Rearranging

Awhile back I wrote about wanting to do some rearranging of our living room. Now that we don't have TV, I didn't see the point of having the TV as the focal point in the room!

Since then we have moved the armour into our room and I've switched around the couches a few times.

Here's the before: And this is what it looks like today: This is actually the third arrangement. It is so much better for hanging out when we have all our buddies over.

There are two problems with it though.
First, I didn't realize how much tan is in my house until we moved the armour and put the couch right up against the wall.
I am working on a way to fix it. I can't paint the wall because that would involve repainting the entire downstairs and I am just way too lazy to do that. I have a plan on what I want to do on the wall behind the couch but it involves finding an old cabinet door and that is turning out to be harder then I thought it would be!

The other problem is that our fireplace is way off center in the room.
Which is a big deal for this OCD girl.
After I noticed that I started noticing other off center things in the house.

I may have to move.

I also changed out the runner on our picture table:That helped add some color.

I don't have a decorating budget so I've been shopping my house and just changing stuff out from different rooms.
So far so good.
When I do get a decorating budget, Home Depot is going to be very excited!

Amy and I are going to have a yard sale next weekend. My goal is to get enough money to buy a gallon or two of paint for a quick pick me up.
That's if I can get Josie to quit crying over the unplayed with toys that are in the pile.
