New Furniture

Even better than the title says... New FREE Furniture!
A family in our ward was looking for someone to take their entertainment center off their hands since they just bought a large screen TV. Jason quickly volunteered and we moved it in over the weekend. I love it. It makes the room so much prettier. Also, not too long ago, I changed the look of my family room with the help of IKEA. I love that store! I got new curtains, rug, picture frames, throw, and pillow covers to go over my existing pillows. I am actually quite proud of how inexpensive the whole project was. I bought several of their super cheap picture frames, then painted them the dark brown and painted some of my unused frames at home to match. Here is how my new family room looks (minus the usual mess of toys I made Ally pick up for the photo).

We also acquired a new bed for Allary from Trisha and Mark. They got a new bed for Jenna and so handed the old one off to us. Thanks again Trish, Mark, and Jenna!
We (and when I say "we" I mean Jason) sanded it down and painted it white. Ally has just been sleeping on a mattress on the floor. She loves her new "big bed" and I love the free furniture!

The room looks great! How fun to decorate so cute without having to spend a fortune! We've been here over 4 yrs. and I still need to figure out some window treatments for our family room.
