What are we going to do about that big brown post? Joel thinks we should paint it the wall color (antique white) but I don't know. Borrowed the two high directors chairs from my studio for the bar area... much more comfortable than the $17 stools from Ikea. I'll get new seat covers for them since these are covered with paint. The Living Room furniture are mostly from a big 75% off Pier One sale... made out like a bandit at garage sale prices.
The rug is from another steal... Joe's place in Little Rock. They're holding up really well and look good with the other bargains. Note our old chess table and chairs... also good for puzzles. The sculptured coffee table was brought out of storage, glad to be used again. Another source for unexpected bargains is the local Salvation Army Thrift Store, especially lots of wicker baskets which get painted to go with 'the decor'. This is fun, mostly because it's the looking ahead to when it can be a gathering place to be enjoyed by family and friends... and bargain basement shopping is always a good time!

Karen,
The house looks wonderful. How about 4 KJ long thin paintings, attached to the post?? Maybe painted on thin panels of luan???

Absolutely stunning - wish I could live in a house like that someday. There was so much light and space.
