Addicted 2 Art, what's your addiction?

There is an art to arranging furniture. One has to look at the room and the furniture and see if it really works and how one can make it come together to make the best use of the space. I had my dinning table near the patio door because I also use the table as a desk and drawing table at times and I wanted the light to come through so I wouldn’t have to use any electricity. Of course you wonder should you place the sofa in front of the window, fire place or patio doors. If you place the sofa in front of the fire place you will have to move it during the winter where you use the fire place or not. It just seems proper to face the fire place during the winter. It also depends on whether you have a base at the bottom of the fire place or if its down to the floor. You also have to consider whether or not the window has a sill and if you use it for plants or little objects that you would want to be visible For me the perfect location was in front of the sliding patio doors and I could finally place the sofa table which I made behind the sofa. I can still look over the sofa and see into the back yard and its cozier than before.

I recently made some modifications to a coffee table that someone through out many months ago. I saw the potential in the table. I brought it inside and bleached it down. Then I tightened all of the screws and I went to Ikea and found some gray black and silver casters that look great on the black carpet. The baskets that hold magazines fits under the table and they match the table color. It just makes things easier to maneuver. I wish I could find some casters for the table in which my television sits. That would open up the room even more and I could wheel it out when needed. I’ll keep looking for the right table or get some help to see if there might be holes in the legs where I can install casters.

Once you move furniture around it changes your perspective and your mood when you enter the room. Organization is one key to creating a great living space and home.
