Change is Good!



Want something in your life to be different? Well, you can't change everything overnight, but you can change a room, just a little bit, and make it feel different.
Maybe you can't afford new furniture and your old stuff looks awful. Maybe you're just sick and tired of it. The one thing that you can do for a temporary lift is move it around. Even if your room is small, you can always change at least one thing. If you're in the living area, switch the placement of the end tables, move the coffee table closer to or further from the couch. Move a chair , just a bit, out from the wall if you have it against it. If you have chairs on either side of a fireplace, angle them toward the fireplace, or if they're already angled, change them so that they face one another.
Another way to make a change in any room is to change some of the pictures that you have on the wall. If you can't do this, then rotate your family photos. Many people have framed pictures of family outings, etc. - change these for a different one. Or, put all the family photos away for a while - especially if they are in the living area.
Of course, if you do this, you'll find yourself cleaning some as you go. Even if you move things back again very soon, at least you got them clean!

Those are some very good suggestions. I never thought of the pictures before, but it makes great sense. Good post and blog, keep it up!

Great ideas! I don't move my furniture around too much anymore. I live in a house where there are windows or doorways in every, single wall, so there's a finite number of spaces to put things. Now, I shake things up by switching accessories, collectibles, and artwork from room to room. It's amazing how big a change that makes!
