Living Room

Come on in and stay for awhile! Let me show you around.....

When we bought the home, the entire house was painted white except for one bedroom. (turquoise) It was actually a nice thing that the walls were white because it made it easy to paint the colors of our choice. The living room has vertical blinds over the windows....we kept those. We like the clean and neat look. Did you notice the light fixture in the front hallway? There were TWO of those in the house. The other one is in the hallway near the bathroom. Benjamin replaced the front light fixture with a more modern/sleek one.
Some friends of ours helped us paint. Benjamin and I knew nothing about painting, so they were kind enough to show us the ropes. I think we got the hang of it.....just the basics, nothing fancy. The one wall of the living room is brick red, the other 3 are a golden yellow.
I find myself stopping and just enjoying the house. It feels like home. I was nervous about that part. How will you call something home that you saw a total stranger calling the same house, home? It is such a luxury to have a home of our own. I didn't realize how peaceful and private it would be.
