New Furniture

Tyson earned a couch set from his company, Preventive Pest Control, for being #2 overall for the summer (way to go, hon!). We were really excited to finally get new furniture and were completely decided on what we wanted: a dark leather set with swivel rocking chair. We searched for weeks for just the right set, but couldn't agree on anything...until we found this set. IT was totally different than what we thought we wanted in that room...but it was perfect. We both loved the colors and design, the size (super deep for us tall folk), and the comfort...it is so easy to fall asleep in. The matching ottoman was so perfect with both the chair and couch, we had to do it. We have loved finally get our living room the way we want it. We ordered a Minerva Teichert print, Christ in the Red Robe, and it is being custom framed to match the gold tassels on our drapes. We should be getting it around November 15....we're so excited. That picture is Tyson's favorite. We're going to hang it over the entertainment center where the big vase now is. The last step is a large sconce clock to hang above the half wall that separates the dining room and living room. Whew! It only took 6 months, but we'll finally have 1 room finished.

Carter's favorite thing about the couches: cushions. He builds forts, makes trains, and jumps. We couldn't have known it would have become one of Carter's favorite toys.


We realized the other day that almost our entire room was paid for by bonuses and prizes from Ty working for Preventive Pest Control. He earned an incentive for the TV 2 years ago along with the surround sound speaker system. This past summer we won the money for the entertainment center and now the couches. They've definitely been good to us! Thanks PPC!
