After dropping Kate off at the airport Tuesday I came straight home and started putting away the Christmas Decorations. Once put away, our family room just felt so empty and quite frankly depressing. The void of the tree, the Christmas Village...of Kate...was too much to handle honestly. I never felt like the room held it's true potential with the furniture set up the way it was. Now though, I LOVE this room! It feels so much warmer, and cozier. I utilized the rest of Mom's old suitcases to make a side table for the lamp and when Kevin got home and saw it he was thrilled!!
The new look for the room doesn't help the fact that Kate is back at school and not here, but it helps with the dreaded "after the holiday blues" that always seems to come when the Christmas decorations get put away and you realize that another Christmas has flown by way too fast.
I like the suitcases!
