The Lake ( Living Room)

This room is part of the first addition we built that we sectioned into a living room and a bedroom. We rarely use this room now as we seem to prefer the sun room. It is long and narrow and difficult to arrange furniture in to make a conversation grouping.

This blue chair is where I love to grab a cup of tea and a good book and curl up on winter evenings.



I prefer this room in the winter as there is a wood stove in one corner that we use to heat the house.

On the mantel above the stove I have a collection of cranberry hued ceramic ware.

On the wall across from the couch is an unpainted cabinet that houses the computer. Up until the last year we did not Internet access in this area so it was just to play games on.

On one side of the cabinet a teddy bear cuddles up in a hand appliqued baby quilt perched on a rusty old trunk.

On the other side sits a collection of patriotic Longaberger baskets.

Beside the computer cabinet is a long white shelf that my husband made. It hold some pretties and some of my quilts.

This is the wall you face when you walk into the room.

Beside the couch is a hand painted table that I found in the back of an old barn. It was so black I didn't realize it was green and had flowers until I brought it home and scrubbed it. Imagine my delight as I just bought because I like the shape.

Above the table is a small shelf and a cross stitched picture that my DIL made for me many years ago.

Just inside the door that enters from the sun room are pictures of all 10 of my grandchildren.

I hope you have enjoyed visiting my lake house as much as I have enjoyed sharing it with you. My purpose was to have pictures of this house as I thought we had sold it. At the last minute everything fell through. We had planned to buy a bigger house with more land so my husband could build a shop. We had already decided on another piece of property with an almost new mobile home and a garage and had an option on it. I know the Lord has a plan for us so I look forward to seeing what comes next.
