Living Room Arrangement And A Wrap up

Good Morning to Everyone : )  

 

We have been hosting a lot lately and just recently there was a singer/songwriter's group at our house.  I love hearing the lovely sound of voices and instruments through my home.  

Having people over is more of an incentive to create an environment that people love to come to and enjoy.

Which leads me to our living room..

I spoke about it here.  In that post you will see the layout of the furniture before.

I decided to change it because just like the dining room that arrangement wasn't working for us.

The flow into the living room is so much more open compared to how it was before.  

I didn't want to block the view by putting the sofa in front of the window and making the windows seem smaller than they were.  That lamp on the table actually goes into my family room..hahaha.  

Now that flow has been established I will soon be able to add the other layers into the room : )

By the way, I do want to wrap up our basement situation.  If you haven't read about it check it out..

1.  Rising Water

2.  Demolition Part 1

3.  Demo Part 2 : Clean and Clear

4.  The Why and How

That situation had plagued us for quite some time and I am happy to say it plagues us no more.

This makes me so happy!  That rotten smell and pools of water will no longer be an issue.

Here Corey is filling it back up.  Now we have not cemented it back yet to make sure the pipes were in full working order.  I am happy to say no problems have arose.  Whew : )

  Hoping your week is full of creativity.

Basement Drain Part 3: The Why and How

Good afternoon : )
I want to thank all of you who have visited my guest blog post at Welcome To The Laundromat.  Thank you for sharing part of your heart with me as well.

Continuing about our basement...

We are finally making progress with this drain.  If you have missed out on the previous posts you can check them out here and here.

My husband, Corey, is going to explain why we were having drain issues and how to fix it.

Here is a blooper..too funny : )

I will be sharing the wrap up of this project very soon. 
  I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and enjoy the little adventures in life : )

Demolition Part 1

Good Morning!  Today we are having a bonfire and have about 50 people coming.  It's going to be so much fun.  Will have to share some pics with you all : )

On Monday I shared about our dilemma in our basement that you can check out here.

The drain cleaner worked for a little bit but we were right back into water issues. 

Now we are into the fun part..demo.  I really wanted to get the root of the problem fixed asap because of the damage the water has been causing.

Here is Corey giving a tip on how to penetrate the concrete floor safely.

Look at what we discovered to be our problem..

We are into it now..

Will let you all know how this process goes : )
