Living Room Arrangement And A Wrap up

Good Morning to Everyone : )  

 

We have been hosting a lot lately and just recently there was a singer/songwriter's group at our house.  I love hearing the lovely sound of voices and instruments through my home.  

Having people over is more of an incentive to create an environment that people love to come to and enjoy.

Which leads me to our living room..

I spoke about it here.  In that post you will see the layout of the furniture before.

I decided to change it because just like the dining room that arrangement wasn't working for us.

The flow into the living room is so much more open compared to how it was before.  

I didn't want to block the view by putting the sofa in front of the window and making the windows seem smaller than they were.  That lamp on the table actually goes into my family room..hahaha.  

Now that flow has been established I will soon be able to add the other layers into the room : )

By the way, I do want to wrap up our basement situation.  If you haven't read about it check it out..

1.  Rising Water

2.  Demolition Part 1

3.  Demo Part 2 : Clean and Clear

4.  The Why and How

That situation had plagued us for quite some time and I am happy to say it plagues us no more.

This makes me so happy!  That rotten smell and pools of water will no longer be an issue.

Here Corey is filling it back up.  Now we have not cemented it back yet to make sure the pipes were in full working order.  I am happy to say no problems have arose.  Whew : )

  Hoping your week is full of creativity.

Can It Be? : Dining Room (The Placement)

It is Monday and I know that everyone on the east coast is so thankful that this weekend has passed.  I am grateful because my sister, her husband, and our parents were in the path of the storm and they made it out unscathed.  The people in their surrounding neighborhoods not so much.  So, thanking God for their safety but still praying for everyone else who has been touched tragically by this.

I wanted to continue with our dining room.  If you remember we put down hickory flooring and extended it from the family room into our dining space.

You can read more about it here and see the before dining room placement that I was trying out.  

Needless to say the way I had my dining room furniture placed..we all didn't care for it so much.

So, I put it this way..

We are liking it this way so much better.  

Here is the view from a different direction.  

There is still more to do.. curtains and accessories.  Wish me luck ; )
