Last week at library time, Jonathan and I were impressed by with the creative decor at the library we attended. We decided to copy one idea we saw there on Friday after some garage sale stops. We moved out all the family room furniture and cleaned the carpets (a little job that actually took a couple hours because we did the entire upstairs level). Then when we moved it all back in, we moved the furniture to face the fireplace again (it was this way when we first moved in last summer trough winter). We then bought some Christmas lights at a garage sale on Friday for $.25 and put them on a couple pieces of firewood. Now our family room is a magical reading haven again :) Since it has been a little stormy and dark here in KC lately, we have closed our curtains early and turned on the "fire" early in the evening....it has been a little romantic and feels a little like early winter :) If you have access to some unpacked lights, our crew thinks you should give it a try too!
