qosMonths ago, I promised photographs of The New Place.
Here they are!
The entry hall. All those pictures on the floor need to be framed and hung. The door barely visible on the right is the guest bathroom.
Come through the entry, turn to the left, and there's the kitchen.
On the other side of the divider is the "dining room" -- which is currently primarily my office space, and where I just set up the treadmill. I'm getting a desk for my bedroom, so I can get my computer and papers off the table, but it hasn't been delivered yet.
The living room, featuring the purple comfy couch.
The built in bookshelves and the entry hall -- and all the stuff I took off the coffee table and didn't realize would be visible on the floor in this photo. I'll clean it up when I'm done posting. (Really!!)
On the coffee table: the altar I put together for a blot for Freyja this morning.
The queen's bed.
Window overlooking the pool, bookshelves, altar, doorway to private bathroom and walk-in closet.
Bathroom door and bureau -- which matches the bedframe beautifully, even though they weren't bought at the same time.
This doesn't show the upper hall with the built-in desk (too dark and not enough air to be a good workspace), my daughter's room and her bathroom.
It's not all that big, but it's full of light, and so comfortable.

I have three different libraries: the A books in my bedroom, the B books in the living room which are books I like that are great as conversation starters, and the C books which are on bookshelves in my double-length garage.

Date: 2007-10-03 03:33 am (UTC)Yes, it definitely is my space.
I've collected the furniture slowly. I've "settled for" so much where furniture was concerned, that a couple of years ago I promised myself I'd only buy what I really loved. I'd do with what I had until then, but no more futon couches or Target desks just because they were cheap.

The crocheted item is a prayer shawl which
The statues on the bestand are an Isis candleholder and a statue of Magdalene carrying her jar. There's a blank spot to one side of Isis where Freyja usually sits, but she was down on the coffee table for the blot when I took the photo.
