Stewie Livingroom...

Hey everyone - long time no post.. My shoulder has been acting up again which makes sitting at the computer not too much fun.

A few people have commented about not seeing more of the house so I thought I would post some pics of the living room tonite.

This first picture shows the fireplace on - it is a gas fireplace but instead of logs in it - it has pieces of coal. Makes it look quite old fashioned. We like it very much.

The sign above the mantel says "Keep it Simple". I bought it this summer and decided it was going to be our new motto on the island. Every morning when I come downstairs and turn the corner into the living room I get a smile on my face.

All my work to find those green tiles really paid off. And the way the builder build the whole fireplace surround it makes the fireplace look much taller which is another feature that reminds me of older homes. It really just draws you in.

This picture shows you most of the fireplace wall - with the little windows on each side and the shelves. You can see some of our furniture here. I was so worried when we ordered the couch that the color wouldn't be right - and when it was delivered I was so pleased. It fits just perfect. The chair on the left side is really nice but it takes bad pictures. It looks purple but really it is a shade of brown but the fabric just looks purple in pictures for some reason.

Here is a picture of our big recliners - this style was very popular in the bungalow houses - they were called Morris Chairs. They frames of the original ones were all oak and lovely but very expensive to have made or buy now. They are chocolate brown leather. Pretty comfortable too.

This picture is looking thru the middle of the dining room at the french doors leading to Tim's den (the man room). hahaha
This picture shows the wall opposite the fireplace and looking into the front entrance.

Happy Easter to everyone. Will try to post sooner next time.
