For the first few weeks of May our living room was completely empty. Jeff’s grandmother decided she didn’t like her living room furniture anymore so told us we could have it. With the help of my friend Diane and her husband Scott we got our old furniture moved downstairs and they took the basement couch off our hands for their daughter Karley who is getting an apartment at Emporia State next year. The only time we had a weekend when we were both free was at the beginning of May and Jeff’s grandmother’s new furniture wasn’t being delivered until May 15. So we enjoyed a big open empty space for a few weeks and it proved to be a great place for my friend Jessica’s little girl to take some of her first steps.
It has taken us a while to get used to the new furniture. It’s much more formal than what we had before. Today the final piece of furniture was purchased to finish off the room. Our old coffee table didn’t really go with the new furniture so I got the idea to buy a large leather ottoman. I found the perfect one at a furniture store out east and it really looks great. Hopefully we will start spending a little bit more time in the living room now.
In other news we went to the pool today for the first time of the season. Our neighborhood pool doesn’t open until tomorrow so we went over to grandpa’s house to swim. Grant and his friend Hayden had a blast.

Love the furniture. Though Sophia might be sad that you filled up her walking area. :)
Cute pictures from the pool.
I love the new furniture too! It looks so comfy and pretty at the same time and that's hard to do!
