Rearrange the Furniture

Cozy, cozy
I wasn't expecting this.  Christmas always brings gifts.  Some are in unusual packages.  This one certainly couldn't be wrapped.

Every year we rearrange the furniture to accommodate the tree, the dinners and the extra lovely people. The resulting configuration is more than pleasant, and I always ask that we leave it when the tree has gone out to rest in the arms of the Persimmon--sofa and occasional chairs in the dining room and dining table in the larger living room.

This year I didn't ask.  Little reasons for returning objects to their old pattern were shifted slightly until they were no longer a problem.  This year, for the first time, we are keeping the cozy sitting area and enjoying the larger dining space. And here is where the unexpected gift arrived.

Perfect lunch location


A snuggly, comfortable chair is now in the sunshine in the early afternoon.  I ate my lunch in that chair, in the sunshine, warm and pleasant though it was winter outside--best of the various Things I get to do today.

Any of you who are going crazy with the cold and the winter, consider rearranging your furniture.  Create an oasis of sunshine available sometime during your day. Snuggle and bask in the delicious warmth of this gift to yourself and your soul.

    1. Well, as I said above, the seating area WAS the dining room. Why do they get the best light? Thanks for stopping by. I see you are in my mom's neck of the woods. She lives north of Spokane.

  4. For years now, I have been "threatening" to move the dining room furniture to the living room area, and the living room stuff to the dining room where it receives much sun light. You may have just prodded me to do just that !!!

    1. Hooray! Give it a try. It can always be moved back if it doesn't please you. Go Kat!
