Have you heard of Gliffy? I hadn’t until just about a year ago. And, let me tell you…it changed the way I rearrange my furniture. It changed the way we moved in to our house.
Intrigued?
Gliffy is a free program online. It’s basically draft paper that you can draw your house plans into. They have graphics for furniture, walls, windows, etc. So you can virtually rearrange things before you do any heavy lifting. Because we’ve all be there before…you think it’ll fit just perfectly…only to heave-ho and learn that the dresser is just an inch wider than the nook you had in mind.
Bummer.
Ever since our very first move Derek and I have kept a careful log of the dimensions of our furniture. That way when we arrived at our new home we could measure our rooms and decide where things would fit. When the movers showed up we’d be ready with a plan.
Gliffy takes that awesome logic a step further. It’s all saved on your computer. Well, the Internet. So it’s never at risk of being lost.
I haven’t visited my Gliffy worksheets for a long time. But all that is changing. My next type of separation therapy is on the horizon:
Destruction Therapy.
When we moved in we knew we wanted to renovate our second floor. Friends, it’s happening. May is a make-it-happen month. Hopefully by June things will look more like this: {Minus the fact that the guest room will still be there.} Still not 100% committed on where the new closet will be. The bottom line is that the wall will be gone and my furniture will fit more comfortably.
