We continue to work on renovating our family room. The latest edition includes this bistro set from Target. We bought it on-line, though had seen the version in black in the store. We are very impressed with this little set. It’s made of real wood, not veneer, and was only about $200. Plus they had a sale going recently where you gout 15% off on-line purchases as well as free shipping.

We arranged the couch around the TV to create a sort of island of furniture, and the table and chairs are placed behind it and against the wall so we have a place to surf with our laptops or whatever. I could even do a little beading over there if I wanted to, though we have a desk we plan to put in for that soon.

We also bought a few lamps, this time at the actual Target in our town, for $30 each. They are the touch-type, and we plan to pick up another. It’s so nice to finally have some light! There are no lighting fixtures, so it’s always felt like such a cave in there.
