Changing Things Up

Yesterday was one of those Sunday's where Mark and I both got really long naps. Needless to say, last night we had lots of energy and we weren't sure what we wanted to do. So, kind of on a whim, we decided to rearrange our living room. The way we had it situated was never the perfect set up. I really didn't want to have our couch in front of our windows. So, this seemed like the only way to go.

Since our couch was so big, we had to have everything at an angle....so there was a lot of wasted space and it did make the room feel smaller than it was.

Now, the couch is in front of the window. I have to admit it's not so bad. Our living room feels so much bigger now. The only downside to this set up is this...

The couch is just too far away from the tv to play xbox.

The new lay-out looks great. And I love your walls of black framed pictures. I am wanting to do that in one of our hallways but I need to collect enough frames and weed through all my pictures to pick the "best" ones.

Love it! Don't you just love the difference a little rearranging can do?! I love the photo collages! Maybe you can come and finish decorating my house for me??

I love your picture collages on the wall. We have one of those couches and have the same issue.

Looks great! I love that pic of Mark on a dining chair in front of the tv. Hilarious.

I forgot to add.... what about mounting your TV above the mantel you would probably be able to utilize the TV better?
