Room Switcheroo

Over the weekend, I began to consider my furniture and whether or not it has the best placement. This is actually a hobby of mine. You never know where the furniture will be when you come over. :)

Currently, I have a mixed set in the dining room, with an expandable table, and 4 comfy chairs. See below.

















The kitchen area has an oak color table which seats 6.
















I think it's time to paint the kitch oak set a black with a brown diamond pattern, and move it to the dining room. It would look a bit more formal with a different color and I can move the small hutch with it.

The mixed dining room set will be moved into the kitchen, with the table extensions removed. It's chairs are so comfortable, and with a few white slip covers, it would make a nice kitchen set.

Thoughts?

Enjoy! :)

TV Room Re-do

The bug bit me yesterday- the "re-arrange your furniture" bug!

I struggle with my tv room for soo many reasons, including:
1. It is rectangular instead square.
2. Too many openings into other rooms or access for windows. Don't get me wrong, I like an open floor plan, but this is pretty ridiculous.
3. Part of the kitchen counter comes out into the room, so I pretty much cannot use that wall.
4. The media center is way too big. I need to invest in a flat panel and get rid of the monster.

On to the show: here is the before,












And here is the after. I took the advice of quite a few HGTV's and TLC's and angled the couch. Truthfully, I'm not real sure if I like this but it makes for a nice change.












What do you think? Is the angled couch working?

Productive Weekend

This weekend, I worked on my file cabinet (before). After 2 coats of paint and some gloss, it looks fabulous! Yeah!

Also, I was able to work on my laundry room. It looks so much better! I might even be able to leave the door open when people come over. I'll show it tomorrow, as it needs one last tweak.

:) Enjoy!
