What Our Place Looks Like Now

Okay, so we've been at our new digs in St Paul for almost three weeks, and it is finally starting to come together. Here are some recent pictures (please compare with the pictures from this post to see how far we've come). It's a wide open room, and we have a bunch of stuff we need to get in it, so it took much moving of furniture to finally settle up on this combination (which we may or may not let stay this way for an indefinite period of time).

I call this part of the room the living space:

This is the library:

This is the dining area:

This is the chiropractic space:

This is the kids area:

And this is the home office:

I have aspirations of getting actual pictures on the wall (those that you see are leftovers from my days of doing art shows, which I haven't had the heart to part with yet, and I just hung them up on random nails that were already left in the wall, thus explaining the haphazard placement), and maybe an end table... but for now, we're settling in and calling it "Good Enough".

Note: Most of the stuff you see pictured was given to us for free or we bought it for cheap:
Couch = free (thank you Dan and Allison)
Chairs = free (thank you Tonya)
Rug = free (thank you Jennifer)
Cabinet = $5 (thank you garage sale)
Kids' Area Rug = $2 (thank you different garage sale)
Kids' Area Shelf = free (thank you Jan)
