I've been snowed in here (literally) and have been looking for things to keep me busy so I decided to "shop" my own house and create some new space and add some different accents to the livig room.
I pulled a couple of items from my office.
Visit "My office- previous post " to see where they were before.
I brought back my game table which had been put in storage downstairs for a while. I slid the chest back over to the corner window creating a little nook.
Since there's no lamp on this table I thought I'd try my cloche out which I've also pulled from the office.
I brought back these two green porcelain pieces that I've had for about 7 yrs. They work really well with this lamp (a mark down that I got them to reduce it a bit more
when I pointed out a flaw on the finish. Sometimes it pays to open your
mouth! I always say it doesn't cost a dime to ask a question!
Moving the sofa forward created a more personal space.
I like this comfy cluster. Plenty of room yet cozy!
So there you have my new lay out and new/old deco accents!
Now what else can I get myself involved with??
Oh yes...laundry! Woohoo!

Shopping the house is always fun. You did a great job. I like the changes you made. More cold weather is forecast here over the next couple days.
ReplyDeleteI love shopping my house too, it definitely comes in handy with the wild weather we have up here in the Midwest! You have such a great space, love the light you get from all those wonderful windows.
ReplyDeleteLove this room and the changes. It's always so fun to shop the house and change a few things up. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteI like the new look!! It's nice that you can reuse things you've had in storage, I'm really bad about not hanging onto things. Sure hoping February is kinder to you than January has been. Think Spring!
ReplyDeleteLooks wonderful, Liz! I love shopping the house.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could work up the nerve to request a discount, but it's so hard for me!! I don't know why...I don't have much trouble speaking up about everything else!!! :-) :-) :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry you are still snowed in! I'm "winded in" here with winds gusting up to 60 mph and wind chills around -15 yet again today. But you have given me a fantastic idea: go shopping at home!!! I haven't done that for a long time now, and it will be fun! Even though I have everything catalogued, there's still nothing like looking through storage and actually seeing & touching things that haven't been used in a long time.
I like the cozier seating space you have created! You really do have an eye!!!
I'll be busy with laundry today, too, but at least I can break it up with all the home shopping! :-)
My favorite thing to do is shop the house! I love moving things around to get a new look! Love your cozy space.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful changes - and always a bargain to shop the house. Great idea to bring back the game table, so cozy. Jane
ReplyDeleteSorry you're snowed in, it's been so cold, but nothing like you're dealing with up there! Shopping the house and moving things around is a great way to pass the time. Love the game table where it is, and the new cozy arrangement.
ReplyDeleteIt looks warm and cozy. You have a lovely home. Keep warm.
ReplyDeleteWell, at least you had a lot more fun than the laundry!! I love redecorating and it is so fun to just move things around! I just "found" a huge cloche that I had bought for my daughter's new place but it was to big for her so when changing over from Christmas it got put front and center. The best part was she didn't remember that we had bought it for her!!
ReplyDeleteThe room looks so pretty. I love that monkey under the cloche. You're right, the seating arrangement looks so cozy and comfortable. The game table looks like it would also be a great place to sit for dinner or lunch. laurie
ReplyDeleteHi Liz, your room looks warm and cozy. Love those chairs by the fireplace and the way you drew your sitting area in. Very nice!
ReplyDeleteThat looks great, Liz. I really like a nice conversational area and you have created that here. That gaming table is a gorgeous piece and what a perfect spot for it. Great for games...well, except for Twister-that wouldn't work there!;>) xo Diana
ReplyDeletePretty!
ReplyDeleteI don't need any more things, so when I get the urge to redecorate I shop the house. It's amazing how moving things around makes such a difference. Good job doing just that.
ReplyDeleteLOOKING GREAT. I love shopping with what people already have!
ReplyDeleteShopping your own house is a great, thrifty idea! Change is always so refreshing.
ReplyDeleteYour new arrangement looks great and I really like the game table.
ReplyDeleteLooks really inviting and comfortable Liz! I love your leather wingback chairs!!!~~Ang
ReplyDeleteIt really does look very cozy and inviting, Liz! Rearranging and reusing what I have in different ways is so much fun and gives rooms a lot more character than just going out and buying matching stuff!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it so much fun shopping around the house....I think that's the best part of decorating:) you have created a beautiful, warm and inviting space and I am loving the pretty vignettes in every corner! Thanks for sharing with us! Stay warm and safe! Hugs, Poppy
ReplyDeleteJust a beautiful cozy and warm room. I love your cloche vignette. Thanks for visiting, Stay warm
ReplyDeleteSandy
You must be bored! Moving furniture gives a room a whole new look. Shopping your own house, we forget about things and find treasures. Nice space Liz.
ReplyDeleteYour home is so pretty! I can't wait for the dust to settle, I will be revisiting the packed up and clearing out!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing at AMAZE ME MONDAY...
Blessings,
Cindy
