It's time to Re-arrange things a bit.

It's a new year and it's time for a little change of the furniture around my home. Actually anytime is a good excuse to change things up a bit. :) I'm constantly changing things, moving stuff, and of course painting or sewing something to change it up a bit and give it a new fresh look.

I had recently moved the hutch out of my kitchen space and into my dining room but haven't found the right furniture piece to put in it's place.

Here's the piece of furniture I put in place of my hutch and incase your wondering it's from IKEA and they still make this cabinet but not in yellow. :(  Here's the link to the one Ikea still makes: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/00180548/ 
I love the yellow and it brings a lot of color to the space but it wasn't the right thing for this spot. So away it went yesterday, up the stairs to the loft where the kiddo's and I hangout, read our books, magazine's and just sit and chat. I had an empty spot in the loft because I recently took the tv out and transported it to my room. Which is now a new project I created for myself but that will half to wait for another day.  *note: The little burlap sacks that spell out JOY are from a friends shop Hydrangea Hippo at Crafted, in Long Beach.

Here's the furniture piece and goodies that I replaced the yellow cabinet with. The framed piece is a chalk/bulletin board I'm able to write on it with chalk as well as pin things to it. Love that!
I think this piece gives the area more space then the hutch or yellow cabinet did and the colors flow better which you'll see in the pics below.

*Side note: This antique cabinet belonged to my dad's Aunt until I was lucky enough to have it for my home. Years ago I added the wood medallions and painted it out white because really, pretty much every piece of furniture in my home is white. That way when I move things around it will always match! :)

The shift keys where purchased some time last year from a cute little Etsy shop.

Love all things that have two do with little birdies so when I spotted these two little cuties at Tai Pan this Christmas season I had to get them. The corks are saved from special occasions my husband and I have celebrated over the years.

It's a pretty neutral pallete I have in our family room so I'm sure you can see why the yellow may have been a bit to much color! :) I'm still on the look out for the perfect area rug for this space since the hardwood floors I'm dreaming of will half to wait a bit.

I definitely think the colors flow much better through to the kitchen area.

Now a little view from the kitchen through the family room and onto my work space which is my office, creating area, and scrapbooking room all in one. The two matching lights in my work space are semi new items that I recently bought from IKEA, I just love when Ikea changes things up a bit. LOVE them!!!

*I'll share pis of loft where the yellow IKEA cabinet ended up just as soon as I find or make a cute valance for the window in the loft. Always something fun to do! :)

Thanks for stopping by. :)
