What a weekend! We now have a totally different room downstairs (second bedroom), and it will work much better for us. This room has been usable but not great since we moved, we've just been making use of furniture that we already had. Now its like a whole new room....
Nothing like a deadline to get us moving! My mom will spend the night with us next weekend so we knew we had to get this room fixed up soon. We finally got rid of an old couch and ottoman, good furniture just too big for the space and not what we need anymore. With that gone, we were finally able to put together the new sleeper sofa we'd bought (and stop having it hanging out in the garage in a box). We are now ready for short guests! I mean short literally, as in not tall, since the couch isn't all that long. I suppose a tall person could lay diagonally on it? My mom can tell us how comfortable it is.

The biggest change was getting a new desk for Kevin. We had this tiny desk that just wasn't working and he spends a lot of time prepping lectures at the computer so we really needed a new set up. This was an adventure in itself as he found a used furniture place online that we went to see. It was the strangest set up I've ever seen.....i'f you've ever wondered what happens to office furniture when it is replaced or a company goes out of business....this is it. I'd never seen so many file cabinets and white boards....we found a desk that will work -- just a large tabletop and plenty of space for his legs, and even found a nice desk chair to boot! We were not sure if it would fit into our vehicle but managed to get both in with our tetris skills and got it set up at home. we even had the tools necessary to drill a few extra hidden holes for all the wires we have. Its a pretty nice set up and he's already using it....
