We were in need of something big enough
We walked through the house we were able to find
And the only reason it was still in the house was because,
We brought it upstairs and placed it on it's SIDE!
My friend could not believe we were really going to use it sideways ---
But look how great it works.
AFTER
Along with the TV cabinet and the accessories it gives enough weight to that side of the room. The room is now more balanced.
We moved the couch at an angle and squared up the two chairs around it. We also moved the cedar chest behind the couch as a sofa table.
The Room definatly feels COZY!
As you look at the bookshelf and imagine it turned upright there is a little cut out shelf that was made just to put a clock radio on.
How fun that we could repurpose this piece that no one wanted in their room and make it a major focal point in the family room.
Look around your house and consider using something differently that it was intended ---
It really gets your creative juices flowing!

Turning the bookcase onto its side is genius!! The items on the shelves fit perfectly. I really like the tall white vase with the greenery.
