Changes in the Living Room Office
A lot of things got moved around during Creating with the Stars, so were changing a few things!
We decided to reconfigure the living room / office area. I was never very happy with how the furniture was arranged ... its awkward since it is long and narrow and the kitchen island enters the space on an angle.
Here is what we started with before Creating with the Stars (the gallery wall was updated with the larger pin board since this image)
Also, I never liked the TV on the angle since it partially blocked the window and was a focal point of the room.
When we were photographing week 2 of Creating with the Stars we moved everything from the right end of the room. When putting it back in place, we decided to move the sofa against the wall. I still have to work out the rest of the art and add the rug, but heres what I was thinking.
We are planning to sell the sofa table and bookcase because we have no room for them ...
I also like the new layout because we will have more floorspace to work on projects (this is about all we have inside to work on projects!)
I would love to add the Ikea Vittsjo (picture includes one double unit and a single unit). I was excited when I saw that Ikea ships this item, but that quickly changed when I saw the price ... $299. No that doesnt even include the furniture itself, it would cost $299 to ship my $70 piece of furniture, YIKES!! I think Ill be waiting til we make it to an Ikea, we will most likely be back to SF or LA in about a month or so, Id say that is worth saving $300!!!
I also like that the TV is moved into the corner, so it is no longer a focal point.
Do you remember the table that we found in front of our house right before Creating with the Stars began? Well be refinishing it (still TBD) and putting it in the office area.
Im also considering moving the desk in front of the large "pin" board ... still deciding.
Heres what we have left in the Living Room / Office:
EAMES chairs (its been so long! So this is at the top of the list. We have to finish polishing the other base, and sand and seal the other seat)
New pillow shams - I just ordered from fabric.com (check out the just arrived section, they have some great new options!
Finish the DIY Schumacher Zimba draperies
Refinish round table
New rug? Maybe paint the other side of our current one?
Ikea Vittsjo (probably painting too!)
Im excited to see the new changes! Ill be back soon with updates! :)
