Hey guys! Welcome to Fridays at Home, where I take you inside Casa de Libro to show you what else I do besides read. And I have been busy the last several weeks. If you read my review of Moonraker you know I spent all of last weekend doing house projects while listening to Simon Vance portray James Bond and whisper that sweet accent in my hot little hear. The first thing I did? Rearrange the living room furniture! I realized I had initially put the furniture this way in hopes that I would find a fireplace mantle to install sooner rather than later…

To the right of the front door and into the sunroom (notice the short curtain hung above the trim - ugh)
When I realized that 2.5 years later, there is still no fireplace for various reasons ($$ and oh yeah, I’m picky), I decided the arrangements was just not working for me. So I did a lot of staring into space:
And figured out the sofa needed to be along the wall you see when you enter. Duh. So I got to work. By the way, Maddie is no help, though she is certainly cute:
And here’s the (slightly-more) finished product:

The sofa fits much better along this wall, and now the wall doesn't look so bare (though it still needs some help).
 So that’s (part of) what I was up to last weekend. I still want to paint the inside of the front door shiny black and add some art to the various walls, but I think it’s an improvement. But right now, I’ve got to run, though – my ESL class is coming over for dinner, so I still need to grocery shop, clean, cookmowthelawntakeashower…. yeah, busy. 😉
Have a great weekend!
