Andy took the day off, and we were determined to get the cowboy room complete - or at least half of it.  With the purchase of (yet another) Craigslist deal of the century - we picked up a sofa and ottoman - complete with tons of storage.  And, after the gong show of actually getting the furniture down the stairs - without yelling at each other or puncturing any of the walls - we begin the assembly of our latest living quarters.  The fireplace was painted, lamp put together, skull and artwork hung on the walls.  The TV was mounted and everything put into place.  The addition of some cowhide pillows and a soft throw - and half the room was complete.  (other side will be reading nook and art station - stay tuned...) 

It feels like this space adds so much square footage to our house - and the kids settled right it.  I see lots of naps, and movies and books read on that couch.

  Yee-haw!
