<p>I hate to break this almost perfect streak of me not writing about anything of substance to share actual <em>news</em> with you, but screw it. I&#39;m so excited I can&#39;t help myself!</p>

<p>Surely you remember the sorry state of my living room? No? You have more important things to think about you say? No worries -<a href="http://diary.blogs.com/the_diary_of_a_reluctant_/2008/03/the-one-where-i.html"> here&#39;s a reminder.</a> (Blogging is so useful sometimes!) </p>

<p>How cold and unwelcoming - but no more! Ladies and gentlemen, I now present you...Furniture!</p>

<p>TA-DA!</p>

<p>Isn&#39;t it exciting! We now have actual chairs where you could sit and chat if you ever were to come visit:</p>

<p>And here&#39;s a view of the room:</p>

<p>I know what you&#39;re thinking, &quot;Roxanna? How can we say this nicely...your three chairs and rug are cute and all, but how could we possibly visit? There&#39;s no place to put our drinks, you have no couch - and the sun! It&#39;ll be in our eyes!&quot;</p>

<p>Friends! There&#39;s no need to worry - the couch is on back order and will arrive, oh, probably never. You know how these furniture people are. I also know that the curtains will be some sort of shimmery gold, but the saleswoman pissed me off so now I need to find someone else to make them.</p>

<p>I was, however, very pleased to see a picture of a couch that looks very much like the one we are waiting for on the cover or <em>House Beautiful</em> and it just so happens to be shown with curtains very similar to the ones we want:</p>

<p><a href="http://www.everydaytreats.com/photos/uncategorized/2008/07/01/61kod3sl5dl_ss500_.jpg"><img alt="61kod3sl5dl_ss500_" border="0" class="image-full at-xid-6a00d8341db04e53ef01310fa3981e970c" src="http://www.everydaytreats.com/wp-content/uploads/6a00d8341db04e53ef01310fa3981e970c-pi.jpg" title="61kod3sl5dl_ss500_" /></a> </p>

<p>The couch will go in front of the windows here:</p>

<p><a href="http://www.everydaytreats.com/photos/uncategorized/2008/07/01/2623721788_fb1c74e928.jpg"><img alt="2623721788_fb1c74e928" border="0" class="image-full at-xid-6a00d8341db04e53ef01310fa39829970c" src="http://www.everydaytreats.com/wp-content/uploads/6a00d8341db04e53ef01310fa39829970c-pi.jpg" title="2623721788_fb1c74e928" /></a> </p>

<p>Apparently I couldn&#39;t be bothered to pick up the toys before taking the picture, but I could be bothered to &quot;Photoshop&quot; the couch into the living room. See? It even came with a coffee table! If only life were so simple!</p>

<p>Next up? Deciding what kind of tables to buy. Should we go metal and glass like on the magazine or should we go wood?</p>

<p>I don&#39;t know what to do. What say you?</p>
