Frugal Living Room/ Play Room

This is what you see when you walk in to the living/play room. We have to multi-purpose our rooms here...LOL...
First, you must stop and take a good looong look at "Bucky"...our awesome buck rob shot a few years back, it was so cool, he had Ashley (oldest daughter) with him! you see our couches...we have 3...and they were all free :0) Ugly...yup...functional....yup....kid friendly....yup! This room is meant to LIVE in...and we DO! I wanted pillows for the couch for the cooler weather as the kids lay on the couches with blankets often...I didn't have the money to buy any...so, until I can find time to make some, these will do! The mirror on the wall was a gift, as was the other wall decor for the entire room!
Here you see more of the ugly couches with the cushions on wrong...I do have kids...and this is a play room! LOL...I didn't realize they were this way until seeing the pictures! LOL. Oh well. I made the curtains from a bed sheet...the round table was Rob's grandma's. The candle and wreath on the round table were from Rob's mom...she also made the puzzle on the wall and Rob made the frame. FREE! And you can also see my VERY OLD dog! He is a grump and has decided he doesn't have to follow rules anymore...so he's on the ugly couch. He's 15 years old! When I'm almost 100 (dogs age fast) I think I might break some rules too! :0)
Here is the toy box!! It's a large cedar chest that was left here when we moved in! It serves very well as a toy box! Rob has screwed the lid to the wall...so no injures will occur! We like to have the kids play in THIS room. We usually don't allow toys to be brought thoughout the house. We have had people trip and fall over toys left about...and it looks sloppy!
We have a small living room, that really could use some help...lol...but hey, it works for us! We live in a very old house, and we aim to fix up on room a year, and only when we have the cash to do so...so, in 11 years....ready to laugh....we have only done 2 rooms! LOL...Someday we will get it all done & won't feel a pinch on our purse!
