“Summer”izing a Living Room in an Afternoon
Happy First Day of Summer! I have been so focused on making over the guest room and bathroom, that I was not paying attention that summer is officially here.
It hit me when I walked into my sofa-less living room this morning and realized I didn’t lighten things up for the summer months. Time to make at least a little effort to “summerize” the room.
Since giving my sofa to my daughter a few weeks ago, I found I really don’t miss it. I have been looking though online for one, but even Ed mentioned last week, why get one at all? The chairs suit me just fine, maybe get two more chairs instead. After hearing him say this I remembered I had saved a photo of a room with four identical chairs. I found it. I love this room in the above photo. The clean, easy breezy, uncluttered look. To me it says… summer, but I would love it all year round.
I do think I would miss a sofa though, unless I could find recliners that were stylish and comfy at the same time….
