Rearranging The Living Room


 

 After taking down the Christmas tree,

I rearranged the living room.

This is where the table used to be

and I couldn't enjoy the 

fireplace that much.

 

Now the living room furniture

is on the side of the room

where the table was. 


 

Before

 

 

After

Now the table is where the 

sofa used to be.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I pulled the footstool

out of the bedroom

to use instead of the coffee table

now I can relax and put my feet up

and enjoy the fireplace 

and watch TV. 



The TV is setting on the hearth

and the chest that the TV was on

is now behind the sofa.


 


 

I haven't moved furniture in such

a long time . . .it's a refreshing change.

 


 

Oh, I did purchase one 

new item . . .

I found this print at Big Lots

for $35.

 

Well, that's it . . .

"Everything old is new again" 

Just from rearranging.

LOL

 

Wishing you all a wonderful

weekend,

God bless you all.

 

Your blogging sister,

Connie :)

  1. It looks so nice and cozy! I really like the footstool in front of the sofa, although your coffee table is really pretty too. Where did you put that? I like the new artwork too. You have such a great eye for decorating Connie. I'm very impressed. I hope all is well with you and you're keeping warm in front of that fireplace.
    Blessings and hugs,
    Betsy

    1. Actually the coffee table is the same height as the chairs for the table and I have a big intake vent on the floor that was under the sofa. So; I am now using it (with a cushion on top) as a bench on the window side of the table. I was afraid that the chairs wouldn't slice over the vent and the coffee table fit perfectly there with the vent under it.

  6. One of my very favorite pastimes is rearranging furniture. It's so refreshing to not only know that your house is clean but that you see a different aspect of your home. I'm a big fan of seeing different aspects in all areas of life!

  9. That's a lot of work moving all that furniture around, I bet you needed a cuppa and a rest at the end of that job! Everything looks wonderful, and yes, you certainly need to get the benefit from the fireplace.

  10. Your sitting room looks lovely, I like how you can now sit by the fire and put your feet up. I haven't re-arranged rooms forever. I often think about moving furniture around in my own living room but then don't act on it. Ours is quite small and there is limited scope for re-arranging but not impossible. It can make such a difference to how we experience a space.

  15. Sometimes rearranging a room can give it an entirely new look - as yours did! I like how you have that comfy chair by the fireplace so you can truly enjoy it. Our living room is small and closed off and there's only one place the sofa can go, so I can only do small rearrangements.

  16. Oh Connie it all looks terrific the way you have it, and now you can enjoy the wonderful fireplace much better. I have a table behind my sofa too :). That print is beautiful, would look great on one of my cards :)

  17. That looks so cozy...especially for the colder months! Your house is so cheerful with the colors you use. Take care my friend!

  18. Connie, I love what you've done with the living room. You know, the last few years I've been reading articles I find about people selling their home. One of the new aspects is called "staging the property". They make the house sell faster, and for more money, by making it look comfy and cozy. You're a natural at it! Congrats, Connie, and take good care my friend! John

I love where you put the table and love the blues and whites,,, and it looks so inviting! (I think I emailed you about this.. now that I put my head on straight!). :-) The chair by the fireplace looks like the perfect spot to be alot of the time! Happy "almost end of January".. .and I'm looking forward already, to some warmer weather. Hugs to you! Marilyn
