Eh.. unless you can convince Blue otherwise, I'm not entirely happy about Wall O Wood entertainment area.
..he won't let us put anything up. HE wants to put up books "It's a library!" WE want to put up a set of Mouse Ear hats in the center top and scatter collectibles or what have you across the left and right top "It's a COLLECTIBLE shelf!"
We always had these grand plans for owning our own house and making a home theater with framed movie posters, etc.. Tableaux of his Transformers, Silly's Disney crap, and my... whatever I'm collecting at the time. Now that we're moving into The Dead Forest, all those plans have apparently gone out the window. We are going to "match the wood theme" or some crap. Make an "elegant/rustic" style living room and all our collectibles, wall art, etc will be going into the computer/art/bed rooms.
And don't get me started on how this was supposed to be an US thing but has gotten completely overwritten by his mother. He and I picked out a couch we were both happy with. Dark leather arms and back, butter cream microfiber seats and pillowbacks. Clean, simple lines. Beautiful fit for the dark of the room and the "old world-yness". Nice, firm support (essential, as I have shorter legs than Blue and Dreamy and bad knees) under the ass and across the back. He takes his mother to show her the set, she abandons him halfway there and finds a god-awful forest green couch that looks like someone threw up a load of stuffing onto a basic frame. One of those couches that looks like someone was making a souffle and it overrode the sides of the container and then collapsed. "Sit! Try it!" he says. "We've already paid for it!" he says. I kid you not, I sank like a stone. He had to pull me back out.
I also found (since we will need one after we sell this fourth-hand monstrosity of a clawed up recliner/rocker) a clean-lines, made for parents holding and/or feeding a baby, made to withstand the trauma of being in a nursery - AND moving out to the living room once the child is old enough not to need a nursery - recliner/glider. It's also capable of holding several (and I mean several) hundred pounds without warping. Welded and moulded steel pipe construction. Slip covers if you child manages to tear up the upholstery are around $50. Little less asexual, little more frilly and femme in the shape, but meh. It's exactly what we're looking for; small but sturdy, can be found in a multitude of colors to match the decor. Two days later, while we're in to visit our ugly formless couch, he finds his One True Love - a someone-spewed-stuffing, mondo-sized glider/recliner. AGAIN, my legs are too short. It costs more than our ugly couch set. His mother is planning to buy it for the nursery, if she saves enough on the baby furniture. I've only seen the nursery once, but between the crib, this monster chair, and her idiotically large dresser (unless his mom is replacing it).. we won't have room to maneuver, let alone deal with taking her in and out for sleep, quiet time, or changing.
Now the woman IS going to be our "landlord" while we pay off the loan she's giving us to buy this place, but come on..

On the plus side, we're setting up our tiny "foyer" to look like the drawing room of the Haunted Mansion.
Once we're in and our crap is set up, I'll likely get to taking pictures and sharing them around.
