Sunday morning, it was overcast, and I wanted to get busy. I didn't feel like going anywhere actually. Maybe clean a little bit of the house. Yes, that's what I'll do. I've been wanting to rearrange the furniture in the living room for months now. This time, it was time!! The couch and loveseat haven't been arranged differently from where they were for years!! Seriously. So, in order to get the vacuum under the couch and clean up webs and cat toys, etc., the furniture had to be moved out. Right? But! Once I moved everything out, and rearranged everything, I realized something was amiss [Heck, I KNEW for years, but never did anything about it] something just didn't match the whole scheme. Guess what? I ended up going shopping against my best intentions. I came up with a simple, inexpensive solution...something that 'works' with the Southwestern theme.
Now, here comes the "just for fun" part of the blog...Can you spot the difference from "Before and After" images?
If you didn't catch the difference, I took the rattan, glass top end tables and covered them with two identical Mexican blankets...to cover up the 'tropical look' and make it more "western". Now maybe some new curtains to cover the vertical blinds? Who knows what can of worms I opened up for myself. Of course, for the decades it took me to 're-cover' the rattan, and think of changing curtains, I will probably be 6 feet under. The bright side of it all is that Isaiah enjoyed the play time!!!
