OC A living room update

Post image

Someone asked if the chair and light were gone from my last post yet. Yep. Some other things are gone now, too.

Lamp - gone. Son was going to put this with a few things he's storing in the basement but decided against it at the end so it was given away.

Table and rolling stool - gone. This was being considered before and I just made the decision to go ahead and part with it. It's being used by one of the kids now.

Blinds - still there. We did add back in some thin LED light strip things across the top of the windows. They plug in under the window.

Son's chair - gone. Back into their small storage area in the basement for either next winter or when they move out.

Mirror by the door - still there.

Air purifier - still there, but on that opposite wall now.

Both stupid plug adapter things - gone. No use for them and no one else in the house needed them - given away.

Fan - gone. Motor died, not fixable.

It's just a cat tree, the mirror by the door, and the air purifier in there now. The litter boxes were being lined up in the room to be changed and cleaned when I snapped the picture but they go off to their different spots afterwards. No one really uses the room anymore so it's just a spot where the cats can watch the outside and play. No plans to change that.

I think you meant to type “A cat room update.” 😄

I'm so annoyed with myself that I haven't thought to just call it that already. Lmao. I'm sitting in my den, looking through my kitchen and into that empty room. All of my cats are in there, sitting on the floor and staring back at me. It is their room, for sure.

Can we get a house tour?
