Ta Da!

The living room looks amazing! I love it! It looks much more organized and clean. Actually cleaning is a lot easier now too! I eliminated a lot of clutter and bulk and even created a faux office in my living room! Not too complicated!  I must admit most of the great ideas came from my sister. She has just always had a different way of looking at things. So with that chore all done it was time to scratch one more item off my list; date night with my hubby. We wanted to go out to dinner to a restaurant we had never been to before but funds were low and we had to improvise. So we called up a sitter for the kids and had an evening in. We made nachos, (Jose's idea) , and we shared one of those small individual servings of cake they sell at the bakery. It was so relaxing and refreshing. I remember when Jose finally got the kids packed up and left to take them to Grandma's house, I literally started giggling to myself. I felt a little silly at first but  I couldn't stop! I was a great night and we decided we need more of those kinds of nights. We just sat together on the sofa enjoying our quiet and empty house! It was so therapeutic and we really connected. I would recommend it for any young couple with kids. It was cheap, simple and totally worth it! 

Here are the pics of the living room! BEFORE....

 AFTER......

 We moved the desk into a new corner of the room and it created a seperate office space in the loving room.

 I unclutered the bookself and left room on the bottom to stash Lili's toys.
