A living room wishlist

February 1, 2016

One of my favourite things about this house is that we have more than one living room. After spending six years in a teeny house with the smallest living/dining room, having space to spread out is a huge treat. The kiddos have a playroom, we have a den that functions as a ‘man cave’/sleepover/guest room...
