When Things Aren’t Changing Right Away

You know what it’s like.

Sometimes the major pieces in a room aren’t going anywhere

anytime soon.


Why?  The usual suspect: budget.

Or maybe you just aren’t ready yet.

Let’s also say that your den is the room in question,

but…


let’s also say you like red and zebraprint,

and the wingback chair sitting next

to the red glossy/chipped finished

chest that belonged to your mother.

And then there’s the old, worn dining table

and its chairs whose seats are covered in dull red too.

And the couches- which will be

the first thing to go when the time comes-

are looking a little tired,

but they are so comfortable

and great for naps and football watching.

So when that happens,

may I recommend doing what I did?


Go to Ross and spend a very small

amount of money

to show you are in it to win,

at least for now.


You are saying, ‘I like this room just as it is’.


You embrace it rather than ignoring it.



Rather than subtracting,

it works for me to add

just slightly, using a very small amount of money.


And so I did.

Purchased: 2 kilim like pillows in dull red   $7.99 each

Try it- it works.
