Living Room

Our front door looks like the Tardis from Doctor Who and it opens onto the living room which is a pretty good size.

Marvin and K9 are on guard here. I covered my couch in red. I made the afghan on the back of the couch.

I have a water fountain on one end table and the other has a wax fragrance heater. You put a cube of scented wax in the holder on top and a light bulb heats it up and releases the fragrance.  On one side I have a cat picture giving to me as a gift and on the other side are two black velvet pictures that my parents bought in Hawaii.

I made the afghan that is on the back of the chair and I used a blue throw to cover the ottoman. I love decorative pillows.

The coffee table is old enough to have developed that mellow color that I love. I have various decorations on it. I did the Oriental Songbird stitchery. I wanted an Oriental theme in the living room and felt the stitchery was perfect here.

I wanted this wall to be a combination of my Oriental decorations and the unicorn decorations.

My unicorn collection.

The arrangement was a gift to my parent's for their 35th wedding anniversary. I threw a surprise party for them and the theme was coral and jade. The Chinese doll is my favorite. I fell in love with her and had to get her. The porcelain doll is called the Dragon King's Daughter and of course I had to give her some Chinese dragons. The shelf below has Eastern and Middle Eastern decorations.

My Dad collected steins. The Tiger and Tiger and Dragon pictures are favorites of mine and the bamboo has that wonderful golden color that comes from age.

I combined my collection of animal figurines with my Mom's for this display area.

I realized I had a huge expanse of wall and one space theme picture of mine that was matted and framed so I pulled out every picture of mine that I had matted and turned this into a Space theme wall.

Both Mom and I collected music boxes. I figure dragons, hobo cats, and the Loch Ness Monster should be able to protect the entertainment center.

I use this wicker trunk to hold all my table linens.
