Changing the furniture round….

Our daughter came today in between patients & said the sofas need to be round the other way! I think she might be right. Our son in law moved the wood burner nearer to where it’s going to actually sit in the corner. As a consequence we were able to move the dresser along & the room looks more balanced.

The sofas are now facing the garden.

Sorry we are a bit full on with stuff here so you’re getting rather a lot of house pictures.
I spent the day painting all the bare wood door architraves….top coat tomorrow. A bit fed up with the job but our painter is ill so it’s down to me.

Glad things are beginning to get straight at last.
I just need a nice large cosy rug to sink our toes in!

Yes that’s great! I’m admiring the crochet blankets!

[Lesley]

Hmmm tough call, but I think she’s right. It all looks so lovely.

[Beryl Lloyd]

Ooh yes , that looks better -- I would hate to have my back towards the garden . with the birds flittering around and the occasional squirrel (if they come scampering into your garden ! ) Looks cosy with the light on your lovely dresser ! Well done "daughter "!! fav

[Casablanca]

Looks super, very homely and spacious

[Pam Knowler]

Oh I am loving your house shots! I think looking out into the garden will be perfect all year round! Put your bird feeders near the house and you will have a wonderful display all winter!

[Dianne]

It all looks very cosy and it’s been lovely to watch the progress from start to finish.

Looks great our 'Daughters' are good at getting us reorganized. It does look great and nice to see the other crochet blanket

[Maggiemae]

It all looks lovely with the light coming from the small lamps. I expect you have some single chairs somewhere too!

[Carole G]

Looks very inviting and a good real estate agent photograph

[Pat Knowles]

@maggiemae Too many single chairs maggie, we don’t know what to do with them. You can see a leather one her in the photo & we can bring others in if we have lots of company but a couple will have to go ….no idea where but to be decided!

[Pat Knowles]

@julzmaioro Yes it’s good to have another thought on the job.

[Pat Knowles]

@pamknowler I think we will Pam….they are in the tree halfway down the garden at the moment….we need to get one of those ones you push in the ground with hooks on.

[Pat Knowles]

@beryl Thank you Beryl…..it’s the best way round I know it makes it more separate from the rest of the room too.

[Pat Knowles]

@judithg Aren’t they lovely….very trendy I’ve been told. My aunt made them years ago….she would be in her early nineties now so they must be well made…very thick too.

[Pat Knowles]

@yorkshirekiwi @dide @casablanca @tinley23 Thanks for your thoughts & comments…glad you’re not too fed up of renovations!!

[Joan Robillard]

You have to live with something a little bit to really know where you want.

[Judith Greenwood]

@happypat definitely in fashion!

[Bep]

Your living looks very cosy and inviting.

[Babs]

Looks good. Having the sofas facing the garden gives you a perfect view of the birds who visit.

Our sofa in the family room faces the garden and I have a wonderful view of the patio, the bird bath and the garden feeders. Keeps me entertained.

[Margaret Pengelly]

This looks so pretty. The lights shining sets of the beauty so well - so warm, cosy and inviting. Enjoy.

[Phil Howcroft]

Pat, i am sure you will do a good job with the painting

[GaryW]

Such a comfortable looking place!

[Jane Pittenger]

Perfect

[bkb in the city]

You certainly have a beautiful home

[leggzy]

It looks lovely...I quite like the rustic little coffee table in the centre

[Lou Ann]

I love this layout. I love the secretary on the wall behind the sofa I’m so glad you kept it.

[Mave]

Very homely

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

Looks very nice Pat, it's been a good job jobbed. FAV

[Cally]

I’ve skimmed back through your photos as I noticed ( next Friday) your sofa has moved. Yes, this looks good as you are taking in the outside view as well.
