I’ve been rearranging.
In the midst of the redecorating of my bedroom, I’ve been rearranging the living room. I haven’t gotten it quite right, and I’m still deciding if we should have curtains on the window behind the sofa. Right now the window treatment is simply a diffusing shade that cranks up and down.
A few things I don’t like…
1. the lampshade on the side table.
2. the orange and taupe pillows on the sofa.
3. the way the floor lamp interferes visually with the wall hanging.
4. the empty corner that I filled with pictures frames, a magazine basket, and floor pillows.
5. the fact that the fireplace is still unfinished.
6. the cable box and speakers. (the cable box I can live with, the speakers are totally a man thing.)
The far corner is awfully awkward, because we can’t move the little cabinet that houses our electrical equipment, or else the wires won’t reach the television, which is mounted about the fireplace. So it leaves this awkward space that is too small for a chair, but too big to be empty. It’s the reason we’ve always had the sofa at an angle.
So this is what the living room looks like currently. (And this is what it used to look like.)
