Rearranging My Industrial Elegant Cottage Living Room...

Immediately after posting photos to show you my progress

and still how much I have left to do in my living room -

I changed furniture arrangement. Of course. But I like it better now.

The photo above is the wall opposite the fireplace, and directly

in front of the rustic chest I spilled stain on and liked it.

When I showed it to you before, the Martha Washington chair

was next to the sofa I need to upholster. It looked like this:

I had placed Martha at a right angle to the sofa,

as I have had her in arrangements before.

And a tufted iron bench was on the wall behind her,

next to an antique chest I had stripped.

That wall looked so bare and unfinished, I didn't show you up close.

But immediatly after posting, I saw a better way.

Isn't that just how it goes? All of a sudden, it was apparent

that I had Martha in the wrong spot.

So Martha just swapped places with the bench.

She's so thoughtful that way. I love her versatility.

And I think the little bench placed here opens up the whole room.

And Martha adds a little height and coziness to the wall with the chest.

This wall still needs to be accessorized.

And it will probably change again

before it's all said and done.  And believe me

when I tell you there is still much to do...

But I'm not worried. It will get done when it gets done.

I just want to enjoy the process, and life in general.

Word for the Day:

Luke 12:25

Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life ?
