Redesign with what you have already.

I have to share with you a fun story about this bookshelf.


BEFORE

It all started in the family room . . .

We were in need of something big enough
to balance out the TV cabinet on the large wall.

We walked through the house we were able to find
one bookshelf that was in the basement --- no one wanted it in their room.

And the only reason it was still in the house was because,
it was custom made by an uncle.

We brought it upstairs and placed it on it's SIDE!
(because it was too tall otherwise).

My friend could not believe we were really going to use it sideways ---

But look how great it works.

AFTER

Along with the TV cabinet and the accessories it gives enough weight to that side of the room. The room is now more balanced.

We moved the couch at an angle and squared up the two chairs around it. We also moved the cedar chest behind the couch as a sofa table.

The Room definatly feels COZY!

As you look at the bookshelf and imagine it turned upright there is a little cut out shelf that was made just to put a clock radio on.

How fun that we could repurpose this piece that no one wanted in their room and make it a major focal point in the family room.

Look around your house and consider using something differently that it was intended ---

It really gets your creative juices flowing!
