Furniture Fun!

Josh & I have lived in our apartment for about a year and a half. It's only a one-bedroom but we're pretty sure we're going to stay here for another 8-10 months. It's fairly inexpensive and, frankly, we don't want to move. Steven sleeps through the night so he doesn't bother us in our room and we're not feeling too cramped yet. I agreed to stay here on one condition: that I could rearrange the furniture & put everything wherever I wanted it. I took before, during, and after pictures and I think you'll see why I wanted to rearrange everything.
This is the view from where the fireplace is. (Northwest corner) We originally put the couches on the side they are in this picture because they wouldn't fit on the other side if we had the TV in there. (We moved the TV into our bedroom so we should've done this a long time ago...)
View from opposite corner (behind the couch)
In the process. View from Southwest corner. (The way to get the shot from the opposite side was blocked)
View from fireplace during the transition

All done! View from fireplace. Josh's desk is still a mess but I am not going to deal with that right now...

View from opposite side (behind the table.View when you come in the door. Before, Josh's desk almost blocked your path completelyYay! I'm so glad it's done! It feels sooooo much bigger :) Merry Christmas to me :)

You did an awesome job! It looks so great. I can't wait to be done with moving and settle into someplace I can decorate.

I love the new set-up!
I just re arranged my living room as well, and I should have taken before during and after shots too.. but I've been really lazy with blogging lately.
Anyways.. enjoy your new living room!
