Making Room for the Christmas Tree

This is the time of year that I start planning how I want to decorate the house for Christmas....where I will place trees....wreaths...vignettes...and other holiday decor.     The tree is always my biggest problem as I will need a good sized area cleared for it.
H and I decided to tackle that problem this morning.   The first thing we did was swap the couch in the family room for the one in the sunroom.    What does that have to do with making  a place for the tree....nothing!     BUT....some people ...and you know who you are,  have been saying that the sofa in the sunroom is so much more comfy than the one in the family room.  We spend more time in the family room around the holidays,  so I want everyone to be comfy!

So we flip flopped the sofas....

Here is the new home for the old family room sofa.   As you can see,  I haven't got the sunroom back together yet.

I wanted a little more pink on the sofa so I replaced the white cushion covers with pink ones.   I also moved the coffee table to the sunroom and put a big ottoman in front of the sofa.   Put your feet up and stay awhile...lol!  How can I do that with a big silver tea set on it you ask....well,  it's only there for the photo....it goes back to the dining room table after I take the pictures.    

I changed the covers on the love seat too.... 

I added more pink to match the sofa....

I also placed the love seat on a diagonal that leaves a space behind it in the corner of the room for....finally,  wait for it....a Christmas tree.   I bet you thought I would never get to the tree part of my post.

See the stuff kind of piled at the left end of the sofa?   After Thanksgiving,   the wheel chair will be rolled to the garage for the holidays,  the chandy will be moved and keep your fingers crossed that it will fit..... a pretty pink and white Christmas tree will be put there.
