Finally We Have Space!!!

This is what holidays used to look like at our house. People everywhere. All people who loved each other, don't get me wrong. But there were always a lot of people in a pretty confined space.

 We used every chair in the house and some people would still sit on the floor.

 We would turn our Amish table sideways in order to extend it as far as possible. We still had two leaves we could never use because we never had space enough to extend it all the way.

And, no, you could not open the refrigerator with the table like this unless the person sitting in front of it got up. (which they were always quite willing to do.)

It was tight!! Now that the new room is finished we have two different locations where the table can be extended all the way.

We can put it in the new room.

 Or we can extend it from the dining area into the living room/ (Because we removed a half wall here and moved the piano to the new room.)

And, yes, those are just random chairs in the new room. Still trying to make decisions about furniture.

Finally, we can spread out. God is good. All the time. Thank you, Lord.
