Okay….so we buy one thing and then here comes the “domino effect.”
Then we find another great deal and I am finding myself
dancing to the beat of the “Furniture Shuffle”
However, I do not need to purchase anything to warrant the dance.
Just the need for a change. Change is always a good thing.
There are some changes in the Master Bedroom that caused the relocation of the bird cage.
Where oh where was I going to put it?
If I did this . . . then I would have to do that . . . and so it goes . . . and this is what happened.
I wanted to bring the birdcage back into the main living area
however there was no surface area available that I could place it on.
So I created one!
This chest was in the Master Bedroom in which I basically stored my table linens in it.
It had been in this very same spot a couple years ago and when I relocated my secretary
to make room for the Antique French Buffet, it went back to the bedroom.
I do have to thank my hubby for putting up with my moves on a whim
although, I must say, I did put a little thought into this.
Of course I needed to gather some items to coordinate with the bird cage
to bring a great summer look too.
The limited edition Audubon print (a gift from my sister) hung next to the front door.
I thought it would be perfect in its new home.
The ironstone chamber pot with a combination of a live plant and a faux topiary
came from the kitchen and on to the chest for added color and texture.
The cute ceramic bird basket is a recent find from HomeGoods (formerly located in the sunroom)
I created a new look by shopping the house and dancing to the furniture shuffle
with my dance partner.
It is great little space that has a great view beside it . . .
Also the view that I have when I am blogging and on my computer.
I am hoping my pansies will last a bit longer; however, Mother Nature may not allow that.
Our temps here are climbing . . . Oh Happy Summer!
Have a wonderful day!! Making your own kind of music and dancing to the song!

That looks so pretty Shirley. I really love the plants and bird basket too.
I wish I had your beautiful pieces to dance with, Shirley! The chest looks great there as does your vignette you styled on top! Your little dancing partner is so sweet, and I know he approves of your new change.
Sweet vignette, love the bird theme.
And your view…so pretty!
Blessings,
Cindy
Hi Shirley, SO glad I’m not the only one doing this dance!! Love the vignette you created with the bird cage. Love the sweet birdie basket too.
Have a wonderful weekend. CM
That is such a pretty vignette. Always good to do a little furniture shuffle.
That is such a beautiful piece and the birdcage is stunning too. Great vignette.
Love what you have put together! I always like your wood tones against the gold colored wall paint. Sheila
You do the furniture shuffle so well, Shirley! I think it’s fun to move things around – keeps everything fresh (plus it forces me to really clean lol). The little bird basket is the perfect accent for the birdcage, as is the print. It all looks lovely.
Good dance moves. And God bless Saint Thomas.
Love this bird vignette. Hoping to be able to go through some cartons of this and that and make a few little vignettes in June. We are getting close.:-)
I love dancing to the beat of the furniture shuffle. Love the vignette. fondly ~lynne~
I reeeally like this change, Shirley. The highboy chest works perfectly on that wall, and the gardeny vignette on top adds such a summery feel. I also like the idea of combining the faux and live greenery. Beautiful view…I’m having a hard time parting with my pansies too…maybe they’ll hang on another week.

Lovely Shirley 🙂 My hubby has to put up with my ideas too. I think the birdcage looks great where you have it now, and I like the white against the dark wood, so pretty and stunning!
Beautiful vignette!!! Love the birdcage on top of the chest….

I love, LOVE that bird cage. I wish I had a piece like that to stiore table linens, and I love it there!!! You created a beautiful vignette, love the bird basket too. You are a GREAT DANCER:):)
Please share the paint color in your room. I love this yellow. We have purchased a beach condo, and want to paint the majority of the rooms a beautiful yellow. Thank you for sharing.
oh, i am sure that dear hubby won’t mind dancing …and moving, with you!
Change is not always a good thing…..:) when I have to do the lifting….your Hubby!
Love the new shuffle looks good and I love the bird cage. I am always trying to shuffle pieces around, but have no hubby to do the lifting, soooooo it does not get done unless I can push it to where I want it to go. The view that you have while on your computer is great.
Love the bird cage – where did you find it at?
Have a wonderful summer weekend. My cousin is already complaining that its to darn hot, so I guess I will wait until September or Oct to go back to VA. As I can’t breath when it gets to got and humid.

Shirley, I just love it when the shuffle starts, it gives the house a new fresh feel. Enjoy your day. Jo
Love the furniture shuffle. I really like the vignette that you did.
I love combining the real ivy with the faux. It is fun watching all your furniture shuffles. My husband would not be so understanding 🙂
I just love birdcages Shirley, and this looks so summer pretty! Sometimes I think our sweet husbands have learned it’s easier to just do it and be done! Ha! Moving furniture around is almost as good as having something new to play with, makes everything look so fresh and different!
Your furniture shuffle was a good one, and everything looks fabulous together! Your home always looks like a showroom! Comfy, but beautiful:)
Oh Shirley, you know how I love birds. This is a great vignette! On closer inspection I realized that your Audubon print is of painted buntings, my favorite songbird! They are not seen often but where we live we are fortunate to have them every May through August. They are incredibly beautiful as is your decor!
Love the furniture shuffle! We have been doing that quite a lot in this new house trying to make things work! Love your birdhouse vignette. Really love that sweet bird basket!
I adore your shuffle. Pretty cage but the topiary makes me swoon.
Cindy
What a pretty new design with your delightful birdcage. A nice look for the start of summer.
Pretty vignette Shirley! You know I’m a bird fan, so I adore the pairing of your cage, sweet basket and Audubon print!
Your dresser looks perfect in that spot and the accessories are spot on.
Absolutely stunning, Shirley! Every detail!!!! Your bird inspired chest top is gorgeous!!! But I would expect no less from you! xo
That’s so pretty! It’s the perfect spot for the chest. Love that birdcage too…and you’ve displayed it beautifully! Hope you have a great weekend too! 😉
No matter where you shuffle things in your home it looks great……I love the birdcage vignette. Your sister gave you a beautiful bird print. I love the old prints.
Beautiful vignette! Oh I am so glad I am not alone in the furniture and decor shuffle. I did a little bit of it myself today!! I love birds so I really enjoyed the theme of your vignette!
Your furniture shuffle was a great success and it all looks beautiful Shirley! Hope you have a wonderful weekend my friend. 🙂
I like that. The ‘furniture shuffle’. I’m going to come up with a dance and if I get to Haven again someday we’ll put on a show with it. Remember ‘blurred lines’? lol We’ll show them youngins how it’s done.

Oh to have the space to do the furniture shuffle!! Love your vignette. Especially the bird picture!
Love it, it looks great – also love the recent Home Goods find with the sweet birds on it.

Everything looks so pretty, Shirley! You have the knack for creating the prettiest vignettes. Love your view, as well! I just pulled my pansies a couple of days ago. With all the rain we’ve had, they were droopy and starting to look straggly.
Everything looks fantastic as always…
