There's a good reason why you can hire a Piano Removalist.

SO THAT YOU DONT BREAK YOUR BACK DOING IT YOURSELF.
So the story goes a little something like this....
Saturday mornings seem to be my day for waking up and going YUK i hate everything in this house, lets move something, paint something or just change something. Shane by now is used to this. Being as handy as we both are its good as we have gotten many things done...including ripping up carpet in 2 bedrooms, family room and the Pretty Room, Plus me being the Painter that i am i will just say ok i am painting the Bathroom or whatever today and Voila' its done.
Anyhoo...i digress, today i said 'You know what i need that Piano moved to the other side of the room.' Sam straight away put his hand up for the job (bless his 4 year old cotton sox) whilst Shane sort of looked at me like "DOH" Homer Simpson style. Yep C'mon i said. So we did. Now just between you and me it nearly killed me....we got halfway across the room and i wanted to turn and run away, yes because that would be the mature thing to do...wouldnt it??? HOWEVER i did not run, i huffed and puffed and chanted "I think i can, I think i can," while Shane cursed at me (and i just laughed at him and smiled sweetly).... but we got it there in the end and thats the main thing :)


So with that done it meant re-arranging a heap of other stuff in the family room. Unfortunately since we have 4 cats i really have to think about where i put alot of things so there isnt as much 'stuff' where i'd really like there to be. Oh well, small sacrifice to make for my Kitty Katts.
So this is my little Cafe' Corner. Cant wait till we get those gross tiles up and polish the floorboards.



Now i know that my lovely Gal Pal Lori wants some kitchen pics but sorry Lori i am in the midst of painting in there so i will do a Kichen Post when im finished. Ok Chickie :) I promise.
But heres a snippet of part of it, with my favourite cabinet.

Want to see inside????


Im ending this with a photo i took of Sam yesterday watching the Plumber outside his bedroom window. The flash didnt go off and now im glad because i think this photo is really great.

Hugz, Shann xo

You should title that pic of Sam "How much is that kiddie in the window?". I'd buy him in a heartbeat!

Love your cafe' corner, piano, & especially that little cabinet in the kitchen with all the goodies in it. Wonder if you would notice if I wore a really big trenchcoat & came over for a visit......

Hugs,

Hi Shannon! How good does it make you feel when you rearrange things?!! So refreshing! Everything looks gorgeous as usual! Would love to visit your pretty room one day and have a cuppa while daydreaming over everything pretty!
Have a good one..

Yes, I know the redecorating bug well. Isn't it unfortunate that when one room gets a re-do, another gets the mess?! Blessings... Polly
