Show Us Your Life - My Living Room

I have been reading Kelly's Korner Blog for a while now and just love it!  Not only does she have an adorable little girl, but her daughter Harper and Lilli are about 2 months apart so I can really sympathize with her! 

On her website she has a section called "Show Us Your Life" where blog buddies can link up and share things.

 This week is all about living rooms.  I thought I would join in and share mine with you.  You can click on any of my pictures to make them bigger.

We have been in our house for 4 years now, and the living room is where we spend most of our time.  I love the color - Whitall Brown by Benjamin Moore.  It looks like a creamy chocolate milk!

This is our fireplace, a beautiful stacked stone.  The fireplace was nothing but pretty to me until the Ice Storm of 2009 - at that time all we had was heat from the gas logs so I learned to really appreciate the space directly in front of them (and it is also where we put our mattress and slept on the floor!)

The picture above this loveseat is a wedding gift from Jason.  It is a framed photo of the spot where he proposed, at the Missouri Botanical Gardens. 

There are several changes to our living room - we no longer have the coffee table out because of the dangerous corners.  Oh, and the space in front of the fireplace is filled with Lillian's toys.  But I wouldn't have it any other way!

I know it has been a while since I have posted - I plan to be back again very soon now that school has calmed down and I have more free time!  Until then, a photo of my sweetie enjoying her very first milkshake -
