Living Room

November 24th, 2010


Since I’ve only shown glimpses of each room (here, here and here), I figured I’d share a few photographs of my not-quite-finished living room.  There’s still no art on the walls and I’ve yet to find the perfect pillows and blankets, but I can say with certainty that it now feels like home.  It’s cozy and comfortable, with a full bar, a large TV and plenty of places to sit.  Plus, there’s something about the exposed beams, fireplace and bookshelf that feels like an old study, which balances out my overly girly office quite nicely.
