~A MINI House Tour For You!!!~

Good morning! Every time I come down my stairs I think to myself, "I love seeing this view", so I decided YOU might like to see it too! Plus soon I will be redoing alot with FALL decor soon so I better share this now. This is a little picture heavy so grab a cup of something:)<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMwDyovv065guq7XgEP4qTpUViZhbgjBOeXwmDY-qPP67QjttC6oGaSbVmbEAgcJopEMjt07q-zdVmNaWbn2gEfEEKzFVaMlW8FI2aEhL3RZmWzVHAjbSNLZRBQhX-Pq0rHYEA5QC638F4/s1600/IMG_1457.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMwDyovv065guq7XgEP4qTpUViZhbgjBOeXwmDY-qPP67QjttC6oGaSbVmbEAgcJopEMjt07q-zdVmNaWbn2gEfEEKzFVaMlW8FI2aEhL3RZmWzVHAjbSNLZRBQhX-Pq0rHYEA5QC638F4/s640/IMG_1457.JPG" width="480" /></a></div> This is my living room/great room right off the kitchen. The kitchen is to the right. Joe made the wooden valances for me and I asked him to make them deep enough so that I could display some things. We don't have as much space to display things in this house.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUvitbwHp53cF4IfN2dfExzf6WuTiziUL-Yi-c61w83KE5diOznSOnliRr9Tp64opi7cN6yp8IESAqnmHLuoMhAJUj4-uNvVHZ90StofiC3tqHelOAgyI3zhSw0C57LyaxfiCVU6xp2mq0/s1600/IMG_1456.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUvitbwHp53cF4IfN2dfExzf6WuTiziUL-Yi-c61w83KE5diOznSOnliRr9Tp64opi7cN6yp8IESAqnmHLuoMhAJUj4-uNvVHZ90StofiC3tqHelOAgyI3zhSw0C57LyaxfiCVU6xp2mq0/s640/IMG_1456.JPG" width="480" /></a></div> As you enter the room the fireplace is on the left.

Another thng I inherited. These pieces are priceless to me. I saw them for so many years in my in-laws homes so now treasure each one. The lamp is one of my favorites and found it in a shop at the beach several years ago. The Buyers Choice Asian Lady is a special order gift from a dear friend, Barbara.

~~~A MINI House Tour For You!!!~~~

Good morning! Every time I come down my stairs I think to myself, "I love seeing this view", so I decided YOU might like to see it...

07:09

~Let's Begin the Tour!!!~

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Welcome to our home and living room. This is where you enter the living room from the foyer. I will show you the foyer probably tomorrow. The credenza that you see has some of my favorite pieces on it! Come on in and have a seat!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqA36HzBoGarSljCvpSsb1scrEK0qoGtNyOTOadeajssRS7LlG-Qh7IUfVT9xMnbb2U5tK1vpZEe8YmvVa0xqEoYQEuoGg6Qu6d0l6X2H-YWH0a0JZtWK1r54B_2Hz9JWjn3Mkxniyn1a-/s1600/IMG_5903.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" s5="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqA36HzBoGarSljCvpSsb1scrEK0qoGtNyOTOadeajssRS7LlG-Qh7IUfVT9xMnbb2U5tK1vpZEe8YmvVa0xqEoYQEuoGg6Qu6d0l6X2H-YWH0a0JZtWK1r54B_2Hz9JWjn3Mkxniyn1a-/s320/IMG_5903.JPG" width="320" /></a></div> The sectional sofa is the best configuration for this room. There are 2 sofa tables behind the sofa and I will show you those pieces in a minute. The carved lamps are from India. My FIL bought them many years ago. As I told you he was a pilot and a SHOPPER and chose some beautiful things!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoj-lZMXhf42d82iuINTvNwlKqMYyqfYSiD0Rrhrzav0EW97gD85PPkeGqECWkejIeByglq5ttClxGvT5GM26EUm1nELSa50k9aPZku2iZhhUjRkJRGBPIAHPULoqQxX4cyBIGwzDBOlM7/s1600/IMG_5904.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" s5="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoj-lZMXhf42d82iuINTvNwlKqMYyqfYSiD0Rrhrzav0EW97gD85PPkeGqECWkejIeByglq5ttClxGvT5GM26EUm1nELSa50k9aPZku2iZhhUjRkJRGBPIAHPULoqQxX4cyBIGwzDBOlM7/s320/IMG_5904.JPG" width="320" /></a></div> Now we have our backs to the credenza looking toward the bar and the oriental screen from Japan.
