I love the video! My kids and hubby do the same as your family when I am recording something. The oldest kid and hubby run and hide, while the younger kids are in front of me putting on a show while I am trying to record.
Love the real life moments..Chew with your mouth closed and Fix your hat..LOL
The color on your walls is beautiful!
I agree with you that the feeding table is now in a good spot. Hopefully this will same some of the wear and tear on the hallway carpet. What color is that carpet?? LOL

Great thinking! Makes perfect sense, and I enjoyed the video tour. Made me feel like I was really over at your house! Fun!

Love it! Except one little thing (but heavy) I would swap the bookcases and the china cabinet in the dining room. I think it would look better when you are coming down the “hall” going into the kitchen and you look forward then you would see your pretty cabinet with your china, crystal, etc.

I love how you switched rooms & used a video to show us. When I was a kid growing up, my mom always was switching rooms around. I’ve had every bedroom in my parents house as my bedroom at one time or another. Including the master bedroom & the garage which is now the family room. Now that she is 75 she doesn’t switch rooms anymore, just moves around furniture.

I hope your new arrangement works out better for you & your family. That is what is most important.

Love the switch! — Ten months isn’t too bad. It took me that long to decide on baseboards. It took me 7.5 yrs to realize that counter stools were essential for keeping the dining area presentable. — Every time I tell dh abt one of my projects, he just says “Do whatever. It never sounds like it will look nice, but you haven’t messed up yet.” Sadly, he is gone next week & I don’t have a project scheduled! Every time he goes away, I usually do some dramatic change in some room.

I like the swap, my only concern would be the (if it were my house) mess associated with the school room. I would probably try to find a screen or curtain that can be put up to hide any mess that was bound to be there and prevent living room distractions.
