Of course this isn’t my first post about moving things around, and it won’t be my last. I do think it is a good thing though. I like to keep things fresh, and there are always ways to improve the functionality of our space based on the changing needs of our family. I have been wanting a new sofa forever, but it’s not happening any time soon, so I brought back our old Karlstad sofa from IKEA. (It had been in the garage studio.) I do still like this sofa after many years…
I got some some new cushion covers on sale from West Elm when we were in Portland, and my favorite ridiculously good deal was our new rug from Anthro. It was originally sold for $900 but was on big time sale (down to $200), plus I had a gift card and a shirt that I decided to return and I ended up only paying about $50 out of pocket. (The only thing that could have made me happier was if it was during the 50% off of all sale items time of year, but I guess that would have been too good to be true.) I am so happy because I have been wanting a softer rug for our playing area.
This room is where we keep a lot of Saya’s toys plus my sewing/craft supplies, so it is pretty full of “stuff.” When I decided to rearrange it I moved every last thing out of the room including furniture. I put things back one by one until it felt right, then I stopped. There is less furniture now, but I am enjoying the room so much more. It is the brightest room in the house and where I spend the most time.
