That definitely counts as room flipping in my book!

We’re hoping to eventually move to a smaller place, too, Barbara. A condo in the city would be very nice, because both the older kids are planning to go to university there. I can see why you wouldn’t want to move a machine shop!

We’ve been decluttering like crazy, Dawn. Although one problem we’ve discovered is that what’s junk to me is treasure to my husband and vice versa!

Does turning your garage into a man cave to watch sports count as room flipping?? We have to sacrifice parking outside but we have pretty good weather most of the year. .-= Blue Willow China´s last undefined ..If you register your site for free at =-.

My parents moved every year or two their entire married life and I got so sick of moving that I just wanted routine. I’ve lived in this house for 15 years now and all I do is move furniture around in the living and dining rooms. The dining room isn’t really a dining room but that’s another story. Moving must be in my blood though – I’ve been ready to move into a smaller, one-story house for several years now, but can’t do it until we sell Dave’s business. I absolutely refuse to move that machine shop again!

What a great idea, and it certainly beats moving to get the desired effect! I’ve never done this, but have a friend who did flip her living room and dining room because she entertained a lot and wanted the larger room for dining. All worked out nicely!

Okay — I’m officially dizzy! The most we’ve done is turn bedrooms into offices.

One of the things we do for Sunday entertainment is go around to open houses (only those for $1 million or more, of course!) :--) Anyway, one we saw once would be perfect for Ward. It was almost all JUST the kitchen and sitting room. The kitchen was a huge open space bordered by a semicircular granite counter that seated maybe 12, and behind that was this huge sitting room. Then off to the side like with spokes on a hub were paths to some bedrooms. Clearly the house was meant for culinary entertainment!!! .-= rhapsodyinbooks´s last blog ..Review of “A Dog At Sea” by J.

We haven’t done much room flipping. We used to move a lot with the Navy, though, so I know how it’s kind of fun to mix things up! Another advantage to moving: it encourages you to go through your stuff and get rid of things you no longer want/need.

Enjoy your room flipping!

I move furniture around all the time, too, but that’s more a matter of course. I also find deep joy in repurposing furniture But there’s nothing more exciting then turning a room into another, totally different room altogether!
