ofpaper answered your question: Ahhh! I just had a furniture epiphany!

do tell!

Hahaha well this will get boring before it gets interesting (!) but I’m still settling all smaller pieces of furniture since moving, up to and including my desk (which isn’t very big, actually a writing desk) and I still need some shelving of some sort to accommodate books and photos.  BUT I just realized that if I abandon the ‘dream’ of a bench in my front hall (which I wasn’t totally sold on) and place a large bookcase in there, room divider size, that opens up possibilities, including a reading nook/area in the living area and would look really good (I think) and still leave lots of room in the front hall.

AND I’m stealing the idea from a friend (who just moved herself and gave her blessing) of a nice wall decal in my room on the wall I can’t hang anything on (it’s secretly a wall of panelling so it only has give but is painted apartment white so you can’t tell until you try to hang something), I could move this odd peacock theme* I have into there, which makes more sense with colour schemes.

If that made any sense to you, I tip my hat.

*I just happened to buy a lamp with peacock feathers on it to go on my desk and followed that up with the chair which also has a peacock pattern to it.  They’re not my favourite animal or anything, it just worked out that way and it’s really grown on me because it’s a bit unusual and combines both my loves of green and kooky.
