one step at a time to a new look for the home

been hearing my mom gripe to my dad that she wants to improve the look of the living room and i can't help but agree with her. the living room now looks too old with the sofa almost giving up on us in terms of how much we get to abuse it day in and day out. the coffee table needs a new polish. the tv needs a new home along with all the dvds we accummulated, not counting the ones the kids watch over and over.

but i suggested to mom to start with the lighting . with two lamps to light the living room, i think it's not enough, we need a better lamp something that would create mood lighting but at the same time provide enough light if one chooses to read rather than watch tv. i do hope mom would choose a nice lighting fixture that would match the look of our living room.

if not, i might ask hubby to buy a lamp for our own room instead.
