nothing i like more friday - space

the first set up of my living room was to confine baby while i worked on homework. since that doesn't work anymore and today he started to cry when i went to sit on the couch, i thought it was time to switch it up. all the furniture is now located on the outside walls instead of in the center cutting up the room. the room feels 75% bigger. i love it. and i think it is more inviting than before.

before:
(the best picture i could find - the arcadia doors are to the right and the bookshelves are along the wall behind the sofa)

after:

any thoughts?
