Bored = Winter Cleaning

After we took down the Christmas tree, I decided I wanted to rearrange the furniture. The floor plan in this house is not the most well thought out but I do my best to make it work for us. Open arches separate the formal living and family room so the rooms appear more open. We have very large furniture throughout our home so it proves to be a challenge when creating the seating areas, etc.

This go around I thought it would be interesting to switch up the rooms by intermixing the pieces. It is somewhat boring to have all the same furniture pieces in a room. All the colors mix well, and the different textures complement each other. I like pillows so I have a tendency to throw them all around.

I mentioned I was bored?! Yes, I created color sketches of the images! LoL!

Lana got involved in the pictures as well by watching TV. I think those sketch drawings are the absolute coolest. I think I will create a blog post in the future with just the sketches...

Anyway, for the room pictured above, I decided to add a green shag rug that has chocolate brown, taupe, and tan colors and I felt it will really tie those furniture pieces together. However, I switched the pieces back and ended up just rearranging the furniture. I thought it looked good, but It was not the look I wanted.

I like the look of this room like this, but since the other one did not meet my needs I had to change this one again…

Overall, I like this look of this room. Yet, I am going to move the end table to the other side of the chaise and put some sort of tall indoor plant in the corner. Take note, I am not fond of the red wall, but this is not my permanent home and we will be moving in the near future so I am just dealing with it for now. It is a good thing, it matches our décor though, or I would not have any other choice but to change it.

This room turned out great with the new rug and curtains! I really wish I had a even wider-angle lens so you could see the full arches and all. Beautiful.
