We live in the basement of a house. Our landlords were gracious enough to furnish this house for us poor newly weds who have no furniture. For the year and a half we have been married, we having been watching TV on someone else's couch, storing our pictures and books on someone else's bookshelves,and heating our food in someone else's microwave. Well, yesterday we made our first furniture purchase. We call it, our big blob of goodness. It is big, it is blobby, and it is good. It takes up a third of our living room, and we can run and launch ourselves on it like a pile of leaves. Fortunately, it is much cleaner and softer than leaves.

Finally we shoved it in, unsure if we'll ever be able to get it back out! And, what you've all been looking for, a picture!

I am so happy with where we are currently at, but still have some plans before it's finished. So, here is what it looked like the day we bought the house. Seven years ago. Don't let the "grass" fool you. It's just weeds. And the ugly brown window trims paired with the ridiculously old glass in the windows and the green brick with maroon grout. Not too pretty. We have since painted the door, trim, and replaced the windows. Also replaced the porch light and house numbers. This spring we also had a new concrete half circle driveway installed. We live on a busy street and our front yard is useless and our driveway is tiny. So now we have much more functionality, less weeds, and overall happiness. After the driveway was installed, I also ripped out the rest of the grass and installed some decorative...
