Get a New Look without Spending a Penny

I can't seem to clean without moving furniture around.....does anyone else have that problem?   You scoot the sofa out to vacuum under it and the next thing you know it's in a different room!   The Victorian sofa that you see on the left was in the small dining room earlier today.
Here is what the formal dining  room looked like before H and I turned the big dining table around and moved it to the other end of the room.......moved the sofa in....a few chairs....and wa la....
 
a whole new look!

I brought this big round table in from the kitchen....so,  there's a new look in there too!

Here's where the sofa was earlier.....so, there's a new look in that room too!

I love how moving things around makes them "new again" without spending a "Penny".......lol....!

  2. Penny,
    You are so lucky that your room are all so large enough to move things around. I am locked in by lack of space and lack of walls!! Everything looks fantastic!! Love that sofa!! Anywhere you put it , it looks great in my opinion!!

    Thanks too for stopping by!!

    Hugs,
    Debbie

  6. Everything is so romantic and girly, then there is the last pic with the deer head and other trophies and somehow it all works. Love it. I think your house would make a great movie set. Kudos

  9. Surely the best and least expensive remedy for the I'm-bored-with-my-house blues!!! I know I often WANT to move a lot of furniture around, but my husband would be all Rob Petrie about it when he came home and fall over something! :-) It's nice that your husband pitches in to help. He must realize it's costing him a whole lot less to contribute a little elbow grease than to have to open up that wallet! Smart guy!!! :-) :-) :-)

  10. Penny...gosh, visiting you is like an adventure. I enlarge every single photo and wish I could just walk around and peek around corners. :) Such fun...then suddenly I will see something and thing
    k.."OH..I have that. I could do that". Like buying a favorite magazine and reading it cover to cover and waiting for the next issue with anticipation. FUN!
    I have dug so many of my crocheted pieces out of drawers and put them to use in ways I never would have thought of if it hadn't been for you.
    I know you have many blessings...but..one of them is that wonderful and helpful and talented husband of yours! What fun the two of you must have together, creating and making a delightful home! Yours is anything but a "cookie cutter" home! Such a fan here!

  12. It would be lovely to have such lovely big rooms to do so much with. It's all so pretty

    ReplyDelete
  13. I think my table might be the same as yours! I always end up having to move the furniture when I clean, but that is usually to remove all the stray cheerios and awol sippy cups ;) Such is the life with 4 kiddos right now, but it won't always be this way. I would love to have such comfy looking seating like you did with your table, but again, that will probably need to wait until they are bigger for the sake of the furniture! I think it is wonderful when someone's style is so cohesive that any piece can work virtually anywhere like you have done! Thanks for linking up!

  16. How beautiful your room is. We do not have a small house, but there is no way I can move things around........every space has its purpose. But I do love your room

  17. You have so many beautiful things and so much creativity. I'm certainly looking at my turquoise and red livingroom with different eyes now.

  22. Yes! I love moving the furniture around. Why not in the middle of the night if I get a new idea? Confusing my poor family from time to time...

  23. It is fun to mix things up a little from time to time Penny. I put a new spread on my bed yesterday and the chair I have in there does not look good now. Going to do a little mixing up tomorrow. Thanks for sharing with SYC. I like the changes Penny!
