Over at The Inspired Room<\/a> there was a challenge issued to tackle a project you had been putting off. For the past 10 months I have not liked the furniture set up in our home. Our dining room is in the front of the house away from the kitchen. Since we don’t have an eat in kitchen this means the kids carry food throughout the house to get from the kitchen to the table. We solved this by putting a kids table in the kitchen but then dh and I would end up eating standing up.<\/p>\n

I did not want to rearrange because it meant moving all of our big heavy furniture. A few weeks ago I asked the family what they thought about switching the school room and the dining room. No one wanted to do it. After everyone gave me their “no’s”\u00a0 dh explained the following to the kids.<\/p>\n

“Kids,” he said. “When mom asks you what you think of a big project she really isn’t asking for your opinion. She is just trying to gauge the amount of resistance she will face when she starts the project.”<\/p>\n

He knows me too well.<\/p>\n

After a series of incidents that are too long and complex to address in this post, dh climbed on board with my project rearrange. Once I got the green light I got to work last Friday morning with the help of the kids.<\/p>\n

I decided to video the project, since it was before my nice new camera arrived. \ud83d\ude42
\nBefore. Notice the cereal boxes on the counter…. I am so ashamed!<\/p>\n

I love our new set up and can’t believe it took me ten months to tackle this project!<\/p>\n
