living

Using a dresser missing the drawers and old
table top that I had picked up on an auction. I
built this mahogany record cabinet for this
old portable hand crank phonograph. But
when you open the doors you find the TV
and VCR is hid inside.

This is where my brother with downs
syndrome sit and some of his stuff. He loves
NASCAR and I need to let him keep those
things. So I have bought this old bookcase for
him to keep his stuff in.

I love this old Chandler print or stream and
cottage one of many old prints in the house.

I located this large Victorian era style
settee on a local auction and was lucky to
get it. I have got old style wallpaper for the room and
burgundy curtains for the windows. I will be putting
up a turn of century style ceiling fan.

I have been adding some Gone With the
Wind lamps this year. I found a set of
gold chairs at a local flea market and felt
like that they go nicely with the sofa.

The doorway here leads to the parlor and
has pocket doors. That could be closed
when company came.

The Morris chair I restored and use it. I
will keep the old brass lamp. I will move
the kitchen clock to the kitchen when I
remodel it back to how it looked in 1904

The doorway leading from the dining
room to the living room. I hope to find
some tassels to make a doorway
portiere. I am lucky to have the great
stick and ball fretwork in this doorway

An old picture of how the living room
looked before I started to restore it
back to how it looked 100 years ago.
