Too Much Furniture!

Our house is super cramped and walking around can become the most irritating part of the day. You end up weaving and moving things out of the way all the time. It always looks really cluttered because we have way too much furniture. It seems that there's a tendency to always cover each wall with furniture as if the wall shouldn't be showing at all. On top of that the stuff we have is too big for the scale of the rooms. The frustrating part is that most of it belongs to my mom and she won't do anything but complain how the house isn't how she wants it, she won't part with anything. After the 10 years or so that we've lived in this house she still forces up to sit in rooms that aren't comfortable thinking that that's the way it "should" be not how things actually are. Then she'll get mad when things get worn or ruined. Go figure. I would LOVE to get a TV show in here to makeover the house and help us get furniture that looks great and functions for us. I love the rooms I've seen done with contemporary sofas and modern accents. You'd laugh if you saw what we have now, it's TOTALLY opposite...and a little scary. LOL
