It’s either the season or the fact I want some things in my life to CHANGE, but I’ve had redecorating on my mind lately. The living room suddenly didn’t work for me–too full of furniture, the coffee table wasn’t right, we need more bird feeders.

I hemmed it up, rotated the coffee table 90 degrees, and took the ottoman for the Eames lounger upstairs to open up some space. And blammo! “New” room for zero dollars.
