i didn't learn photoshop in college for nothing!

yesterday, we spent our entire evening finally decorating our front room. in real life? nah, in photoshop of course!

it started with our room - nice and bland, but don't worry, room - we've got big plans for you


we found a "seat and a half" (how funny that that's the real name of a piece of furniture?) that we liked, but it's pretty freakin huge (notice the lovely striped fabric down the front of the couch?)


so, to see just how huge it will be (we were taking very special consideration the make sure everything was sized correctly in our room... that might be a lie...), we decided to add the piano stool that we're SO excited to get from my parents this month. okay, so we're getting the piano too, but we figured it'd be the stool that would be running into our huge chair. (plus we threw a rug in for good measure)


here's the thing with the boy, though. he's not content with just a seat and a half. he needs someplace to put his feet up. like a freakin huge ottoman to match the freakin huge chair and run into the piano stool even more!


and then we figured, we may as well throw the piano in there just to see how crammed it's really going to be (i know, i know - it's a little bit 2-d and nothing's blended quite right, but you get the idea...)


and, of course, we couldn't feel good about our music room until it was fully decorated with some musical stuff on the walls


pretty cozy, huh? and to top it all off, the boy woke up this morning to tell me about the books we can put on the coffee table we get for the room... wha? coffee table in the room too? wow...

and then it occurred to us, why does anyone ever decorate their house in real life? it's such a hassle buying and moving furniture. we're just going to decorate everything in photoshop.

so, what do you think? will you come visit us in our virtual music room? is this a total and complete disgrace of any and all design skills i should have learned from you, mom? at least we got an elton john album cover up on the wall...

also, our whole evening reminded us of this video (you will be sad if you don't watch this whole thing):
