Okay. Sometimes I like clutter. I am a thriftaholic, so clutter is a part of my life. But every so often something snaps and I have to declutter. Today it was the living room. I know, I know. I’m not supposed to be in the living room today, but I’ll swap today’s rooms for tomorrow’s and it will all be fine. 
If you remember the art center that was recently set up in here, don’t worry. It’s on the move. Everything’s still intact, but the art desk itself is going to a different area. More on that later.
Do you feel like things get moved around a lot? My husband does too. 
Anyway, here is a view from one side of the room:
There’s a new lace panel hanging in the front of the shelf that had so much stuff in it. The music makes its way right through. 
The loveseat is set up to face the warm stove, where I can sit and read my gardening magazines, dream of spring, meditate and nap.
I really like it. It didn’t take much work. A few pieces just moved around a bit and a few items came out, some for donating, some for the recycle and the trash, and some for another spot in my home.
Just wanted to share part of the day’s happenings.

Lynn,
It looks so cozy and I love all the touches of white! I was thinking last night in bed that I need to find some practical ways to being lighter colors into our livingroom as spring rolls around.
Have a great day!

Thanks Hannah! I still feel strongly about my daughter having the art center, but it was just beginning to get overwhelming for me in my little living room!
I love a shabby chic feel, with slip covers, touches of white. Thank goodness for washing machines, though!
As Pooh would say,
Happy Winds-day,
Lynn
