I was going to write about something else today, but I am so excited about some changes happening here, I thought I would share.
First up, we have decided to paint the family room. This room had gotten a small paint job on an accent wall when we moved in, but other than that it really hasn’t been touched. The color isn’t that bad, it is just with the amount of natural light we get in this room, the paint sometimes looks a little peachy, salmony, pinky. After two years of living in this house, we think it is time. Right now, we have some samples on the wall.
That brings us to the furniture. The family room needs storage, this is essentially our play room so we are always looking for places to stash toys in this room. We’ve decided to do the old switcheroo, and move some of the living room furniture, which is much more storage friendly and a lot bigger downstairs, and move some of the family room furniture which is kind of dwarfed by the size of the room to the upstairs to the living room.
This all came about when I was picking up toys with the kids for the one millionth time, and realized that while we just got rid of a bunch of toys the kids don’t play with anymore, there are still some things that just don’t have homes. I then walked upstairs and kept wondering how I was going to style the cubbies upstairs, then I had the lightbulb moment. I will style them with toys of course!
Brian and I are extremely happy to find a solution to this problem, without having to buy more furniture. We are happy to use what we have in a different way.
Anyone else move around furniture in their house? Did you find that certain pieces just don’t flow well in certain rooms? How do you feel about peachy tan? (yeah I don’t like it either).
