Furniture Switch Up
Monday, March 15, 2010
My mom and dad came this weekend to work on the sprinkler system in the backyard, and while my dad and hubs were in the backyard, my mom and I were inside decorating.
First we tackled the china cabinet...
I put the gold platter that used to be on my coffee table as a display and I love the way the light catches it...much better than on the coffee table!
I filled my lion pitcher with pretty hydrangea and ivy.
And got this cute lantern from PB with a similar colored candle to the hydrangea.
We switched the living area from this:
To where we can now WALK down the hallway without having to slide by the humongous chair...
To this! Lola really wanted to show you herself...
I really think our furniture fits so much better this way...much cozier too. What do you think?
You can't quite tell but we are using the ottoman as a side table between the couch and the plaid chair. I am on the lookout for a tray to set on top of it for drinks.

I LOVE the ottoman as an end table!! Very creative! It is so amazing how you can move on piece od decor, and it totally changes the look and feel of the whole room! I love that we have control over that. It is also very refreshing to rearrange and get a new look without spending any $!! Love all your changes, I think the living room looks fabulous! A lot cozier!!
I think the furniture looks great this way! I have a hard time thinking of new ways to put things. So good job! So glad I have a friend who likes to throw things away as well. I laughed out loud when I read your comment yesterday!
I like it! Looks good to me! Want to come rearrange mine?
I love it so much!! You did a great job! Now come help me with my bedroom! LOL
Looks great!!
What a cute blog! My husband and I got married in the summer of 2008 too. Funny how many things you learn during the first years of marriage.
PS Love the ottoman as a side table, functional and yet more places to sit!
I love rearranging furniture. I really love the new layout of the room. It really looks great!
I love the new look of your living room. I little rearranging is like a breath of fresh air sometimes!!!
Great job on your new layout. I want to change the positioning of our living room furniture but the room is long and skinny and there aren't too many options that the way it is now. :(
I really like the ottoman as a side table. I like it when people use unexpected things as side tables. It will be perfect with a little tray on top!
I love the new set up!! Oh how I Wish we had a pottery barn near by, on second thought Adam would dispise it :)
