The Art of Furniture Placement

We're in a state of 80% un-packed-ness. A primary factor halting our progress is my indecision about furniture placement. Also that going home and watching America's Top Model is more interesting than figuring out where a bookcase goes. Especially now that I do have a couch and coffee table assembled to settle into.

I'm thinking of inviting my friends over for a Furniture Placement Clinic. I enjoyed it very much when my college friends called me over to their dorm room to arrange furniture. But that was so easy: three pieces of furniture - bed, desk, and chair. And a very small space too.

At the top of the invite list, the neighbors who hosted a party where the cocktail napkins read, "By the looks of it, your home could use a homo." Indeed.

I do love my new circular dining room table though. It was just a little annoying that West Elm relies upon UPS to deliver its furniture, who showed up at 5:30 after I'd taken the day to work from home to wait A L L D A Y for them. When I called to inquire on the whereabouts of my driver, the operator readily shared that I could just pick up the boxes myself at their shipping center. Yeah right, like I'm going to lift and fit a 71 lb box with a 4 foot diameter into my sedan. Thanks, lady, but where's your driver??!!!
And why does a new table wobble?
