Quiet Weekend? I Don't Think So ....

It was supposed to be a quiet weekend.  

A kicking-back weekend to

catch up on my reading for my book club 

and possibly taking a nice walk in the city.  

BUT, it's too darn cold out and I can

only sit quietly for so long ...

Boredom is worse than death to me.  

I can't sit still so I decided to take down all 

the art off the walls and move some

furniture around to give myself a 

new perspective in some of my rooms.

This is the former eat-in part of my kitchen 

and I wanted to just sit, relax and

enjoy the sun in this part of my home.  

 I moved a small couch there, changed the

art and pulled out one of my saris to see what a 

hit of color would do to the space.  The sari is 

fuchsia with gold running through it.  

I dug out my red, deep orange, and fuchsia 

pillows that went with a beaded 

ethnic pillow I had.

I love sitting in these warm colors.

 This is what the eat-in area of my kitchen

looked like before the move.  There

is no doubt I love this but in the winter

in Canada, the sun is everything.

I wanted to relax in it's warmth and enjoy

the beautiful old church next door.

I moved the table and chairs back

into the original dining room which

is so cozy and much more conducive

to great conversation during 

dinners with friends.  

My plaster fireplace mantle is from the sets

of the Shaw Festival which was a fabulous

buy.  It is probably one of my fav

pieces of furniture.  Of course,

a home is not a home without

fairy lights.  

I will show you some of the changes

in the other rooms once the

sun cooperates with 

the photography.

Are you a room changer?
