Every few weeks my partner will come home and be like, “wait, wasn’t the blue chair in that corner?” and “why didn’t you wait to come home so I could help you move the couch?” Finally, for my birthday one year he got me a mini collapsible furniture dolly, haha!

Love the name, “fakeover”. Most of my things are thrifted or found and I continually rearrange. It’s a hobby and my favorite thing to do. I’m “older” now lol & I’ll continue fakeovers as long as I’m able. Btw, I get lots of compliments on my 450sq. ft. space!

I still love a fakeover/micro rearrange/futz, in part because I love fresh starts (new year, birthday, first day of school, etc.) and because I crave order but am not always so great at maintaining it. My mom would rearrange often as I was growing up, I think in part because we were making do with the things we had and they didn’t *quite* work for the space, or she’d acquire something new and realize the entire space needed adjusting. I’d move things around in my own room (usually when it really only needed tidying), moving things before cleaning and the excitement of a new setup would get me pumped to clean up (except there were always a couple paper bags of “I’ll deal with this later” stuff).

I am currently about a month away from moving to a new house a couple states away and have already packed my trays and mementos. It has me so over my current home and eager to get unpacked at the new one so I can move things a dozen times as we’re getting settled in. I’m also really excited to unpack a pear print I bought myself to remind me of Catherine Newman’s wonderful home tour!!

Reading comments about readers rearranging with/for their children or parents has me hoping that my 6 month old will enjoy fakeovers as much as I do. Lucky for me I think it’s in her genes. :)

So we cannot move anything, ever. But I do switch out pillows, throws on the sofa and chairs, as well as the linens for dining and in the kitchen. I try to keep fresh flowers on a few surfaces that Molly won’t bump and I choose seasonal colours, textures. She always notices them, so we hold the container down to her so she can get a good sniff. Her tail never stops wagging for this.
