Virtual tour: foyer and living room

One of the frustrating things about getting settled in a new house is how lots of things wind up ALMOST done but getting any one room all the way done seems nearly impossible. We did the impossible last weekend and put the finishing touches on the foyer and living room. Wanna see? Walk this way . . .

You enter our home through a vestibule, really kind of a walk-through coat closet. We put up a quote that seems pertinent both to Kansas and to Army life in general:



Enter through the front door and turn right at the quote, and you will go through yet another door and find yourself standing in our freakishly large foyer:







And here is the living room:







I'm hoping to get the rest of the main floor done by Thanksgiving (except for the kitchen curtains, as my sewing machine needs to go into the shop for some work).

Very nice! Can't wait to see it in person.

You've done a great job downstairs; congratulations! When do we get a look at the upstairs?

Is that gray thingy an ottoman with storage? You may remember that I used to have a round one that I eventually put a skirt on when it became too unsightly from wear and tear. Love, Grandma

Bonnie, your house is beautiful! And what living room is complete without a white kitty!?

Thanks, everybody! Now I need some visitors to admire it in person!

Grandma, yeah, it's an ottoman, but it's actually a white and light green check pattern. It's so hard to get colors to look true on photos. If I use flash, it washes out and without flash, it gets kind of muddy.
