move the furniture!
My grandma was doing that in her 90s...I'm carrying on the tradition!
Moved the tv and the table to the wider end of the living room, the Canterbury to where the table was and the smaller sofa is between the two, instead of blocking the heat from the longer radiator.
The result is a square sitting eating and viewing space . Far more sociable and less of just a passage from front to back!
Slightly less cluttered than it was-let's just call it busy!!
We've had friends to visit and a friend is staying with us now...ans its a relief that it works.
We do that too!
ReplyDeleteFor years, as a child, my father's job had us moving on average every 3 years, so when he changed job and my folks settled - my mom continued to 'move' by rearranging the furniture regularly. I as an adult continue to do the same. Seems to 'refresh' the room :)
Looks great! I love seeing all your prints hanging in a row.
ReplyDeleteLooks cozy! I like your blue rug -- is that a sun-and-moon design?
ReplyDeleteIt is, Steve
ReplyDeleteI have often moved our furniture around. A whole new look. Glad the new layout works well.
ReplyDeleteI certainly like it. Grandma was a canny lady.
ReplyDeleteIs there a table next to the tv?
ReplyDeleteAmy yes,in front of it...so no sitting at the table for a meal with the tv on! The table is on castors,so we can have it out to sit four
ReplyDeleteWe occasionally re-think where we have stuff. But I prefer to keep things in the same place summer to winter. My mother rearranged the furniture twice a year, largely because of heaters and summer fan flow. Even knowing why, it bugged me, because it included my bedroom, and it went from functional summer to awkward winter.
ReplyDeleteYour arranging seems to be of the functional variety, looks very inviting.
It looks like the comfortable home of artists.
