Been shoving furniture around.


My reading corner (without a bookshelf):



The shelf just didn't work there. It's too tall to go under the window and too long to go on the other wall, and too unstable to angle across. I might try to find a shelf to replace the round table, or I might not. Right now the round table is hiding one of my speakers.


The entertainment center wall:



I left it on the same wall it was on, mainly because I can't move it across the room by myself. Shoving it a few feet along the same wall is one thing, but to actually move it, I'd have to pick it up because it catches on the area rug. Need your thoughts-- do I need to conscript some help to move it across the room? Since the shelf I was looking at putting in that corner wouldn't work there, the only real case for moving it would be so that it isn't the first thing you see when you walk in the door.


The full effect:



It looks a lot better as is. As I said, I'm still open to the suggestion of switching the entertainment center and sofa, I just couldn't do that alone. Do you think I still ought to?


And, what about this space:



Obviously, I'm a clutterbug. I think that spot looks empty, which is why it currentl has a random dining room chair in it. What do you think I should put there?

a. something along the lines of a table
b. something along the lines of a bookshelf
c. something along the lines of a (fake) potted plant (fake because I can't keep anything real alive)
d. something along the lines of an art arrangement
e. absolutely nothing


And speaking of empty spaces, I also have this one:



That's to the left of the entertainment center. Should I fill that spot with:

a. something along the lines of a table
b. something along the lines of a bookshelf
c. something along the lines of a (fake) potted plant (fake because I can't keep anything real alive)
d. something along the lines of an art arrangement
e. absolutely nothing
f. None of the above, move the sofa to that wall-- the sofa is long enough that there won't be a space issue there.


And, in case anyone was wondering about the bookcase, it got reassigned to the dining room.



This actually works because:

1. I needed more light in there and now I have a lamp
2. I needed to pull some of the reds into that space and had never figured out how to do it, except with a red tablecloth which looks horrid.

I'm thinking I might replace the candles with a decanter set, which would make more sense in the dining room. What do you think?

And, if you see a spot where you think I ought to put the other vertical picture (complements the one between the window and the door), let me know.

Also, if you have any ideas about the top of the entertainment center, let me know.

And do you think it's worth the effort to paint in an apartment? I really hate the white walls. I've been flirting with some pale antique gold kind of thing for a while now...

Finally, what sort of window treatment (if any) do you think I ought to do on the balcony door?
