Oh Look at that Kitty.... on the Piano???

Yesterday I started taking down the Christmas decorations. (It takes a while in our house, since I have to sneak the ornaments into boxes with the toddler is in another room.) Partway through I took a break to eat dinner, and when I came back, I saw the lovely scene above.
Notice anything strange?

How about now?

Oh, she looks soooooo pleased with herself!
But she did make me realize something. I do want to get this room finally all the way done, rather than just got the furniture in place done. It's the first room you see when you come into my house, and it's also the room that stays the cleanest because it doesn't get abused used as much each day. So it's a perfect choice to have a pretty room that is always ready for a picture.
Which I need.
Because, people, I may be ambitious, but I can't deep clean a room before I take a photo around here.
Enter the "Picture Perfect" challenge that Donna from Funky Junk Interiors is throwing. What perfect timing!
At any rate, I want to get this room to that picture perfect state. I probably won't get it all done this month because I am also working on other rooms, too (I like to jump around), but I'll make a dent in it and that's what counts. (So I tell myself, anyway.)
So -- I have a plan. So far my plan has two steps:
Step 1: Evict cat from piano.
Step 2: Finish taking down decorations.
Once I get that far, I'll take some more whole room shots so you can see what I'm up to!
Woo hoo!

I am a little in love with your piano, Angela! What an unusual finish! Love the kitty perched on the piano, too.

So funny! Your kitty placed herself in such a decorative way! We had a cat who used to walk up and down the piano keys - in the middle of the night! Can't wait to see what you have planned for your living room.

The cat really adds to the total picture. That is one tough kitty. I can't imagine sitting on prickly evergreen branches pant-less.

The piano looks beautiful, especially with the kitty on it. Beautiful kitty...hiding from the toddler?
Always look forward to seeing what you're doing on here!
