Sweatin' with the Oldies

By Kerrysteele @kerrysteeleart

By "oldies" I mean me and by "sweatin'" I mean me and my crazy idea to rearrange my formal living room several times by myself. I mentioned in my post on Saturday that the arrangement was just not very inviting. I took the easy route first.

This "easy" route was just me moving the two chairs, x-bench and Korean chest. Since that was too easy and my living room was not completely clogged with furniture, I pulled the black velevt chair out of my bedroom and tried to kill myself carrying it down the stairs. 

As you can see the two cream chairs blocked the archway to the dining room but full denial kicked in and I declared my husband "stupid" when he said, "I hate it" and walked away.

Hours passed and I came to realize I had to move the sofa to the window wall along with moving everything else in the room. That pretty glass and bamboo coffee table got a "Mommy, you just said a bad word!!" out of my audience but the real treat was the bombe chest. Marble is freakin' heavy. I just spent Friday afternoon telling my friend how useful furniture sliders are and how we have used our so much but apparently walking down stairs to get mine would have put me over the edge and I did it the hard way. I am stupid like that.



I spent time in each seat and I think the final result was worth it.

Which layout do you like best?
