Each day, a victory.

Ken and I are redecorating our place (furniture-wise). We've been inspired by the "hobbit" homes as shown at www.bendshire.com, and we want that look for our living room.

Seeing as we neither want to move to Oregon, nor have $800+ to spend on a house, we figure we can start the "transformation" now, eventually ending up in our own property, hopefully later next autumn.

We want it to be a bit rustic and wooden (even though there will still be Disney collectibles all over).

So, we've started with the furniture.

With the aid of wedding giftcards and cash, we purchased an awesome new dining table set from Target. Gone is the old "wood" finish particle board table and chairs that I've owned for over a decade! And, it's versatile - it matches with the current Enchanted Tiki Room decor, until that is once again relocated to the patio once we have our own place.

For the living room, we purchased a second-hand entertainment center, via Ebay. It just got delivered this morning, and is gorgeous! Gone is the old Ikea-style black one. (Well, not gone yet - if anyone wants it, it's yours! Just come get it.

)

I am reupholstering our ugly sofa (it's in great shape, but the fabric is horrendous), and will also redo the free recliner that we acquired with the entertainment center. In addition, we're going to hang long drapes in front of our ugly vertical blinds and I'm latch-hooking a custom-designed Celtic rug. (Yes, I actually have crafting time again.

)

So far, it's getting there.
