Here is the quick version (since the first version I wrote might as well have been a chapter in a novel). The tv stand from the family room became the tv stand in the living room. The living room tv stand, otherwise known as Brian's desk he made from the fence the hurricane blew down, went up to the green guest room (otherwise known as our expanded laundry room). The tv in the family room got moved around, along with the other furniture, and now resides on the cabinet I have spent weeks refinishing. I got the cabinet from my Grandmother as she was preparing to move, but it wasn't our style but I figured high gloss black paint would make anything look better (I was right). I then organized all of the overflow of wine glasses, platters, and all the little odds and ends in to the new tv stand (it was originally a buffet). I straightened up the kitchen, since I removed a few things both to the charity pile and to other places and I made the closet in the kitchen (its really a coat closet but we use it as extra storage) in to cake baking and decorating central. Lastly we put the "extra" tv tower in my office for jewelry display, its been many things but its never actually held any electronics!
Now for the good part, the photos!
The new view of my office! I gained a chair as well because Brian now has a small desk next to the sofa.
The tower all decorated with jewelry, I think it looks great there!
I had to revamp the shelves and move a few mementos over.
Well we didn't get a new dog but she insisted on being in the shot, this is the area in the living room!
View from the eat-in kitchen area in to the family room.
The other side of the family room, its much more open to walk in to. We haven't moved the pictures yet, but we will sometime this week so they are centered on the wall.
You get the idea!
The cabinet, it was a stained cabinet in a brownish tone with brass hardware.
A closer up look of my fab new handles, they are crystals and sparkly! I took only 3 weeks to pick them out :-P!
This is for a few friends who know how nutso I am about organizing and yet I even put black and white liner down (in the drawers is green!)
this may seem like an odd picture to share, but this is my new cake decorating shelves! The closet also houses are 2 extra chairs and the table leaf (in the monkey thing I sewed for it!).
Well thats all, as you can see we have a few more things until everything is settled but its done! What did you guys do this weekend?
Love the liners! Love the cake "central"! What a productive weekend... oh and of course love the new hardware! *bling*... The jewelry tower also looks like it was built for that! Way to go Ross'! You all rock!
