Maybe I have a bad case of spring fever, but I've been rearranging furniture and lamps (and whatever else I can get my hands on like it's nobody's business). Once I start, it's hard to stop, and one mess leads to another. . . .
This was the state of my "improvement" as of yesterday mid-morning:
I'm making progress--if you want to call it that. My living room got a new paint job, we switched the sofas, the lamps moved in from the den, and I'm still trying to figure out if I want to keep that armoire. (A piano is most likely in our future. . . ) I also have pictures and window treatments left to hang.
In the spirit of spring cleaning, I'm also ready to move out the pieces I'm no longer using. I listed some things on Craigslist last night, including our red chair and ottoman and this round ZGallerie coffee table (sorry for the old, fuzzy picture). Fingers crossed for a speedy sale by the weekend!
Be sure to do some shopping because during the month of March, Lily Gene Prints is offering a 10% DISCOUNT to readers of my blog. Just use coupon code SENTBYEAC10OFF at checkout.
Love the new look. I listed a leather chair on CL yesterday and within two hours, it was gone! Good luck with you stuff.
ReplyDeleteLook at your new room! Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI spot the carpet, which is also in my living room! I love to see how YOU set the room up with it! Lovely!
I posted on MY carpet somewhere around November last year!
Come and visit!

I LOVE LOVE LOOOOOOOOOVE your house. I am a new follower and I am so excited to read more of your blog!
ReplyDeleteI am starting some house projects too, and just told my husband last night of my plan to have our living room re-painted...
ReplyDeleteOh, I love it! I just wish I could come over and help you move stuff around, I LOVE to do that!
ReplyDeleteI can't stop making changes around our house lately either!! I posted about it today- I make one tiny change and then all of a sudden I'm practically planning a whole new living room!! It's so much fun though! I can't wait to see yours finished!
ReplyDeleteI wish I was there...love doing that sorta thing SO much!!! And it is hard to do by yourself...hope you had help.
ReplyDeleteLove the new look. You should not have any trouble selling your things on Craig's list. Good luck!
ReplyDeletelove your living room couch! and hooray for new sponsors the prints are fun :) xoxo jcd :: cornflake dreams
ReplyDeleteI love it, yes we've all been there. In fact there are random spring decorating objects lying around my foyer and living room right now too :-)
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I like your white shelves with the blue inside and that carpet, where is it from? I'm on the hunt for a living room rug.
It looks good so far. We're re -doing our living as well. We are just finish up. I put stuff for sell on CL last weekend. Much of it was sold. I am just waiting on somebody to buy our old couch! I hope it sells this weekend too!

Love that living room couch!! Looks great!
ReplyDeleteHa! When I undertake something big (usually revolving around cleaning), it always gets MUCH worse right before it gets awesome. :-)
ReplyDeleteI wish you could just sell me that blue rug! I have a hunch you're keeping it though. Hmmmph.
I love that rearranging/redesign thing, but you're right it's a domino effect where all a sudden you need to redo every room! But it's so worth it. Your new room looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteDid you previously post a source for the navy chevron pillow - I have been searching for weeks for fabric like that to cover some pillows!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Oh that's right! You are having company this weekend. Nothing like having people over to make you get things done around the house you have wanted to do forever! (giggle) I am sooo guilty of that! One of my sons didn't want to have a graduation party because he didn't want to help redo the backyard like we did for the others!! hehe!
ReplyDeleteLove redecorranging!! Keeps things interesting and fresh. And the bank account happy. :)
ReplyDeleteLove those prints! I piano would look lovely in there! We have a baby grand in our living room and love it (:
ReplyDeleteSo true that rearranging has a cascading effect on the rest of the house as you steal from other rooms...;)
ReplyDeleteI have major spring cleaning/rearranging fever too! Luckily, the fiance gave in to a a pretty major makeover plan. I can't wait to see the finished product- and good luck with your Craigslist sale!
ReplyDeleteI love your new but use what you have room. I especially love the abstract painting. What a great find on CL! Good luck on selling your items!
ReplyDeleteYou have the most beautiful lamps in your home. Your front door caught my eye because I'm itching to paint ours black or maybe a grey. Your entry is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteLove that huge art over the couch! Rearranging my house and accessories is seriously one of my most favorite ways to spend a saturday morning.
ReplyDeleteLove the new look. Spring always gets me in the mood to spruce things up. The big piece over your sofa is fantastic.
ReplyDeleteTotally changes the look.
ReplyDeleteI just love everything you did. The make over is totally great. But for me its far better to have a sun rooms northern ireland
ReplyDeletein ones home.
