yes we are crazy
we decided to completely rearrange the entire first floor today on a whim…and not just moving around some furniture, but completely changing the way we use our house.
fun!
i LOVE impulsively rearranging things every once in a while, and when WIL started thinking out loud of moving the tv, i totally jumped on the chance of moving everything around. i don’t know if it was spurred on by this reason or not, but either way, we had a great outcome- i have wanted a piano for quite some time, but the way the house was, we literally had no spot for one. oddly enough, our living room lacks any walls longer than 4 to 5 feet (minus the one 7 foot wall that has the air return right in the middle…thanks mr cheapo architect)…and while the dining room and the den had longer walls, they were already in use by some key pieces that couldn’t relocate: the buffet and the bookshelf, which served as our media cabinet.
i had pretty much accepted the fact that we weren’t going to be able to get a piano (and i’m talking a real upright….not some dinky keyboard or something) since we didn’t have the space, nor the flexibility to create space since i figured everything major was where it had to be. but bravo to wil, who recommended moving the tv (woohoo!) as well as some places for these tricky items, our entire house was able to be moved around to create a completely new function in each room.
our dining of course is still the dining, but with all of our great stuff on display! maybe i’ll use my china more than the once or twice in our two years of marriage! our “living room” is now our casual/tv room, and the previous “den” is now the living room…but you could get fancy and call it the music parlor since we could potentially have the piano in there…
i put a handful of pics up on flickr, and here they are, but definitely go to flickr as i have much more commentary and notes on the pics, as well as ‘before’ shots. but if you’re sick of all my over explanation at this point (i am a queen of over explaining), than this blog ought to suffice.
