I am getting IDEAS.
Jan. 13th, 2013 03:02 pmThis is dangerous. (^_^)
I've known for a while now that my big green comfy couch is showing its age and not well. The cuddler section, the one big chunk that can fit me and two kiddos, or Zahde, or kenshardick, is sagging. I can't flip the cushion due to the shape. And, let's be honest, it's really big. Too big for the living room, it dominates the space and forces the rest of the room to conform to it.
Since I got the air mattress and frame from Chezzie & Polar Bear, and various people have confirmed the comfort and usefulness of said set up, I'm more open to the idea of letting BGCC go in favor of something more appropriate to the room dimensions. SNB does not like window shopping, so I'm using the Intawebs. I also want to replace the computer desk.
By getting rid of BGCC, I gain about 113" of space. That will comfortably fit a sofa, even a sleeper sofa if I'm so inclined, and a corner computer desk. By doing that, the wall bordering the stairs becomes open for a chair, or a small loveseat, or even a console table and some of those cubes that are so popular now that can be used for seating. SNB's friends are younger then most of my friends, so they can use them, as can the kiddos to game.
As it is I'm going to have to replace my freestanding lamp. Sheshanaga broke it when he moved and fell off the shade. I feel bad, he really liked it up there. I want a similar lamp with a Tiffany-esqe shade. I also need a better DVD/game tower, as the one I have is overflowing. There's enough space for a wider one and maybe I could get the consoles themselves off the mantle and onto that. I'm a little sad the mantle has been taken over by the game systems.
I still want to paint the living room. Wolf and I had had an idea of painting one of the houses we were living in back in CO with a stipple of green and gold. The living room walls are that funky neutral that reveals highlights of orange and even grayish-purple in different lights. I think the green/gold stipple idea would work well in here, give the walls some depth and break up the funky highlights. It might even be cheaper then going with a solid new color.
Either way, this year the tax return is going to the hospital bills, *sigh* and to fix the chimney so we can actually USE it. It's tiny, so we won't need much wood to get a nice blaze going.
