We've been in our home for 1.5 years now and we've done quite a bit. Lots of painting and updating of lights, etc.., it's been fun. We hadn't bought any furniture since we really didn't need anything right away. B's mom moved in with us and brought her own furniture. There was one room that I'd been chomping at the bit to work in... the living room.
We put our couch in the basement for the kids to
wreck use and we put J's in the living room. It wasn't purchased for a family of 6... and so it was small. A small couch. So we couldn't all sit on it... and it wasn't comfy or the type you can sprawl all over. So we did it. We bought a big comfy couch (was there some kind of kid show called that?).
Last night as R and I were snuggled next to B, and A was snuggled next to me... (so in essence, we were all snuggled up)... A looked around and said "This is the perfect couch for us."
It's not about the "stuff" - trust me, I get that. But it sure is nice when the "stuff" helps create the "moments". It was nice to all be together. All snuggled up, comfy, watching a re-run. Creating a moment on our very big, grey couch.
