our house was still in a bit of a jumble from my purge fest and our living room always felt like it was in a state of being unfinished.
We're still thinking of moving, but that won't be happening until at least after I return from the Wildbride Retreat west coast tour. So for now, it made sense to make our home feel homey again. We got a couch again, and I set up the living room into an arrangement that I've never had it in before! I've always liked the idea of the couch being on the black wall, but I wasn't sure how that'd work with the front door being right there. I figured I'd try it out anyway and I really love how it feels! Plus, there's a perfect spot for our Christmas Tree!
See the other ways I've arranged our living room here.
Almost everything is Ikea, thrifted, or Target.
