A few days ago, we had our carpets cleaned. The boys and I moved all the furniture out of the living room in preparation. The carpet is only a couple years old, but once the couch and chairs were moved out, you could already see signs of the room's high-traffic spots, which made me think it might be time for a new arrangement. You know, change the room flow. This room has been exactly the same since we moved in seven years ago. The problem is the location of the TV cables. They force the TV to stay in a certain spot, which makes it really difficult to find a different place for the couch. And, if those two things have to stay put, well, there's only so much you can do with the left-over assorted chairs and end tables. (Reroute the cables? No thanks.)
We were going to have to get creative. So we did.
I don't like the new setup. It might be the best "plan B" option, but it's still awkward, and the room feels smaller.
It's still good to have something different. Change things up. The dog's toys are still in the same place, so the little K9's world didn't get all up and crazy.
But the whole thing, it's still not great.
I figure, we'll leave it this way for a while, until we get used to it, then switch everything back to the way it was before. Boom. For the win.
