We decided to try and pull off a living room redesign before Christmas. It's something we've been talking about since summer that would give us a little more breathing room in there and with family coming for the holidays, why not. Unfortunately, or fortunately come to think if it, it's not as simple as moving the couch & the TV. Each move affects another move and then triggers another move which avalanches again into yet another move reaching out to other rooms all over the house, til before we knew it we were neck deep in a five room switcheroo that we had to break down into an easy 12-step process.
- clean/organize the mess of photos and cards in the upstairs back bedroom on the oval table and entertainment center
- take down the oval table and entertainment shelf in back bedroom
- move the green table from the dining room to the office
- move all photo-related materials (e.g. photo scanner, photo printer & photo albums) from upstairs back bedroom into the office
- move the bar out of the downstairs back bedroom to make room for boxes & Christmas stuff
- bring the Christmas stuff in from the shed to make room for the oval table & entertainment center we took down
- move all guitars and amplifiers and any related materials into upstairs back bedroom
- take down and pack up all CDs and the shelves they were on
- store CD shelves in the attic & remaining shed space and boxes of CDs in downstairs back bedroom
- remove the patio chair cushions from under the landing, clean them off & bag them up to go in the shed for the winter
- rearrange the couch, leather chair, coffee table & cubes, and move & rewire the TV under the side window
- ...... maybe you only need 11 steps to be great
What? Doesn't everyone move they're furniture upstairs like this?
This may the last time any of us see this display.
These guys didn't really do anything other than stand around eating our grass.
