Farmhouse Tour Part IV—Living Room

(Note: These photos were taken before we moved in as the house was with my Grandpa's furniture still in it.)

^ This is looking into the living room from the dining area.

^ Looking from the living room into the hallway back into the bedrooms. My grandma always had a fish tank on this shelf, which was made by my uncle Raymond. Pretty cool—except we are took it out to open up the room and make the layout work better with our furniture. (We kept it, R & K, if you are interested in having it!)

^ The painting on the wall was done by my Grandma. She painted quite a bit, along with her photography and other hobbies. I remember her working on this one.

^ The carpet in this room is pretty cool. My Great-Grandma had the exact same carpet in her house. I'm told that was an accident! Anyway, it's lasted for years and is probably in the best shape of any of the carpet in the house.

^ Pretty sweet furniture, yeah?

Tomorrow—wait for it—the bathroom and laundry room! I bet you can't wait! :)

I'm loving all these pics of the house. You are going to have so much fun decorating. Some of he older furniture is rockin! I want that buffet.

I was able to keep a few old pieces of furniture when we had our family auction. The buffet is screwed into the wall so we get to keep that too! I may stain it a little darker but don't mind it as is. I want to paint the back of the shelves a color or put wallpaper behind them. Probably put new hardware on it too.

Wish you were here to help me shop and pick things out! You'll have to help me virtually.

I seriously can't wait for the rest :) My memory is returning with the help of the photos. I'm like Lori - in my mind it's all still very stylish and savvy!

Oh, come on. Someay Lane rockers are going to become desirable retro pieces of furniture, don't you think? :)
