Journaling reads: In August 2012, we set out to find our new home. We had our list of “must haves”, our list of “would be nices” and our list of “no ways”. After almost 4 months of looking at houses, we finally found the house we wanted to buy. We made an offer for my birthday and closed the day after our 25th wedding anniversary. I love the yard, the bonus room and the jacuzzi tub a lot, but my favorite place in our house is on my couch in our living room. From my couch I have a great view of the TV, my wonderful coffee table which lifts to desk height with my laptop, ipad and phone. I can look out the front glass door to enjoy my front yard or the windows to enjoy my back yard. This is where we entertain guests and take a nice Sunday nap. Life, business and general fun happen while I am enjoying my couch, it is my special place!!

Gorgeous clustering on the side with super shadowing! I like how you added your check list of must-haves...and how neat you found a place that fit what you were looking for. Your living room sounds awesome, as does that coffee table that changes height!
