Decisions, decisions, decisions

While our previous residences may be emptied, the keys turned in and the utilities transferred to our new home, we are far from settled in. There are many decisions to be made before our house can really be home.

Two homes merging to one brings with it certain duplicities. This past weekend we conquered setting up the kitchen - bringing order to the piles of boxes that had accumulated and finding a place for everything in the cupboards. It was during this time that Bryan learned I really am a sorter. Mom, this may come as a surprise to you but I do have some strong organizational tendencies that begin with my desire to have like things together.

Now that we are moving past kitchen organization it is time to tackle some other spaces. We have one living room and two sets of furniture. Originally we had thought that one set of furniture could live in one of the spare bedrooms. Unfortunately, the hallway doors are narrow and no large furniture can be moved down the hall. So, we must decide which set of furniture remains in the living room.

A few points to consider.

All of the walls in the living room are covered in a dark paneling. This has led some to question which set really fits in the room.

Both sets of furniture include a large couch (3 cushions), a oversized chair, and an ottoman. (The ottoman for the red furniture is actually covered with polka dots).

We are split in our decision, so we have decided to solicit outside opinions to help us with this task. (For those of you who know how well I like to shop - my indecision should come as no surprise). Obviously we both have our favorites in the race, so I won't share those opinions here. Please leave us a comment and let us know which set of furniture should stay.
