I finally broke down (and now I am broke!) and ordered a few things for our empty den/sitting room, along with a media console that is more in scale with our 50’ ridiculous flat screen. Luckily I got some great deals, since most of the items are for a mostly underutilized room, I didn’t want spend too much money, but I did want to have some furniture in the room since we have several holiday parties coming up in our new home.

Our tv stand is rather out of scale with our television (this is actually a photo from our townhome in Charleston):

So I decided to get this media console that will accommodate that 50’ TV my hubby just had to have:

I think the black will look nice with our red furniture in our den, especially compared to our old one!

For our living/sitting room, I started with this sofa I found at Overstock.com. I would have rather had a Pottery Barn style, but I do like the vintage feel of this sofa and it is small enough to accommodate the irregular shape of the room.

Here is the empty room we will be putting this furniture in:

I also purchased two small rugs for the doors since we trek through this room every day, along with two bookcases to flank the fireplace, from Target. These rugs are likely temporary until I find something nicer that I really love.

The only problem with the bookcases is now I have to find something to put on them! The sitting room still has a long way to go (as does the rest of the house) but at least we are one step closer to turning our house into our home.
