when it's time to change you've got to rearrange...

Our mom is most certainly a woman of action.  She's been known to buy puppies on a whim and redo a room (or two) while my dad is gone for a quick weekend trip. When she gets an idea, it's pretty difficult to stop her.

When we were growing up, one of her favorite activities to do with us was rearrange our bedrooms.  I'm pretty sure I had my furniture arranged in every possible way multiple times and it wasn't until later in life that I realized not all of my friends regularly did this with their mom...

Needless to say, I quickly learned that rearranging is one of the fastest and cheapest ways to refresh a room.  It provides just enough stimulation to make a dull layout exciting again.

If you're feeling slightly bored this February, and are lusting after a new headboard from Pottery Barn (me), consider an afternoon rearranging session. It just might put enough pep in your step to avoid some wintertime spending...
