Happy New Year! (2004)

Happy, happy New Year everyone. This is a mild day for us. It’s supposed to get to the upper 60’s, and that’s definitely not the norm for us on a January day.

We are moving stuff around today, taking this first day of the New Year to clean up junk, do extra laundry, and just put that dent in all that’s piled up this last year. We are mostly dealing with our master bedroom of course 😉

So, it’s back to the tasks. I’ve taken furniture apart, a crib/daybed … to move it to the livingroom/dining room as a sitting spot for the children to read. We are moving the entire arrangement of our master bedroom around. I just do not like to keep things in one position for very long. The bed is the biggie for me, too difficult to move, and it’s itching that spot in my brain … Today is the day! Finally. 🙂

    How did the rearranging go?

    We’ve done a similar arrangement with our living/dining areas…switched them so the dining table is in front of the fireplace, etc. Makes it easier to stay warm 😉 and still work on projects and what not. We have an “open floorplan” though so bringing recliners and rocking chairs back over (or back-n-forth ;)) is not a big deal. I’ve always thought our “living area” a weird space so I’m not really ever satisfied and move things around frequently.

    Anyway, hope it went well and is “liveable” for a while! 😀

    The re-arranging went alright. Our bedroom is better. We have the bed angled in a corner, so when you walk in it’s right there at a nice angle. I take no spiritual stock in that oriental stuff, [Feng S…] but the basic principles of it [that I’ve learned about some] do make me feel nicer and more welcome in a room –FWIW, so this change has blocked a window and made the bed the first drawing eye thing, right up to the mound of big pillows. It’s an amazing difference.

    The dining room (old living room) isn’t as great yet. There’s still more stuff in there than should be. Futon frame standing on it’s side … for one thing. We put the futon mattress on top of our King master bed. The futon is Queen size. It’s really cool now actually. I have space next to my side, the old mattress, to put books, remotes, etc, safely. My DH has the same on his side. It also elevates the bed more, and gives a knee-up deally with that extra King mattress space on each side, to launch onto the top of it all easier 😉

    Sounds goofy, but looks lush, and feels great. The futon is a firm one, but is so nice on top of a mattress and box spring. One of those weird ideas I get, able to convince DH, and he’s glad we did it now.

    Just need to find a home for the futon frame until we can get another futon for it (we decided to use it differently because it wouldn’t stay sitting up on the frame anymore). That’s that story.

    I have things to move around in the dining area too. Eventually it’ll be a lot nicer. When? Who knows! 🙂
