BIG FURNITURE...BIG RE-ARRANGEMENT...BIG PAYOFF

                    It has been written on this blog before, that I am a serial re-arranger,and perhaps some of you will remember this piece of furniture that I snapped up at a yard sale this summer. I fell in love with this credenza/sideboard, and the fact that it was a mega bargain didn't hurt either. It wound up on this wall in the living room, because it was the only place that would accommodate such a long piece.
I knew that it was only a matter of time before I would have to move it..if only for my sanity. My inner Feng Shui was fighting with this arrangement.
In my minds eye, I saw this in the dining room, on this wall, where the big hutch was. My son was gracious enough to help me out and with a little muscle, we had it emptied and  moved across the dining room in...well..not lickety split...it was a big job!We of course had to empty the china cabinet on the wall that the pine hutch was now going on, so...everything wound up on the dining room table, and that china cabinet was moved to the living room, but not before we emptied this huge cabinet out and found a new place for it in the office. Have you lost track of where everything was being moved? It is a little confusing, but let's keep our eye on the reason for all of this...
the credenza is now a side board in the dining room, with the mirror hanging smartly above it. The pine hutch is on the wall across the room, and the antique china cabinet that was on this wall is now in the living room. It is now filled with part of my hammered aluminum collection and thanks to my husband, the paintings were hung above it today. The big bonus in all of this work, is this corner of the living room. Where the credenza once stood, we now have the two leather chairs and were able to hang my Russian Tea Room poster up. This poster has been rolled up in the office closet for many years and now, finally, sweet husband of mine built a frame around it and I can look at it everyday in the living room.
          Was it worth emptying, and moving four huge pieces of furniture, a large, heavy mirror, and several framed paintings? Absolutely! I couldn't be happier with the results.
          I am linking this with Susan's blog, Between Naps on the Porch, to participate in her Metamorphosis Monday.  I am also linking up to Smiling Sallies, Blue Monday for the pretty blues in this poster.  Stop by these blogs and check out all of the amazing Monday posts....it is never disappointing.
♥, Susan

Ha, ha, ha---I can't believe how much you are like me. Don't we drive our family nuts with all the moving; yet, they are nice enough to say--"Oh, I like it that way".

I do like the changes you have made! Nice--I like the way the white piece looks under the mirror.

You asked about the site for the snowflakes--you were supposed to click on the HERE on my post. ha! But here is the link:

I would be overwhelmed with all you did. My gosh.
In the end I do think it was worth it. It looks great, you got a new piece in the office and hung up the tea room poster. Excellent.

Wow! This was a lot of work but everything looks so nice now. You have so many lovely things and it's good to have a son around with muscles to help out! I remember the days.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)

[Karen - The Graphics Fairy]

I think it's so much fun to get a whole new look just by moving things around. Your hard work has paid off, great job!

[susan]

okay-I'm tired now :) Girl, you have got some glasses! I love the piece in the dining room as a sideboard. It is perfect there...at least for a while :)

[Furniture Online]

Looks beautiful. Love your country pine dining furniture!

[Charla @ For the Sake of Time]

You have been busy! Son's need to help their mothers. You tell him he gets a high five from all of us. Thanks for sharing. Have a great week.

[Diann @ The Thrifty Groove]

what a huge job but what a great payoff! it looks awesome!

[Allison]

Your rearranging looks great! Love your Russian Tea room poster and the way the aluminum pieces look in the dark cabinet.

[Melody]

Great Makeover! Are those aluminum tv style lap trays I see with a handle on the table??!!! Holy cremoly where did you find those?

[susan ericson]

Hi Melody, Actually, the trays are made by Arthur Armour, and I have been collecting one of each different motif that I have been able to find, specifically in one size. I realized one day that they fit neatly into the magazine racks, so I can display some and keep the others neat and tidy. I tend to rotate the different trays at different times of the year.

[Jennifer]

Love the rearrangement. Your son looks about as happy as my son when he is my helper. I'm so glad to have a helper with muscle around besides Dad now!

[Julia @ Hooked on Houses]

I love how you displayed your hammered aluminum collection. It's beautiful!

[Karen]

I think your antique china cabinet is divine!! I love it! I love the way, too, your hammered aluminum collection looks displayed in it.

Happy Blue Monday!

[Brenda Kula]

It looks wonderful there! I remember when you found that piece. So unusual. I feel rejuvenated, and tell myself that I've also burned lots of calories moving things all about the house and outdoors too!

[Sally]

Whew! I'm tired just from watching you and your son work so hard, but it sure paid off. I love that poster, and the blue color in it. Happy Blue Monday.

[Marianne@Songbird]

Lol when you start to move things you don't kid around now do you.
But everything looks great like it has always been there and that is a good sign in my book!

[Sheila]

Susan, it looks great... like it was all mean to be! And I love that painting of the cows. That caught my eye in the first shot, and I followed it through its arrival where it currently lives. You really did find the best spots for your pieces. Love them all. Love the poster, too.

Happy Blue Monday...

XO,

Sheila :-)

[Maey]

You were very busy but the result is wonderful. I loved the blues in the poster and hope you are having a great Blue Monday.

[jeanne]

Hello Susan, your vision paid off. every piece you moved is now where it belongs. Good for your son for helping you. Kids hate that kind of work. HA! I love the mirror above the credenza. I love the shabby chic white too. It all looks lovely. The Tea room poster is awesome. I know you are happy to finally hang it. Love your collection as well.

Hugs, Jeanne

[Greenearth]

Love people who keep changing things. It does look great.

[laura @ the shore house]

Oh MY you've been busy over at BES's house. :-) I think most of all I love the antique china cabinet in the living room...the hammered aluminum really "pops" against the dark color and the piece itself fits really, really well there. Nice work!

We bought a church pew this weekend...VERY exciting...so there was a bit of shorehouse re-org, too. Not as much as you accomplished, though!

[Kim @ Cheap Chic Home]

Goodness me, what a project. Everything looks wonderful-- will you be content for awhile?

[carolee]

It looks just fabulous, and I'm green with envy - Oh, to have enough room to re-arrange, lol!

LOVE the poster!! :)

~ Carolee

[Lara Harris]

Very nice!I love that poster too!:)

[Pat]

So that's where you've been, Susan! :-) Everything looks so perfect in its new place. You will appreciate having that credenza in the dining room during the holidays.

I love the Russian Tea Room poster! Your husband did a great job making the frame.

Hugs, Pat

[Nancy]
