Living Room Before and After

The living room is, for the present, done.  It does need a new coat of paint, but that can happen later.  For now, all the decorating is in place. 

The "before" pictures are all from John's tour of the house.  A lot of it looks the same, since it's the same furniture and hasn't been painted!  But I hope you enjoy browsing, anyway.

View from the balcony upstairs, before.  Note the big vase of grass on the mantel.

 . . . and after.  Hmm, not a very good shot.

[I asked John if he wanted his feet to be down for the picture, but he didn't mind.]

A few more pictures to close with:

In the interim, while John was living in the house before we were married, his TV was mounted above the fireplace.

And the DVD player, DVD's, etc. were all stacked on top of this cabinet.  John made it a project to move the TV and install an outlet and all the electronics in the cupboards, and I like it so much better!
