New Furniture!

We bought new furniture for the upstairs living room. I thought it was going to be too dark at first, but I really like it. Here's the couch and the coffee table (and Dum-Dum):
And here' "Sean's Chair" and his Ottoman that he HAD to have ;):
It really makes me like the color of the walls a lot better! The Roxinator is not allowed on this furniture, and she's been very good about staying off. I'm sure one of these days she'll sneak up there and we'll think it's cute, but for now she just lays on the floor near us when we sit in there. Sean uses it to study and I like to sit and read and watch the neighbors!

We also finished and hung our first piece of kitchen furniture. We stained it and poly'd it all by ourselves! The stain matches our kitchen table pretty nicely.

This thing was a pain in the tukus to hang, but we did it. It hasn't come crashing down yet! I'm using it as a spice rack...sure beats the box on top of other boxes in the living room that I was using.

Oh, and Sean wanted to prove that we hung it level, so here:

We REALLY need to change the ugly color in the kitchen, but that can be a winter/spring project. We have 2 more pieces to finish, but staining was such a pain that I think we might paint the big corner cabinet instead. After that, I think we're done starting new projects for awhile!
