Once more, with feeling

Like a dog with a bone... I can't let it rest.  This is what happens when it rains and I can't just go to the park all morning!  First thing this morning (meaning after at least 1.5 cups of coffee), I parked the kids in front of Thomas the Tank Engine and rolled up my sleeves.  First thing I did was move the white cabinet to where I thought I could use some height, which left room to try the couch on the other side.  he next thing I did was straighten the chairs so Shannon's head would stay put.  En route to putting the sideboard back to the window, I decided I kind of liked it on the side wall. It makes it feel like more of a four-sided room, although getting by is a bit tight.  We'll see about that one, It may go back to the window.  The space behind the sofa seemed kind of wasted (i have to get used to it I guess) so that is where I put the kids table and some of their toys.

The globes are obnoxious I know, I just wanted to get them all out of the way.  I will move one of two up to Will's room.

I think my 'winter' curtains will help give this area a little more definition... I am going to try to consolidate some of the plants too in one area so they don't feel so sprinkled...

Amazing how much time one can waste dithering about this stuff - although I have to say I am a pretty damn quick re-arranger.  I had this all in place by the time the boys emerged bleary-eyed from the basement. But now I am tired - time for some tea!
