Yes,...Thank you all for the encouraging comments! <br />Yes, our lounge is warm and cozy, thank you for saying so. Still, it is time for change and the pictures don't quite show the wear and tear (and artistic endeavors of a small child) of 7 years of family living.<br /><br />As for the uncluttered look, I'm afraid it doesn't always work that way. Right this minute there is a pile of stuff on the table and another pile of stuff in another corner and a pink bicycle in the middle of the floor, oh my!Lola Novahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14215529779296867987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2192284109825219343.post-25845353444561555042010-03-02T05:10:17.051-08:002010-03-02T05:10:17.051-08:00I've been admiring your home on Flickr for a w...I've been admiring your home on Flickr for a while now, and I love the look you've got, but I can't wait to see the changes, either!<br /><br />As Densie says, look after yourself too...Flosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18098894367955345944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2192284109825219343.post-65941094754660124102010-03-02T01:10:53.003-08:002010-03-02T01:10:53.003-08:00Hi Alex

I know what it's like to need to change your home environment to better reflect the person you are today. I look forward to seeing/reading more about it.<br />Thank you for your lovely comment, as always, and the quote - it is wonderful. <br />Take good care of yourself. I'm not necessarily the best practitioner of what I'm about to say, but I'm sure it is helpful - when times are tough and trying, endeavour to make only the necessary steps and try to avoid doing too much, filling life with too much busyness. If you have a ray of sunshine, let it warm your face. And if you see a pretty bunch of flowers, bring them home. The simple things are always best in soothing the soul.<br />Big hugs to you,<br />D xA Bun Can Dancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02230119874949525088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2192284109825219343.post-42075204236257193682010-03-02T00:21:23.579-08:002010-03-02T00:21:23.579-08:00Oooh, I love following a renovation in progress.

And paint (tho not quite fitting in the challenge) is CHEAP! And it can so drastically change the look of your rooms! I also say, paint the coffee table! And, couldn't you possibly find another spot for that beautiful cabinet? It looks as if it could be a portable closet of some sort. Like a wardrobe?<br />And I think your home is perfectly lovely as it is...warm, cozy, and inviting!

How fun that you have The Engineer on board with this as it is much better than trying to twist arms. Is that a gold record that I see above the table? About the paint, I think the people who do the paint can put some color in the prime to help cover better.

Priming is SO worth it to cover dark colors (or paint in dark colors). It all becomes less slippery and coverage in two coats (plus +1 primer) is better than 5 coats.<br /><br />And the coffee table.. I say paint it as well.<br /><br />All my furniture has been given to me or found at the thrift store so maybe a couch isn't out of reach?crzyladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01096667449818067044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2192284109825219343.post-58347706793506414212010-03-01T10:42:09.638-08:002010-03-01T10:42:09.638-08:00I think your home is lovely as is but I do underst...I think your home is lovely as is but I do understand the need for change.
