Ah, the living room. Once a place of no functional space now brightens my day. This corner of our room (where our Christmas tree stood) has always baffled me. Our large painting has always hung here, leaving little options for filling up the space around it: maybe a plant or a chair. It has always frustrated me because there are so many things that should be in this room. Like blocks and my girls’ art and my books and random projects we like to pick up and work on without storing in some other room, etc. This is our family space where we begin our morning and Bobby and I end our night. Shouldn’t this room work better for us??!!
Two enormous changes. One, moving my big blue painting and two, bringing a bookcase downstairs.
