"If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude." - Maya Angelou

We've had our living room the exact same way since the day we moved in

& it's the same way the people before us had it.

Not anymore folks!

 I've finally decided enough is enough & it's time for a change.

So I got brave & used my muscles last night to drastically change our layout.

I've still got a lot to do to get it back in order but the furniture is in its place.

Stay tuned for an update with before & after pictures.

We had a few good finds this week between antique shops & craigslist

& so we no longer need our beloved coffee table.

If anyone is interested in a Ikea Ramvik coffee table for $40....

....I haven't gotten around to taking an actual picture of ours yet.

The ends are drawers too. It's been great for extra movie & gaming storage!

Also, for the first time in my life I actually got rid of some books & movies.

I've been known to hoard them... even if I don't like them.

I have about 3 dozen books I've never read & will most likely never read.

I can now say I only have about half a dozen of those left.

Side note: We've lived down the street from Antique Co-op for over 3 years

& just now bothered to check it out. It is literally just down our street.

I just read on their website that they're the oldest & largest antique mall in Oklahoma City!

It is ginormous! We did not expect that. We kept losing were we where in the store.

It's definitely worth keeping an eye on if you're a frequent antique shopper.
