Come on in......

It's not quite done and I'll be darned if I could get the pictures to make it look as cosy and glorious as it looks to me......it's my front room, my matching and comfy and tidy front room.
I think what makes it most fantastic, to me, is that apart from the curtains, everything is either from E.bay, car boot sales or the reclaimation yard...the sofas were actually in someones shed and they were about to have them taken away ... one man's trash is definately my treasure!
I bought the huge coffee table when Dan was a year old, we lived in Germany and I loved it, a neighbour was moving back to the UK and didn't want to take it. It has been climbed on, jumped off, eaten from, drawn on and loved in more homes than it should have been dragged into , mum loved it for me while I was in the states and now it's being climbed on and jumped off again by the new batch of bouncing boys!
Having said that the littlest heathens are actually very respectful of this room, we have a sticker chart in operation and they NEEEEEEEEED stickers, they love them and dream of them and the worst thing in the world is to get no sticker but a frowning face.....no jumping means a shiny happy face sticker. Toys away means a 'fantastic' or 'superb' sticker..... 8 days and we have had only one frowning face ( Isaac) and no time outs, hardly any yelling and as helpful little boys as you could ever hope to meet.
Today Isaac brought 3 toys into the front room, right after they had tidied up their toys, Seth said " Right Isaac, play with those properly, don't just dump them on the table and go and get more and put them away when you've finished."
Yippedy doo dah!
