Rearranging

When I was a young girl.....I would get in these "moods" where I wanted to rearrange my bedroom. Don't ask me why....but I just couldn't take the way things looked and wanted to try and make it look better. My parents would come home from work and often find that I rearranged all of my bedroom furniture...and as I got older...I would sometimes even rearrange other furniture in the house! (remember those days??)

Since owning a home....I don't find myself doing it quite as much.....but I still have those moments....for example...last night....I got home...and decided that the entryway by the stairs needed a new look. I had wanted to buy a small table to go there...but just didn't want to spend any money.......and I remembered at Christmas time I had moved our sofa table there to allow more room for the Christmas tree....so.....I moved the sofa table to the wall....hunted around the house for some decor stuff...and voila! The before and after pictures are below.

Oh...the clock was already hanging there.......I couldn't find the picture of it...so had to use a picture from when we were doing the wainscoting.


Before.....

I even got the entire downstairs cleaned...well except for the bathroom....I love a clean house and fresh and new decorating ideas!! It's exactly what I had been wanting...and it cost me nothing!

And what is even better is that our family room and dining area now has more space!! Now...I must get back to making handbags! Ha!

Off to babysit my little "I" tonight....more to come tomorrow.
