Change of Scenery

​Am I the only one that doesn’t have time to do important things but then miraculously finds four hours to spend rearranging furniture? Yep – that’s what I did this weekend. Broken toe and all, I spent hours with a friend moving furniture from side to side.
 
And how did that start you ask? Well, I’m a bargain lover and when I spotted these two lovely chairs for sale on my neighborhood page, I ran and bought them. While I think they were beautiful (it’s the striped chair in the photo that looks yellow but isn’t lol), turns out they were too big for the space that I wanted them for. I did not realize that my previous armchairs were as small as they are (though I should have since they’re uncomfortable and why I wanted to replace them) nor did I realize how big these chairs are – which is probably why my six foot tall husband thinks they’re perfect LOL.
 
So, now that I know they don’t fit in the existing spot, my friend volunteered to help me move furniture around and even with my broken toe we did just fine. Though we did wind up like that old joke, back where we started from a few times lol.
 
In the end the arrangement wasn’t really very different and yet it was indeed very different. We went from a predictable square footprint to a diagonal positioning. Though we had to downgrade from two arm chairs on the end to only the one new one, relegating the second new chair to a bedroom. Once we decided that the arrangement even though a bit different really showcased the rug and my grandmother’s barley twist table, then I found myself hobbling around the house adding little bits. Pulled some throw pillows from one bedroom, a foot stool from another (which means I have one less junk collector in that room lol), moved knick knacks around, shifted end tables back and forth or from room to room, and of course now I have a new list of things to keep an eye out for when garage saling to complete the room!
 
I really do love changing things up a bit, especially when it doesn’t cost much money! I’m thinking maybe it’s time to rearrange my bedroom and see how that goes!
 
What do you think?
