Last weekend, my Dad brought us an entertainment unit (shelving). Today, we rearranged the living room to make room for it. It needs to have some screws tightened, but it is otherwise in good shape--after we cleaned and dusted it thoroughly. It will be used to store books, videos and various items we want to display. The living room looks quite comfortable now. We put the couch perpendicular to the bar, with the coffee table in front of it so that there is plenty of room to walk. I moved the cats' climbing toy over in the far corner of the living room so that they will have their own space for play, climbing or resting. One of the bookshelves that was in the living room will be moved into the office for storage, and the other will be near the kitchen so that we can store cookbooks. Jay got tickled that I was moving furniture myself, but it does feel good to help, and this way it gets done without both of us being stressed out.

Once we get the shelves moved, we will be able to unpack more of our crates, and they can be stored.
