Lest you think my primary job has been scooting furniture around my house, things have been moving a bit more than usual. I moved furniture around when I did the family room reset. Then I rearranged again to accommodate our Christmas tree and again when we gave our sofa away and the new one didn’t […]

Living Room Rearranged
When I start rearranging furniture, it’s like playing dominoes. I move one thing and then everything else has to move. As I mentioned yesterday, I’m approaching my house in an entirely new way.
