When I was a kid, I used to rearrange my room for fun, then go get my mom and dad to come look and see my work. I can’t tell you how many times I rearranged my room. Sometimes, it’s just time for a refresh. I feel like at our house and our cabin, there is only one good way for the furniture to be configured. I had to arrange it a few times to get to the best configuration, but I got it. I also HATE painting. Painting is not part of my idea of a room refresh!
Our house is a lot of different colors of grey. I pick a different accent color in accessories to give a new look. First was lime green, then orange, and now it is mustard. To change up the bathroom, I keep a lot of the same accessories and just buy a new shower curtain (or put up a seasonal shower curtain) to look totally different without spending a lot of money.
At the cabin, we just finished up a bigger room makeover. We decided to tackle our next project of new carpet. I said if we are getting new carpet, then it’s time to get new living room furniture. We’ve used our hand-me-downs from my parents for almost two years. We went to a furniture store a few miles away and picked out furniture they had in stock. I didn’t want to order anything that would take so long to get I would forget what it actually looked like!
They boys headed to the cabin two nights before carpet laying day along with Mike’s dad for a boys trip. They got one last hurrah of snowmobiling and ice fishing for the year. Carpet day, they moved out the old furniture. They went to pick up the new furniture, while the carpet installers were there, and put it in place after the carpet was laid. We are set for summer!
Stay tuned for next month’s topic: Fixing the ice-maker.
There’s so much to do, so little time. Bye for now!
