Well, the new furniture was delivered on Saturday and we love it.  What struck me immediately as I sat on the sofa was this: what a view!  We have never had a couch in that room before and relaxing there with a cup of coffee yesterday morning made me realize how nice it was to look out that big, bright window!

An unexpected bonus..for sure.

Seems like it has taken forever to get to this point..painting, selling the piano, Salvation Army pick-ups, reassigning furniture to different rooms, but the vision is finally taking shape! A few plants and lamps and this room will be done!
