House Tour: Living Room



We love the living room. It is the prettiest room in the house, with shiny wood floors and this gorgeous built-in bookshelf (original to the house, which was built in 1895). We no longer have a TV in our house due to the living room's beauty. A TV just did not fit in, so ours in sitting in the garage. We've canceled our cable. (Instead we have been watching reruns of Arrested Development on hulu.)





The rocking chair was Dean's great-grandmother's. We just bought the coffee table from an antique furniture store in our neighborhood. And the couch is from Ikea.

It is beautiful. I love the built-ins. We talked about doing that with ours, but since there's no wood frame around the fireplace, it just wasn't going to work. We had the same conundrum about the TV but found a way to hide it.

I love, love, love the house!! It is beautiful! I especially love the painted window above the sofa and Amelia's toy box.
