A bit of a change

 2.7.13- 

  Truth is I've never really loved the layout of our family room downstairs.  For one thing the TV is on one wall & the fireplace is on the opposite wall so they are always competing for attention.  I WiSH we would have thought about it a little more when we built our home.  Anyway... I think some changes might be on the horizon sometime hopefully soon.  But for now I put on a little band aid on a sore spot that drives me NuTS!  

As I was sitting watching Top Chef Seattle

{one of my must see shows each week!}  with my daughter. 

{Yep, another girl home sick from school today- 

when will this Flu leave our house!!} 

I thought to myself, if I have to look at those ugly TV, DVR, Wii cords sticking out all over the floor, I'm going to scream. Not to mention if I had to chase Mr. Olly out from behind the white bench one more time. 

{It's his hiding spot & he usually unhooks the TV cords while he's back there too}  

So I jumped right up & did a little bit of rearranging.  

-The Before- 

-Yep, took a picture just as I was looking at it on the couch.  Toys, a half empty glass, blanket thrown on the floor & all. Keeping it real ;) - 

-The After- 

-Ahh... for now it works! NO more cords sticking out, no more hiding spot for Mr. Olly everything up & off of the floor.  I'm still in LoVE with the green medal cabinet I got last year, it's so cool & unique!- 

Oh, this feels a little like a breath of fresh air.  Which we desperately need in this house!  ;)  So ready for Spring to get here so I can open up the windows & let the sunshine in without freezing! Also looking forward to thinking about making more changes to this room... soon. 

{I mean BiG changes!} 

Stay tuned.
