We've been in the house for over ten years now, and still haven't done a thing to the formal living room. We scarcely use it, and we've talked for years that it needs a coat of paint and some rethinking about what we can use it for. And the furniture probably needs refreshing after 20 years too.
Last month, we went back to our old friends at (don't laugh) La-Z-Boy, whose stuff has been a mainstay of our family room since we moved in. Turns out they have an actual real live interior designer on staff, and Tanner came out to take a look at our space and give us some ideas. Last weekend we met with him to see his ideas, and we signed a deal whereby he'll redo our entire living room for us later this winter/spring.
Before it goes, though, one last look around the current space (as configured for Chili Bowl XXI today):
 |
| Living room, into the dining room (also to be painted this year?) |
 |
| What visitors currently see when they first walk in…to be changed! |
 |
| From the dining room looking out; the TV usually isn't there, that's just for Chili Bowl. |
Without giving away too much, be on the lookout for major change coming in the ~March timeframe. I have some painting to do in the meantime, and (for the first time in at least 10 years) the floors will be sanded and redone too! But what will come in its place? Here's a hint…and it's only a hint for now! (OK, two hints: Think Paris!)

| Tanner's idea board for us…how will this all come together? Tune in and see! |
