patty, you've hinted at another problem of "putting things away." It's partly the "out of sight, out of mind" aspect so you don't remember you own it and end up buying it again. In other all-too-often-instances, it's a matter of trying to remember where you put something next time you need it. But things that are out all of the time can become invisible in their own way, mixed in with lots of stuff in plain sight.

The front room is pretty full, moving stuff back in there would make it more full, but still workable. There's a table that can hold the photo cube, the biggest obstacle in the den.

I've come to realize that moving the glider to the front porch makes the side doorway better to enter, but the dog who always used to sleep on the thing has taken to sleeping on the rug at my feet under my office desk. I'm always banging into her. I'm going to have to relocate one of the dog beds over to that spot (it won't take up near the space the loveseat sized porch swing did.)
