The Living Room

Some of you have asked to see more of our new house so I thought I'd share some pictures.  I still have a lot to do but that's just part of the fun of a new house, isn't it?

 This is the living room.



It has beautiful woodwork and moldings -- even on the ceiling.  You can see some of the ceiling detail in the photos below.

 

The French Oak floors have inlaid detail around the perimeter of the room and a beautiful, hand-scraped finish.

 

The living room has a squared bay window in the front and two tall windows on another wall.  On sunny days the room has beautiful light, which is part of the reason I'm having a hard time choosing window coverings -- I really like all the light in the room and I don't want to cover the window casings.

I adore the paint color -- and I can be kind of finicky about paint.  Sometimes the color looks like milk chocolate and sometimes it looks gray.  It's a wonderful, ever-changing greyige color and it really looks pretty against the warm white woodwork.

I am still looking for ceiling fixtures and sconces for one of the walls you can't see in these pictures.  And I'm still trying to figure out those window treatments.  Any great ideas?
