Family Room Rearrangement

Good Morning Sweet Friends,

How are you this fine rainy, dreary,

windy morning,  course, that is what my

weather is like today, maybe yours

is sunshiny!  Hope it is sunshiny.......

 at least in your heart!!

Last week I was watching the Nate Show and

found out.... I already do one of his suggestions 

for a quick and easy decorating tip, that cost

you 0 dollars................................

One thing I love to do with every season, and that

Nate suggests......... is moving the furniture around

 for a new look.  I have been doing that for years now.

The main room I move around now is my family

room,  (note the  header picture) cause it is the only

 room I can do by myself.

Before my pinched nerve, I could do others rooms, 

 but don't dare do that anymore, and must enlist help.

I have to say,  I used to wonder when I was younger

 why older people never moved their furniture around. 

  well,  I know the answer to that now...................lol

Just in case you don't already know you can click

on any pic to make it larger!!

In the Spring I have the room arranged with

the sofa looking towards the fireplace and

the big chair over by the fireplace and 2

captains chairs flanking both sides of the sofa.

I use pinks as my accent color and a lot of

whites too,  as this, and my header picture

show.

The above picture starts the new look!!

Then when summer arrives,  I rotate the sofa to

the right where it faces the french doors to the

porch, so you can see outside cause the yard

usually looks nice and green and lush.

Most years, I add some shells and/or at least

 move around the table tops,  I had planned to do

 that this year,  but right after I moved the room around

we had the issues with the wedding situation,

so just never got back to it,  and by the time

I did I thought Fall is right around the corner

anyway...................

I also remove our fireplace tools for spring and 

summer and add greenery to the fireplace!

This picture was taken from the french door area looking
toward the front of the house,  kitchen on the left,  and
living room on the right.  (which rarely gets used I might add).
but do love that room!! The door in the middle is to the
foyer and where everyone enter thru the front door.

This was taken from the front of the house
looking towards the back,  I am standing
right by the big chair you can see in the
 previous picture.  It is now facing the
 fireplace with a lil table beside it.

You can just see the edge of the lil table here
and of course, the big chair,  we love this chair,
and the thing hubby loves the most is it and the
sofa all recline.  We have truly enjoyed that!!.
 Then  2 captain chairs from my dining
room set.  Makes a cozy lil area for chatting!


I sometimes think this is my fav arrangement
till I move it the next time...............lol


That is why moving your furniture is so much
fun,  cause you almost always like the new
way, cause it is such a nice change of pace!!


Just yesterday Nate featured two homes with
fireplaces that they painted white........I loved
that look and would love to paint our's white,
be still my heart,  but not sure hubby is gonna
go for it,  when I called him out to see it......
he sort of grimaced and didn't stick around
too long................if you know what I mean!!  lol


I know that look..........."Oh No,  she wants to
cover up this pretty brick!!!  lol
Why would she want to do that!!  It so natural
and pretty................true,  but it is also old
and tired and needs and update!!


Course, doubt you could ever undo it if you
wanted to.........I would do it in a second,
but then we have all dark woodwork and
dark slotted pine on the wall behind, so
think you might have to paint it all..........
not really sure I am up for that either!!


So maybe having a reluctant hubby is
a very good thing...............or I might be
redoing every pc. of woodwork in the
house..................Hmmmm!!


But hey,  if I had Nate's team of painters
and helpers if I got stuck................
I  just might really go for it!!   lol
and hubby might too!!  lol


For now I am content with my little room
rearrangement,  it is safe,  sure and 
sweet for this simple woman!!


Have a Super Sweet and Simple Day!


Love,  Hugs and
Rainy day blessings,
Nellie
