Confessions of a Compulsive Furniture Rearranger

   

Hello, my name is Janet and I have an addiction.  I am constantly rearranging my furniture.  I will let nothing stand in my way.  I have even been known to develop almost super human strength to get my "fix".  My family will attest to this.  They arrive home and large pieces of furniture have gone up and down stairs and room to room. (I also tend to develop this strength when fabulous finds need to be loaded into a car).  I feel comfortable sharing this with you, because I know I am not alone.

My favorite rooms to rearrange are my bedroom and the dining room.  One small project is all it takes to start a room rearrangement.  Today it was the dining room. (No super human strength was needed for these moves) I have an idea for a project that I will share later.  But where was I going to put this completed project?  Let the moving begin.

This bench I made was kind of hidden in its current location.  You can see how I made it here.

And I never really liked this chair.

So I moved the bench in front of the window.  And since the bench was at the end of the table, I just took away the chair.

I had this chair in another corner by the mantel.

I moved it over to make a little sitting area.

I added a candle and some potpourri to the birdcage.  This is a flameless LED candle.  What do you think?    Is a fake candle a decorating faux pas like fake plants are suppose to be?  Or  do you love the convenience and long lasting-ness?

A few flowers from the yard and I'm done. (Sort of).  So now I have an empty area where the bench was - mission accomplished.

Thanks for listening.  I don't think I'll be recovering from this addiction anytime soon.
