Rearranging

Thats right, the Heine house is going through some rearranging and redecorating.  We didn't really plan ahead and take a before picture, but it was essentially exactly opposite of this.  The tv cabinet was in the corner where the chair is in this picture and the couch was on the long wall on the left with the loveseat making an L.  Anyways, we have been wanting to rearrange this living room for a while, because we thought this layout would open up a lot of space (and we were right!).  It has taken us a lot longer than we would have liked, but thats what happens when we are short one income...it took a little more planning and saving, but it was worth it!  The bookshelves next to the tv stand are new and we also ordered a new couch, but it will not be delivered for 6 weeks or so!  So, here is the unfinished product, what we have as of right now.  There are still many changes that we will make, including moving the bench by the fireplace.  That is our protector/distractor to keep Reegan from playing by and with the fireplace.  Were working on it...

One of our goals was to open up a space so that Reegan could have a play area.  There is a lot more space than we expected.  She loves it!  Reegan has also been doing a pretty good job of putting her toys and books back on the bookshelf when we ask, that task is going to take a long time to master :)

Still a work in progress, but I think it looks really nice. 

One project done, one hundred thousand more to go! :)
