Okay, let me see.......where did I file those pics of the pics.....duhhhh. Yaya, I will put my peabrain into gear and see what I can find. I did upload an album for the HouseMA, which means Massachusetts, which I'll link to below, but there are tons of IN PROCESS photos of the various rooms. But of the small parlor/living room, with that row of pics....which I love, BTW, for the subject matter as well as the frames.... I'll look for the best one and insert it HERE. Look for the albums about the Massachusetts Cape @ Webshots. I took the pictures with my digital camera the day we went to Mystic Seaport CT. It was in December, and the place was almost deserted, so there were no folks in the shots. As a boat captain, I knew of Mystic Seaport for many years, and I was in hog heaven being there. So the pictures meant a lot to me. The second image from the right is a bow shot of the whaling ship Charles W. Morgan, before it went on the ways/weighs to be restored/rebuilt. Fantastic and beautiful, a work of art. Then I saw the end of every bowsprit (pointy end of the ship) had a star carved into it and usually painted gold or sometimes blue. This is a tradition with old sailing vessels, a good luck sign, which meant "follow your lucky star," and I'd always, on every boat I worked on, painted a blue star (5 point) on the bow of the boat. It is a sailor tradition. I just love the traditions of the sea. Seeing one from the "old days" was awesome. That is why I love the last picture to the right. And, of course, I took some figurehead shots. You know of course the ancient mariners would strap a live virgin to the bow, as a sacrifice to the sea gods for their safe return. Eventually, they carved and painted wooden figureheads, not all female, as figureheads. I guess they ran out of virgins? If you have a chance to visit the Mystic Seaport, it is a real treat.

I am sure you paid a pretty penny for your chairs but they are too deep and wide for the space with a sofa and second one. Transportation into the space is really tight. Consider moving one chair to a bedroom. Beverly’s arrangement is best. I would also try the darker drop leaf table to left of fireplace and other table might work as small sofa table behind sofa facing fireplace. It is a cute house just needs some tweaking. Some nice art on walls above whatever tables you use will add interest and depth to your room. Nice space.

Honestly, don’t waste your time and money on this apartment. Anything you add will be on your $ and with 3 dogs and a temporary room mate, I wouldn’t invest in anything.

Layout: Sofa facing the FP, bench under the window and two chairs facing the window. Large rug Pretty light fixture Fireplace: There are so many options and so many styles. Help narrow down the list... what do you like? Rustic? Traditional? Modern? Boho? Neither? Tile? Stone? Marble? Brick? Wallpaper? Ship lap? I’m adding one photo of something I love!! It’s bold!! And certainly not for everyone but maybe it’ll inspire you
