......what else is there to do but organize and move around furniture in your house? Well that is exactly what I did this past weekend, it felt SO good to organize a few rooms! It's as if I am
starting the year off with a clean slate. After the purge was complete, I focused on a little redesign of my bedroom.
*First I decided where I wanted to move my bed and other pieces I knew I would keep in there than I decided what pieces I could swap out.
*Next I walked through the house looking at every piece of furniture with an "outside eye". It's great to scout for new pieces within your own house.
*I found a small wooden (no upholstery so items can sit easily) accent chair in the Living Room which I decided to use for a side table and moved a lamp from the office to the bedroom. I stacked 3 coffee table books on the seat just to give the lamp some height.
*Colorful fabric boxes that were in the closet were pulled out and added to the bookcase for a bit of brightness! I also moved all the books stacking horizontal and vertical to create some interest.
Its amazing what a few new pieces (those that don't cost anything) can do for a new outlook in the same room. Now I love the "newness" feel and it's the room I want to spend all my time in!Below are a few bedside table examples. The key is to think outside the box, nothing should be permanent!

do you have a small chest of drawers in an entry way or even in the BR you could multiple use as storage and a bedside table?
this small table could have been taken from a living room or even another BR it is a sweet little piece that could be used in multiple rooms!Have you "shopped" in your own house lately? Do you love the feel of a room when you move the furniture around to create a new space?
