Behold, the beauty of Cheezleton Manor's freshly redecorated family room! A few coats of red paint over the weekend, new sofa delivered last week, various wall art redistributed...yes, we ARE having visitors this weekend, why do you ask?
Here's what the room looked like during the painting process, which lasted many hours longer than my actual interest in repainting the room:
Note the plastic wrap on the sofa. It only came off long enough to take the "finished" photo above, and was tucked back around the delicate new furniture mere moments later. I LOVE the plastic wrap! It may become a permanent fixture here. Not only is it extremely attractive, it is also a formidable deterrent of the non-declawed feline-variety beast that specializes in sofa destruction. Cats slide right off. Really quite satisfying. REVENGE, BITCHES! THE SOFA IS FIGHTING BACK!
[Editor's note: A few observant individuals have noted that the turquoise-y sofa pillows do not match anything in the room. Sometime during the intervening weeks between the purchase of the sofa and its delivery, I forgot that I had intended to paint the walls a nice neutral coordinating beige. Big oops. The orange rug doesn't match anything, either. Let's just all pretend that I'm colorblind and not mention it anymore, mmmkay?]
