Tackle it Whenever
Yes, this is my living room. Well, it was. I know, it looks like a tornado hit. Well it did. My daughter. In fact that is her nickname: The Tornado. and while this is not entirely her fault, she helped. So when my mom offered to give us a beautiful three piece entetainment center and she hired the movers to bring it in less than 24 hours, I decided that it was time to tackle this massive mess.
I worked long and hard in between tweets and surfing the net. Then, my husband helped when he got home from work at 1:00 am. And then we moved some stuff in the morning. Still, it wasn’t until after 9:30 PM that night that the living room actually started to take shape. Of course much of this had to do with the fact that I had a EXQUISITE piece of furniture to work around. And so, without further ado, I introduce my new living room.
Isn’t it beautiful?! I love it and so does my daughter. She likes to open and close the cabinet and roll around on the rug. It’s a good quality rug too- soft and thick.
It’s funny how one really expensive and beautiful piece of furniture can change your mood. I was geting kind of bummed because my apartment lacked character and style, but not any more. It is beautiful. It almost makes the big whole in my wall left by the movers worth it- ok, not quite.
Next, my dining room table. 
This is what happens when a mom is trying to start her own business and a husband is working very hard to pick up the slack. Hey you think this is bad? You should see my bedroom. I have a lot to do before Thanksgiving Dinner.

Yeah, now that I look at the picture, it doesn’t look that bad- but truthfully, i started cleaning before I had the idea to take a picture. When I finsihe my dining room area and get my Grandfather Clock working, I will take better pics.
I wanna see yours…what are you doing to it?
hehe can’t fight kids 
they will make a mess everywhere.. by the way you have a beautiful living room
It is strange that we added a large piece of furniture, but know have more room. The furniture has been rearranged and we have more usable space. It’s so nice.

Your daughter’s nickname is funny. We call our little one (Sean) Taz because he can tear up a room in the blink of an eye!
My living room looks the same, it takes all of an hour for my kids to mess it up whenever I clean and my daughter hates to clean up after herself.
Stephanies last blog post..play dough cookies with a princess
My in-laws named her that because when we would leave after a visit, their house would look like they were hit by some sort of storm. I guess it was better than my nickname Tigger because I was very hyper. LOL.
Thanks for commenting and visiting.
Hey Stephanie. the problems is that you have “kids” and I have one kid. She is hell on wheels. LOL.

From the picture the living room didn’t look that bad. It just looked like you needed to put the toys away. Perhaps there was more to it that I couldn’t detect.
Nice entertainment center and rug.
I started working on my room today. It is not done yet but I am getting there.
