hello? is anyone still there...? HELP!

hi, friends! this will be a quick post, but i hope you'll give me some feedback nonetheless! as many of you know, i can't stand for the apartment to be arranged the same way for too long. i pretty much change it every few months, sometimes more. just ask my roomie. unfortunately, living in the same apartment for close to 4 years with all the same furniture can take its toll on the old creativity part of my brain. any variation in the arrangement i can dream up, i try!

and so needless to say, i've finally reached the point where i'm just plain stumped. i can't think of any new, interesting way to rearrange! i'm so sick of the furniture, but i'm not really at a place where i want to make any investments or at least my bank account isn't. and then there's my couch-well don't EVEN get me started. it is essentially the bane of my existence. the ugliest couch that ever lived. a big floral monstrosity, but not really this bad. now that being said, it is also the most comfortable couch you will ever rest your little behind on. so, for now, it stays.

take a gander at my estate & tell me what you think. how should i rearrange? what pieces should i switch up? i'm totally open to suggestions!

a few warnings before you take a look:

1. we'll consider these 'before' pictures which means that i did not stage or jazz anything up before the picture was taken. trust me, this will make the 'after' pictures look particularly fantastic for you
2. none of the furniture pictured is a purchase i've made myself. all hand-me-downs & proud of it!
3. yes, i realize it is the girliest, flowery-est little apartment ever. once again, not entirely what i would have chosen, but all FREE to me!
4. so basically, be nice with your input and don't rip on the furniture too hard! i still have to live with it no matter what you say!


there's a little panaromic view of the living area & here are some other pictures i've shot at different times so you can see close-ups of the furniture we're workin with:
*notice there are no close-ups of the couch. it simply doesn't deserve that kind of recognition






the one space i am semi pleased with is my bedroom...but i'm open for a switch-a-roo in there as well!

so there you have it! leave a comment or two & give me some ideas! i would love to get a fresh take on this stale, little space.

OH and i almost forgot. this club chair is up for auction! i've had it for almost 10 years, but honestly don't know if i've ever sat in it once! it is in great condition! it's covered in a durable pierre deux fabric and would be oh so cute in a little girl's room or if you're crafty and know how to recover, then you could take on a fun project! i'll even throw in the pillow :)
