Sitting Room

Ok, so I'll do it one room at a time - that's about all I can keep clean (insert embarrassed face here).

The first room of the house that greets you as you come in the front door is the sitting room to the left.

The main purpose to this room is for guests when they pop over, so it is clean, comfortable and toy free.

We found the lounge suite at Harvey Norman's and loved it because the huge ottoman is actually a sofa bed (lid comes off and out folds the frame and base) which we thought may come in handy considering we don't have a dedicated "guest room". Now all I need to complete this room is a square chocolate coloured coffee/lamp table to either go in the corner near the window or where the lamp is at the moment. I also wouldn't mind getting a large free-standing screen, so that if ever there were guests staying they could shut the room off cos there are no doors.

Please note the big print on the wall on the right (which faces the street) - this is our first 'hole in the wall'. After renting for 5 years we sort of got used to the fact that we couldn't put up pictures and photos... so much so that this is the one and only picture hanging in our house. I do have plans for more though... I have even bought them, but some need framing... and we need to decide where/how they will hang - rooms, heights, frame style, etc.

More to come soon.
