A Work In Progress

This is my living room - a work in progress. I cleaned out the fireplace today and got it all ready to go. Then my neighbor Sue is getting a new coffee table and gave me the one she had. I think it looks nice where I put it. My living room is a comfortable place to hang out in - I can read comfortably on the couch, books or magazines, kick back and prop my feet up on the coffee table, enjoy a good fire or watch something on television. I've also got my stereo set up in the living room, so I can also hear some tunes if I want. Today I put in a Ramones cd and cranked it up while I was polishing my new coffee table.

I'm ready for Winter this year!

The area above the fireplace was decorated by my Mom and I've not had time to redo it yet. She liked Southwestern items and that's what the theme for this area is. You can see 2 official Daisy Red Ryder BB guns, like in the movie "The Christmas Story." Just above the rifles is a authentic photograph of John Wayne, the great cowboy actor, I bought for my Mom at an antique store. I'm thinking about buying new drapes for the room as well.
