A look at our Living Room

Welcome to our Living ( family room, play room, rec room, EVERYTHING room!) Room!! I'm linking up today with Kelly's Korner in her "Show us your Life series" . As many of you know we live in one of the 5 boroughs of NYC and real estate here is expensive to say the least. When we were planning our wedding almost 7 years ago we decided we wanted to purchase our first home before the wedding. So young and SO silly!! We bought at the worst time, rates were at an all time high and so were housing prices, oh well, you cant change the past and we are extremely lucky to have a roof over our head. Our house is not in it's usual condition as we are planning to move in the very near future, even hoping before Baby Girl comes, if not soon after. So here is a peak at our current living room and hopefully in a few months or within the next year I can share a new one with you.

 This is the view from our dining area. I hate the way there sofas photographed. They are "well loved" but do not look that bad in real life. They are from raymour and flanigan, and as much as I'd love to toss them when we move, Hubby says NO (lol) so they most likely be in the one of the rooms of our new home (which is required to have a living room and family room, hehe!)

 Hidden in the left hand corner, is Diaper Supplies ( will they ever potty train??, and 2 of Ava's favorite toys, her car garage and doll house)

 In the right hand corner is a HUGE basket filled with toys that I got at home goods and some other favorites. I can not wait to have a "toy free" living area again.

 These couches are HUGE, which I hate and love all at the same time. They are extremely comfy and we all fit well as a family on them.

 We have the TV on the wall and the Fireplace/ TV stand is from Home Depot, something I'd love to get rid of and most likely will! And of course pictures of my Lovies!

This is our little hall way to our Kitchen and Stairs. In only a month, I see a baby swing and pack and play taking over this space once again. 

All in all I think for having 2 toddlers in a small NYC town house I do a pretty good job of keeping it organized and neat. We did used to have hand me down end tables and a coffee table, but when the kiddos came we did away with them to make more space. I'm really looking forward to seeing others living rooms as I am excited to be able to start fresh and design an Adult Themed Living Area in the next home.

A vote for making it work in a small space?
