2 New couches!?

When Travis and i got married we were gifted a living room set although nice, it was meant for a smaller room then we have. No matter how i arranged it there was always weird dead space. It drove me nuts but i dealt with it. But after 10 years, 3 kids and 2 cats destroying them i couldn't stand it any more. And talked Travis into using some of our tax money to buy a new sectional for the front room Here are some before pictures.

As we were looking we found one that we really liked for down stairs but weren't sure if it would fit.... after some measuring we figured it would fit perfect! So i deep cleaned down stairs as well and took some before pictures. This was between the wall and the couch!!

We also got a newer used tv from Travis brother Matt so we went a head and installed that.

We were able to find all but one piece for upstairs on clearance one piece was in Syracuse  and their clearance team doesn't deliver to Slc so we put all the seats down in the van and Picked it up. The kids fought over who got to put their feet up!

We put plastic caps on the kitties nails to hopefully stop them from clawing the new couches.

We gave our old couches to Connor who conveniently was moving into his own apartment the weekend all this went down. We helped him load it on the truck and  set it up at his apartment perfect fit! while the room was empty we scrubbed the floors and walls!

While we waited for the new couches to arrive we put the couches from downstairs upstairs since we all ready had half of the one for downstairs.

I didn't realize how beat up these ones really were. these were pics i took to show the damage to the people in the ward who took this couch.

While i had all the cushions off for cleaning the kitties decide that they were going to climb inside the couch!!

We also got a  new rug it was rolled up pretty tight and had lots of wrinkles so we used weights to to help straighten it out.

The rest of the couch down stairs was one of the first to arrive in the morning here is the after.

Kitties waiting for the rest of the up stairs couch to arrive. Most of it arrived with the one down stairs on the clearance truck the other one arrived about 3 hours later on the regular truck.

The finished product!! The couch fits the room so much better! And its something that i picked out and wasn't just given and hoped that it worked. I found it and chose it along with my husband we measured and planned and made sure it would be perfect. I find myself  just looking tin the room and smiling because i love how it turned out so much!!

The kids were excited to see the finished product after school as well.

And the kitties approve!

Heres some before and afters of both rooms side by side.
