The other day I was sweeping the floor and got it into my brain that our front room needed to be moved around. Now it just feels awkward, but I’m not ready to push and shove things back into their original places. Change is good, right?
Right about where Sydney is in the above photo is almost exactly where the awkwardness begins. That space needs a little something-something. Maybe the whole rug needs a little loving, come to think of it.
I moved the shelf that my dad made us next to the fireplace and one of our comfy chairs to attempt to create a reading nook. It is difficult to get any reading done because….
Sydney thinks it is her designated look-out spot. No worries, there are plenty other awkward other places to sit in this room.
Coming down the hallway from the bedroom this is what you see. The fireplace is blocked with the other huge chair mostly because the fireplace is not centered. Oh, the awkwardness!!! I’m all for sitting by a fire to get cozy, but this moves into the realm of being a fire hog.
Looking at the room from our ‘dining room’ it doesn’t feel so awkward, but it certainly doesn’t come together and feel cozy. What to do?
Before I move everything back to how it was, Sydney wants to spend some quality time in the awkward area. She embraces the awkward. Maybe I need to work on that.
Does the couch fit in front of the front window? If so, you could move the two chairs across from the couch with the light in between and Flip’s structure in the spot you had it before???
Great thought, but the chairs have to sit in front of the fireplace. Even more awk-ball.
