This is the card I gave mr. kenju on Father's Day.....
and here is the one our older daughter gave him. I guess we have him pegged, right?
Truth be told, it describes both of us nowadays. Our matching recliners flank a table and both are facing the TV, about 14 feet away. There is no question in anyone's mind what that room is used for......LOL
I'd love to rearrange the the room, but one end has a built-in bookcase/TV/DVD player cabinet We had it built in right after we moved in to this house, 28 years ago, and I'd give anything if we hadn't done that. This room also has 2 windows, a set of French doors, a bar with cabinets above and below, a fireplace, 4 door openings/arches and precious little wall space! I can't remember the dimensions, but it isn't a very large room. I'd love to rip out the bookcases and bar and start over, but it is too late in our lives to be starting something like that and I cannot bear the thought of having everything torn up for even a short time - even if we could afford it.
There is an easier way to cure at least part of the problem, and that is with a new flat-screen TV hung on the brick wall above the fireplace mantel. I can't afford that either - but I can dream - can't I? Do you think maybe OPRAH will send NATE BERKUS over here to do a make-over for us? Wouldn't that be wonderful???
