Show Us Your Life: Living Rooms!

Kelly over at Kelly's Korner is hosting her Show Us Your Life house tour again.  I didn't have my own blog the last time she did this, so I'm excited to participate this time.


Our house is a split level, so each level is really only half the length of our house.  The living room and dining room are connected, and the living room has a sliding glass door that goes out to our screened-in porch and backyard. What I love about this level of our house is the light.  There are huge windows that let in so much light.  We rarely use lights in here during the day.  Without further ado, here is our living room:

A little friend decided to sneak into the picture!

From the top of the stairs

I love the red color of this accent wall.  The previous owners painted it, and we've kept it just how it is.  These pictures and sconces were the first new things I bought when we moved into our house 2 1/2 years ago.

Loveseat and side table

This bookshelf actually belongs to my sister, but we're housing it for her since her current apartment doesn't have enough space for it.  It's from the furniture store where my mom works, so I think when Amy wants it back, we'll have to get our own!  We just moved a t.v. out of this corner, so we moved the bookshelf down from our spare bedroom.  I really love it in this room!

I love this painting!  My friend Jody and her mom made it for us for our wedding.  It's the view of the river where we went to college.  They used paint, sand, sandpaper, and other materials to make it.  I love that it represents where we met and that it's a unique piece of art!

So, there it is...our living room!  

Thanks for visiting!
