Horrible Life - you have a pm.
When I moved to my new home last year I vowed to keep the entry and living room tidy. I wanted to create a warm and inviting room so that *I* would feel comforted when I walked into my home. (Think favorite corner in a special resort.) I have a nice open entry way and put an antique cabinet from my grandpa there. (OK there *is* a little bit of clutter on the cabinet - but not too much). After the tile entryway, you can either go up the stairs (on the right) to the bedrooms or straight ahead to the living room - one step down. The living room has a large comfy sage green sectional couch with a chenille throw on it. A glass coctail table with a few candles on it is in front of the couch. There are also two books that I am reading set on the table. There's a fireplace that I haven't used yet.
My TV and stero equipment are enclosed in an armoir so that they don't become the prime or competing focus.
There is a large picture window in my living room and sliding glass doors in the adjacent dining room. The view outside is of a captivating mountain across from the golfcourse that is my backyard. I have a small patio that still needs help. All that's out there is a new table and chairs and an outdoor gas heater so I can sit with outside nearly year-round.
My pictures are not hung up yet and I'm not sure if they will be. I think I want new things to hang on the walls and currently have no money.
I have two bedrooms (both have private bath attached) and the spare one will be turned into a 'Spa Room' at some point. It is very sunny with a great view of the mountain. (It's where I keep my computer and office stuff) This room is great for visiting guests.
There is always food in my fridge and a variety of beverages so I am ready for company in a flash. Just tell me when you are about 30 minutes away and I'll be ready...!!!
-Aude.
