I'm totally sitting around today and getting motivated about getting this house whipped into shape this year. It's just got to happen this year. The three oldest are doing their thing and I don't see any huge expenses coming up *crossing fingers*. My couches are so disgusting. We've had them now for 13 years and they've really fallen apart in the last 5 years. There are rips and large holes in them, there is an film on the sleeves from greasy hands and heads, and they just plain stink. We cover them with comforters to hide the grime, but I know what's there, lurking underneath. Ugh.
We have 7 in this family and a 3 bedroom home. Two of the oldest boys will only come home for visits now and my oldest will come home after college until he's ready to get out on his own. So he'll probably only be with me another 2-3 years at most (I'm guessing). That leaves the hub and me, and the two youngest, and visitors needing a place to rest their heads. Still, I'd like to fill the living area with daybeds that can serve as couches as well as a comfortable bed for visitors. I think the mattress can be covered with attractive and suitable slipcovers and pillows to make it a really nice family room. I'd like to go with a moroccan theme as well. I love that.
My idea would include three daybeds (maybe like this one pictured above) and put two of them end to end on one wall, and then the third against another, shorter wall. This daybed has camoflaged drawers which are absolutely perfect for extra storage like blankets and sleeping pillows for our guest.

Additionally, I'd like to add a couple of really comfy recliners to the room and finally some carpet. Getting our bookshelves straightened and the clutter put away would seel the deal for me. *squeeling*
