This, is the view from our bedroom window. All of this hard work is starting to pay off!
And when you walk through our bedroom door it leads into the den, which I have decided just today that I'm going to call a parlour! I looked it up and a parlour is a room in a private house where people can sit and talk and relax. So parlour it is....Are you ready to tour the parlour?
Come along...
WHAT in theeeee.......
Dave is painting the wall black!
And here is why.....
Ok....let's start this tour again.....
Hold on...I'll clean the plastic covered painted windows first
(which took an entire evening as I listened to a book on cd)
Now, come on in...
(and this door is in our living/dining room which we are calling the great banquet hall)
and here is the parlour!
TAA DAH!
Dave bought the fireplace mantle from Craigs list. He bought it without me even being with him! And when I first looked at it, I couldn't stop staring, and touching, and wondering who touched it, and stared at it, and used it before me. If only it could talk! It came from an old Victorian home. I wonder what room it was in, in that home.
It is carved...
Here are the other walls....a couple of chairs....
and that rocker on the right is not "Just a rocker"
I'll explain another time....
And here is the door we entered through.
This is the last wall....which I love as much as the fireplace wall.
I love the shutters that look like an old southern home.
I love the full view door that looks out over this....
porch.
And I love the porch.
with this view.
So far, the parlour is one of my favorite rooms.
PS....
I'm thinking about this for the kitchen floor. It's luxury vinyl tile, which looks like an old wooden floor.
what do you think?
