The bedroom: Our bedroom had been furnished with my late aunt's dresser, two telephone tables we used as night stands, my late grandfather's chest of drawers and my in-law's armoire. We had no headboard and footboard. We ended up buying a new bedroom suite from Wolfe Furniture. We selected the Livingston collection by Broyhill and absolutely love it! We purchased a headboard, footboard, siderails, dresser, and night stand. We decided to keep our armoire and my grandfather's chest of drawers due to our affinity for those two pieces.
The living room: Our living room was furnished with a hand-me-down sofa and loveseat we got from Rob's parents, my late grandmother's coffee table and end table, my late grandfather's corner victrola table, and Rob's old dresser that we were using as our china buffet. This year we removed Rob's old dresser and replaced it with a cherry buffet that we found at a furniture store outside of Baltimore and we also replaced the corner victrola table with a cherry curio cabinet. We plan to shop for a sectional sofa, coffee table, and end table down the road.The piano room: Our current piano is a hand-me-down from a widower at my former church. We have recently come into possession of my late grandfather's upright piano so we have given our friends our old piano. Only problem is that my late grandfather's piano has been painted white and doesn't look right in a room full of cherry wood so we will be painting the piano a dark cherry brown so that it matches the rest of the furniture. The piano room is going to be completely overhauled and most likely also made into a partial playroom for Alaina. More on this to come after I figure out what in the heck to do with it. :)
