Lazy Days Are Here...

I am so excited!

Yesterday we ordered our new Lazy Boy furniture to replace our old - and I mean OLD...over 25 years old - dark blue (huge) five piece Sears modular unit.

We splurged and ordered two power recliners and one smaller manual recliner for our family room.   

Hubby's requirements weren't much - a recliner comfortable for him and one with a high back for neck support!  He's tall at 6 feet.  

Our family room is our TV watching room so we wanted to have chairs that would be comfortable to sit in to watch a movie for a few hours.  We decided not to have another sofa in the room just four chairs.  We wanted more room to get to our windows and our wall units.  

Here are the two fabrics I picked and Hubby approved.

The flowered blue and red fabric will be placed on the smaller manual recliner (chair style shown above).  This little recliner is very comfortable too.  

The solid light blue fabric will go on the two power recliners we ordered.

This is the power recliner style we ordered. 

 We have Lazy Boy furniture in our living room and love it - you can't beat the comfort. 

I like to have the foot rest completely filled in with padding and these chairs fit that requirement.  Oh, I forgot, the power chairs rock too!  

I love rockers!!!

We ordered the two power recliners to include the headrest and lumbar options.  The headrest is so neat.  It's going to be great to be able to adjust our head position for TV viewing.    

The power positions available are limitless.

Take a look at the remote for the power recliners!

(Sorry for the fuzzy photos - lack of light)

I love the touch of red I'm bringing into our family room.

Red is my favorite color followed by blue!

I moved this blue leather Ethan Allan wingback down to our family room from our upstairs library. 

 I inherited this lovely chair/ottoman from my brother. 

 The leather had been badly scratched by a cat so we purchased additional flowered fabric to recover it someday to match the small new recliner.  

Now we (...ah...I) have to wait until September to get our new Lazy Boy chairs.  

I'm not good at waiting!

I'm good at whining though!

You will have to wait until September to see our new chairs.  

So no whining!

IKEA Laptop Table

I love my Apple MAC Laptop.  

It was great to use on my kitchen counter top if we were looking something up quickly but it was tiring if we spent any amount of time there.  It also worked well at the kitchen table if I was surfing or blogging until it was time to set the table for meals.   

Clearly I needed a table just for my laptop.  We looked at desks but they would have stuck out too far into the dinette area.  So, we journeyed to IKEA the other day to see what they had.  

This is our kitchen corner BEFORE photo:

Now the AFTER photos:

We had a small dresser in the corner.  After moving it out we had this blank space:

 Hubby started to install the new IKEA laptop table.

After bolting the support bracket to the wall hubby inserted the felt drawer.

And then put the top on.  This is the top in the closed position.

And this is the top in the open position with the black felt drawer showing.

  The pulled out position gives room for the computer top to open up.

And this is my computer laptop table all hooked up.

 The drawer holds light weight items:  a pencil, memo pad, camera thumb, portable backup hard drive and IntelliScanner (handheld unit that reads barcodes for inventory gathering).  

I have lots of natural light from the Pella French doors and I can watch TV too.  Now my dining table and kitchen counter are not cluttered with my laptop.  This laptop table doesn't intrude into the dinette area at all.   

I love it!
