living room.. dining.. family room?

well, we did it.  we rearranged.. AGAIN!  the original formal living room, made dining room.. is now our new family room.  i pretty much gave up on trying to create a space that is both functional, and design perfect.. as it cannot be done with the furniture we own.  and since i have virtually NO budget to work with.. function won out, in the end.  i finally tired of beating my head against a wall.. and just did what i knew i had to.. in spite of the extra work it would involve for the men in my life. [since i’m not allowed to lift anything, i depend on them for the moving around of furniture]  oh, and don’t even think of asking me what the former family room will become.. as it sits, a mix match group of furniture, awaiting it’s designation.  so.. as for the new family room, furniture arrangement has been determined.  all we have to do is clear it all out again and begin the makeover. sigh.  yep.. the fun work of hole filling, sanding, & painting awaits us.  :P  now.. if only the hubs could get more than one day off, we could get started!!
