apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

I remember coming home from school to find all of my room's furniture rearranged and it was the best feeling, all was new again yet I never do it but lately I have been inspired and I feel and new room in the air.

i recently swapped out two silver picture frames for some red ones in the bedroom, and it made a world of difference.

I just moved the big,old Persian rug from the dining room/office to the front room and it has made both rooms look and live better.

I have a lot of switches planned, but have to get help moving the furniture.

i love doing this. living in a studio apartment makes you somewhat expert in moving furniture around/creating new vignettes with the few stuff you already have! i did this just last night: swapped some plants and my armchair around to make the space flow better. Ahhhh....

I've been accused of having something mentally wrong with me because I move my furniture around/reaarange so much. I even take legs off some tables (coffee and side) and switch them around. I made super cool coffee table out of some cool 50's hairpin legs and an IKEA desk/table top.
:)

switching around my lamps (and even swapping the lampshades around) and the artwork I find are some of the easiest for me.

I wanted to move my sofa out of my bay window, where it seemed to fit perfectly, because it blocked the heat source in the room, and I read about how energy inefficient that was. The only way the room would work after that was to place my two sofas across from one another. I don't like too much symmetry, but the sofas are each quite different, and it looks great.

I moved two chrome legged Eames style knock-offs to the head of the room, at the bay window, and slid a little mid-century end table between them, and it looks great! So much more friendly for conversation. I moved my TV to the opposite end of the room too, which makes it less of a feature. It was such a smart move! We're using the living room so differently now.
