Double Blog post day again! And this one is truly a bonus feature… into my home!
So today I had a “revelation” of sorts come over me. I needed to clean up my life. Not only my life, but my home. Every time I walked into the condo it just felt overwhelming and dirty. Not that it really was… I think it was more of my mindset.
But because of the happenings of this week, I needed to not only clean my house – but I think also give myself a new perspective on life. Well. A new perspective happened… except I didn’t realize it was happening until about 8:30p. Oh yeah… I didn’t mention – I’m sitting at home, cleaning on a Friday night. I know I should have been out getting over the stupid boy that broke the date(s)… but cleaning was on the slate for the evening I guess.
I’m sure I mentioned it before… but I *loathe* vacuuming. It is one of the worst things in the world to me. I really don’t know why… but I just do not enjoy it. That being said, it’s probably a good thing that it really only takes about 20 solid minutes to vacuum everything in the condo REALLY well. Less if I just want to do a half-ass job. Which is most of the time to be honest.
Anyway… so I am REALLY cleaning tonight. Vacuuming everything – including moving the furniture to get into places that I (nor my former roomie) had vacuumed in sometime. Well, while I was doing all of this, I (on the spot) decided that I would move everything in my living room around. Yup. I didn’t go to the gym for a workout – I did my workout at home.
Here are the before & after’s of my living room… (before’s on left/after’s on right)
…what do you think? Keep the new or go back to the old???
(I know it’s really hard to get a good perspective from these little pictures. Sorry!!)
I like the new layout! It feels a little cozier to me somehow. Tom & I are big fans of rearranging things but won't be able to do as much to the living room since our tv is pretty much set in stone where it is. I AM planning on moving around the computer area part of the living room a bit, though, so the little guy can have easier access when desired!
Looks great! I think it’s funny that you have been talking about moving the tv across the room forever and have finally done it, with before and after pics;)
I like the new configuration. It’s always good to switch things around and shake things up now and then. Unclog stagnant energy. Get a new perspective. Change is inevitable anyway. Best to make friends with it, welcome it, embrace it, and even initiate it~go you!
