After a couple of unsettling weeks, with skin conditions and waiting for my new flat screen TV for the office, I can finally curl up on my comfy couch in this room…to watch DVDs, some ancient VHS tapes, and even read. Right now I’m watching the Hallmark channel in the background as I type.
You may notice that I have re-purposed some of my items…the white table on which the TV is perched (previous dining table) and underneath, a little side table that once resided in the living room next to the loveseat. It holds the VCR/DVD player, which is definitely a thing of the past…but I like a few of those old movies.
In my bedroom, I have set up the quirky end table that once held the office TV equipment…it can be useful for when I bring my laptop into the bedroom to watch Netflix, etc., and it also holds stacks of books I’ve read and loved. I had moved the end table into the garage, but then thought: maybe it could work in my bedroom!
Speaking of “re-purposing,” after I moved the white dining table into the office, I had room for this chair next to my sofa table, and with a view of the Coca Cola dining table.

After I curl up for a while watching old movies, I hope to start reading The Swallow’s Nest, by Emilie Richards, a review book.

Three women fight for the chance to raise the child they’ve all come to love
When Lilia Swallow’s husband, Graham, goes into remission after a challenging year of treatment for lymphoma, the home and lifestyle blogger throws a party. Their best friends and colleagues attend to celebrate his recovery, but just as the party is in full swing, a new guest arrives. She presents Lilia with a beautiful baby boy, and vanishes.
Toby is Graham’s darkest secret—his son, conceived in a moment of despair. Lilia is utterly unprepared for the betrayal the baby represents, and perhaps more so for the love she begins to feel once her shock subsides. Now this unasked-for precious gift becomes a life changer for three women: Lilia, who takes him into her home and heart; Marina, who bore and abandoned him until circumstance and grief changed her mind; and Ellen, who sees in him a chance to correct the mistakes she made with her own son, Toby’s father.
A custody battle begins, and each would-be mother must examine her heart, confront her choices and weigh her dreams against the fate of one vulnerable little boy. Each woman will redefine family, belonging and love—and the results will alter the course of not only their lives, but also the lives of everyone they care for.

I do enjoy a good custody battle! The book is hefty, with 496 pages, so I will be savoring it.
What does your weekend look like? Do you enjoy making changes in your interiors? Do the changes make you look at your world a little differently?

I like making subtle changes but I am not anywhere near the changes you make! Your changes are always major and seem to come out of the blue! And they seem to involve lots of furniture changes…big furniture moves! Do you have little elves hiding somewhere perched to help you?

Ha-ha, I wish I had elves! Luckily, Patty, most of my moves involve small, somewhat light furniture. Although when I moved the couches a few years ago, I did that by myself, but that involved pushing and shoving, with no lifting.
Sometimes my changes do require big moves. I had the Geek Squad take away my little boxy TV, as I had no place for it…and didn’t think the garage was a suitable resting spot. When I get a new piece, like the TV, it is definitely a time for reshuffling things. I did some of this in stages.
They took my little end table to the garage for me, but this morning I brought it back in…”walked” it into the bedroom.

Thanks, Colline; I do enjoy reorganizing my rooms. It satisfies my “interior designs” urges.
