So, can I have the gliders? Just kidding.
I love your new home and I am so happy for you!

We have similar clocks on our fireplaces. I love your multi-pane windows! Maybe you shouldn't be too quick to get rid of the gliders. They look so comfortable.

Since the above picture was taken I simplified the arrangement on the mantle, and added the stained glass screen given to me for Christmas:

I love antiques best, but one of the next best things is Broyhill's Attic Heirlooms collection:

Still the living room, next to the front door. The photo (of a barn interior) was taken by a friend of mine. I wrote a poem to go with it, and we exhibited both at a local university.

The new place looks great Hayjud! Alisande - Yours looks like a lovely spot to curl up and read a good book.

Here's mine.

I would curl up in yours, too, Lydia. Aren't we all lucky to have fireplaces!

I agree, I wish I had a fireplace! You gals are lucky!

They are all beautiful rooms!

A fireplace has been a life-long dream of mine!
I would be so comfy in both of your rooms.

I love antiques too, as long as they are useful.

We will keep the gliders, infact one will be going across the room (next to patio door.) They are OK but they squeek when they glide. We got some graffite to fix the noise but haven't made the mess with it yet.

Lacking heatilators, the old-style fireplaces sucked more heat from the room up the chimney by convection than they put out into the room.

Gas fireplace, no chimney ... no problem.

Old uncle had a wood stove in the rec. room (still there), a later addition ... which was a good thing, for the furnace doesn't serve that room.

I hope that you can find all of the hot air that you need (in season) ... at as low cost as possible.

ole joyful

Joyfulguy, you are a party pooper!

That said, I emailed my son a little while ago to suggest that we get the woodstove ready for use this winter. No way do I want to burn it the way we used to, but a small fire during the day would be cozy and save me some money on my oil bill.

I'll second the party pooper motion. All in favor, say AYE.
Sorry, OJ, the AYEs have it.

All of the rooms so far look quite cozy. But shhhhhh. I heard Ron is looking for a place to sleep...something about that PlantID thread. *wink*

I need to take some pics of my great room. Haven't done that in awhile. I'll wait until I go this weekend and HOPEFULLY buy a new sofa. My old one is coming into my office.

:-)

This is what you see when you enter our front door, the living room is immediately to the left, kitchen to the right. What you're looking at right now is my office and library. It will be transformed into a formal dining room (which is what the builder sold it as) in the next few months when my son moves out and his bedroom becomes my office and library.

Looking to the left of our living room ... the new sofa, loveseat and chair. We now need new carpet and lamps.

Can I add to the living room post even though it's a few days old?

Here's my new living room in my tiny apartment... remember my furniture looks a lot like yours Jodi? Please ignore the price tags and vacuum cord.

I missed this thread Monday! Here is my living room. I also have a family room with a tv where we do most of our "living". We use the living room a lot at Christmas and when we have comapny. Excuse the poinsettias, these pics were taken in January, but the room has not changed.

Looking in from the hallway:

Another view from that spot:

Standing with my back to the window:

Standing in the corner by the fireplace (it's an electric fireplace):

Oops I missed this too!

Here's mine before I painted (it was red and I didn't like it), after priming and now that it's done. I love it! Blue is my favourite colour.

Before with beige Berber carpet. DH put in the fireplace too after the '89 earthquake.

After DH put in the hardwood floor. Can't tell but the walls are a darker beige color.

I don't know how I missed this living room post. Don't know if I should do my living room, or my "live-in" room. Here is the "stuff we can't live without-room".

I missed this one too, but was to lazy to go and take pictures yesterday afternoon.

I did this morning, of the WHOLE rest of the house.

Here's the living room from the hallway:

this if from the folding door area:

and from the front door hallway:

I mentioned in the Kitchen post that despite having a bar that seats 5 and a dining room table that seats 8, DH and I eat somewhere else. That place is at this table (inexpensive pedestal table and 4 chairs done in black) that sits in one end of our living room. I was inspired to buy it after seeing the chairs alisande bought recently.

I'm finally ready to play catch-up! Our living room always looks washed out in pics. Oh, and see that little TV? It's from the kitchen because the 42" flat screen we won on the 16th has a faulty power switch that hasn't been fixed yet. And, we gave our living room TV to DD :-(

Leslie/KS

Very pretty, Leslie!

Here are some old pics of the livingroom, looks about the same only we moved the couch and love seat around recently:

I missed this too. Sorry, but here goes trying to post multiple pictures.http://s195.photobucket.com/albums/z101/mad_about_mickey_album/?action=view&current=P1010096.jpg
