living room equals play room.

Remember awhile back when I talked about living room inspiration and then I talked about the long nights we spent painting our living room? Well, we are finally finished and I love the white walls and white trim, which is a good thing because I don't think Jon will ever pick up a paintbrush again. I was hoping to post my before and after shots, but to be honest, I'm just not ready. I'm still searching for a canvas to hang above the couch. Speaking of couches, we finally got a new one! It was a joyous day. I have lived with holes, stains and rips long enough. Unfortunately, we won't receive this beauty for seventy days.

So, as you can tell, this is not a glamorous remodeling post. Instead, I decided to share what really makes our living room. I was in the kitchen cooking and peeped around the corner to check on the kids. Jonas was reading downstairs and Jessica and Joshua were in the living room. I sat silent for several minutes watching their interactions and play. I observed Joshua's creativity and role playing. I'm not sure exactly what or who he was playing, but it put a smile on my heart.

These pictures are the moments I captured. I don't need a fancy canvas painting, I don't need a cozy microfiber couch and I certainly don't need costly decorations to make my living room beautiful. I need my children, my family, their imagination, their voices.


























Today I'm linking up with Morgan and Gussy.
