I thought that doing some posts showing our new home would be some serious motivation to get it done!! You know the saying about the best way to get a clean house is to throw a party
....at least that's what I always say!
the front door/entryway
I'm planning some *mis-treatments* for my oh-so-bare windows soon
I love that my friend/decorator/helper Ashley talked me into using my antique drop-leaf table as an end table. I think it turned out great in that spot!
I also love that we decided to put the coffee table in the middle of the not-so-big room. It makes it cozy and pulls it together.
I {heart} this chair...I just wish there was room for its matching ottoman, too.
looking back toward the entryway
the love seat on the *short* wall, looking into the dining area
Aren't these baskets cute as an end table
(I only have one *true* end table, so I have to be creative!).
And see that lamp? It used to be an ugly bright brass. I got Vince to spray paint it black--
now I love it!!
Can you tell that we love, love, love to read?! And I still have boxes of books that I didn't have room for here. I need more bookcases!!! Below are some detail shots from the bookcases:
a small cork carving from Hong Kong
(Just as soon as I make more of those pesky boxes disappear!!)
