Periodically we get the urge to rearrange ...This week we got the urge and nothing will do until we change everything. You get a new house without having to move.
We moved the library/school room to the room with Clark's computer. Susan Liana spent hours getting our books back into place! While unloading books from shelves we thought often of our dear friends, the Rustines, as we handled so many of their lovely books that they shared as they left for the mission field. Those books are like having a little part of our friends with us!
The TV left the room above and moved to the old school room that also doubled as a guest room...we kept that room as a guest room with a sleeper sofa where we also watch TV.
What was our dining room a week ago is now our living room. Of course, it was originally designed as the living room!
The dining room relocated to the old living room, which was originally the dining room. Are you confused yet?
We brought Clay's portrait from the stair wall to this one and it seems like a brand new painting to us!
Don't you love the new coffee table that we found at Blessingdales while thrift shopping with Celesta?
The shelves below were in the sitting room, but make me think of a Welsh cupboard so we moved them to the kitchen. They replace a makeshift cabinet we've used for years that used to hold the children's legos. This is much prettier and saves so much space yet stores the same things.
We had a whole week of fun sifting all of this until it all finally fell in place...
I loved sitting in (and messing up :))every one of those rooms. I love being in your happy home!
ReplyDeleteI am all confused. I guess I will have to invite myself over!
