Not really!
But this week they should have!
I'm not really a furniture mover
Once something is in place (on the floor)
It usually doesn't get moved
Except, perhaps, at Christmas, when we have to make room for the tree.
But last week . . .
I decided to make a change
In the corner of the living room was the secretary
Put there because I could sit and write notes and checks and look out at the garden
But I moved the wing chair back further into the corner
Which meant that getting to and from was a bit of a wiggle.
So I moved the Asian chest there
We rarely get into it
And I never really liked it where I had it
Something just didn't work
With the clivia on top as well as a big ginger jar
And the same painting over
I think it's an improvement
Both in looks and functionality.
The Asian cabinet was next to the door
With the picture over it
I think it was more what was on top
or what always ended on top
(everything almost that was carried into the house)
The secretary by the door.
I can easily get into it
without shimmying by and around a chair.
Before:
The fireplace wall of the room with the secretary in the right corner
After:
The fireplace wall with the Asian cabinet in the right corner
And just because I thought it a neat picture
The living room on the left
The dining room on the right
And although I'm not a furniture mover, I am a tabletop mover
I'm always tweaking those it seems!
It's Monday and I'm joining Susan at Between Naps on the Porch for Met Monday

We don't move furniture much either. But when something needs to have a different purpose, it is a must. Looks like you make some improvements.
It looks great. I love all your big comfy chairs. Deb
I never move my furniture around; our youngest daughter finds this boring and is constantly moving hers. It must be my personality type. LOL
I think the small changes you've done make sense when more room becomes available.

I like your changes & love seeing pictures of your beautiful interiors :)
The only time I really move furniture is when we move. I like what you've done - it makes sense!
You have such beautiful furniture, love the new arrangement. Hugs, Marty
Martha,
I love the switch, dear friend!!!
Seems to have lightened the room!!!
Linderhof is gorgeous!!! What a unique photo of the living and dining room!
Fondly,

It looks great! Sometimes moving things is a very inexpensive make-over. Because I have a hernia I'm actually putting some furniture in wheels so it won't be too painful to move! Thanks for visiting the Little White House.
Sure looks more functional now. I like it. The room looks very cozy too....Christine
I love love love to rearrange furniture! Sometimes just moving a couple things makes a huge difference as you found out! Makes everything feel fresh and new!
