I told myself I wouldn’t re-arrange the upstairs furniture for about a year. At least not until we finished the basement. Everything was just fine, and moving furniture around was a waste of time. I made it four months.

My resolve disappeared. Re-arranging furniture is like getting a new house. It’s fun to try something different. I’m always looking for ways to make it better, and overall it’s a pretty quick project. I still feel like I lost a bet though. But it’s to myself, so I kind of still won too, right?

The office is back to being the dining room, and the large living/dining room is now just a living room.

Now

Is it better? Yes, for a big family party. I like the dining room in the back, it is closer to the kitchen. It still could use a bit of fine tuning, and I’ll decide more after I live with it for awhile. I have realized that nothing is perfect. Maybe I got a bit closer.

And we finished-ish the stairs. I’ll get more pictures soon!
