Furniture...

 

It helps make a house a home.  As does the loving occupants.  Today was furniture day.

We shopped at the same store where Steph and Dan bought their furniture - besides the fact that the store had the nicest furniture and the best variety, we were able to get it all delivered at the same time.  Our new friends, Jose and Chris went right after it.  Ah, to be young and have a strong back again.  The leather couch with two sections of electric recliners had to be heavy - they toted it in and put it in place like it was a feather-weight...

 The rug and lamp we picked out have been ordered and should be here in a couple weeks.  In the meantime...

We are in dire need of some decor on the walls.  The headboard, footboard, dresser, and night stands are solidly built - again, they carried it in without breaking a sweat, and being careful going through doorways.  Before the Select Comfort mattress was put in place...

Even the slats are nicely finished (kinda looks like koa).  A shot from the doorway with the mattress in place...

Joan is still deciding on what to do for black-out curtains in there.  She got the compressor connected and we laid on the bed... oh, I have missed this mattress.

I was in charge of getting Steph and Dan's furniture placed in the right spots.  Their living room is a lot bigger than ours, and will hold a lot more furniture...

I didn't get a photo of all the furniture in their bedroom, but I did take this photo for Steph (I sent her photos of the process) when the guys put the headboard against that blue wall: very striking...

While one guy was positioning their living room furniture, the other was assembling the desk for Dan's office...

The desk has electric and USB outlets built in; it is going to be very functional when Dan works from home.

While these delivery guys were finishing up, another delivery of our TVs arrived.  We spent time getting them set up and put in place. 

The other room I spent time in today is still boxes and guitar cases: I haven't decided what I want for a layout in there.

More mail today: we now have Arizona license plates on the Equinox and the bikes.  I guess that makes us official AZ residents.  A lot to do still to get settled in.
