Jenna has been tossing around the idea of flipping our living room for the past few months. I fought it as long as I could since it would require rewiring the TV. As much as we love the open area from our kitchen to the living room, it has never felt cozy and comfy and I suspected she wanted to change for changes sake.
So after we took down the Christmas tree we decided to give it a whirl and live with it a bit. Obviously the DirecTV isn't hooked up but we have plenty of stuff to watch with the AppleTV.
It's a little hit and miss. It feels much more cozy but it also has a different flow. We are closer to the TV the stairwell wall is a little funky shaped for it. Then the 3rd night I walked in from the bedroom and caught Jenna reading next to the fireplace in the chair's new location. She looked right out of an LL Bean catalog-minus the clutter on the old TV stand. She looked just like my mental picture of what life would be like when I grew up. Kid's asleep in their beds while myself and a hottie read books by a fire.
I think we'll keep it like this and wiring be damned.
