Summer Vacation to Bahamas

Day 1: 

After spending the 4th of July in Roosevelt and not getting to bed until 2 am - our 8 am Flight from SLC to Miami felt earlier then it really was.  Kids had a tough time getting up but then caught the "vacation happy spirit".

Unexpected Remodel

It started with a wanting new carpet.

We went to RC Wiley and instead of finding new carpet we found a new 

Dinner table....

So we sold our old one.

Our New Dining Room Set arrived.

Then we decided on New Carpet - darker.  Not realizing just how DARK it was. :(

Our furniture and carpet became ONE.

So we decided to try to sell our COUCHES.  They sold in one day.

We searched and searched for new couches but couldn't agree.

Aaron had two requirement - 1. leather 2. recliner

We found a perfect CHAIR.  It was a great price so we bought 2.

 (pictured is our LIVING room couch that we pulled in so we weren't sitting on the floor)

Still couldn't agree... decided to try a sectional with his leather chairs.  We found a beautiful gray material sectional but feared our entertainment center would make for a very crowded room.

so .... Let's try to sell our Entertainment Center.

It sold quickly. 

Finally we find a New Entertainment Center 

and while shopping Aaron sees a taupe leather reclining sectional... FINE!

New Entertainment Center 

 New Couch

New Color Scheme... Out with with fall Reds, Mustards, Oranges

In with the Grays, Blues, and Reds.

Dawn sheds many tears.  

You know you're at the end of your rope when you cry over FURNITURE!!

New Couch arrives... I think I can do this.

New Entertainment Center arrives... YIKES!!  TEARS!

Not sure I can do this

Let the Decorating Begin...
