family room transforming

I nearly forgot, I promised you an update on the family room transformation! The newly painted tables were only the beginning. Last week this sofa and loveseat were delivered.....

 I love how my red & brown swap quilt matches them so nicely! The sofa is awesome, it's 102 inches long! Heck, I can stretch out and nap on the loveseat! They really fill up the room nicely. Well, except for the big empty space in the middle. We're still waiting for my favorite piece, the giant ottoman, to arrive. I am looking for an area rug too, just haven't found what I want yet.

This furniture arrangement left about 6 feet open behind the loveseat, between the loveseat and the windows. Here's what we did with that....
Two small desks from Ikea, black to match the tables I painted. Each one has a small drawer for storage. And two upholstered dining chairs from Target. A great spot to sit and do my Bible study in the mornings, or eat a snack! And the chairs add extra seating when we have guests. I'm really happy with the way it's all coming together. Can't wait to show you the ottoman! It should be here in a couple of weeks.

You still have a couple of days to enter my 400th post giveaway! Just leave a comment on this post. I read today that the Sew Mama Sew Giveaway day is coming up in a couple of weeks! I'm plotting what I can give away this year. Any suggestions?

The room looks fabulous Ellyn! When our schedules settle down, I need to come over for a snack on those tables behind the love seat-perfect!

It all looks great.

looks great! I wish I had a larger living room to be able to spread out some.

I love the 2 little tables behind your couch. I been thinking about something like that for homework for my kids--looks perfect.

Well, for the empty space in the middle, why not put some nice modern coffee table?
