Virtual Tour of Our Condo: The Living Room

My parents came to visit us today. Their visit motivated me to do some of the cleaning and picture-hanging that I've been meaning to do for the past several weeks but never got around to doing.

Knowing that many of you have never been to our condo, or that those who visited when Jeff lived here with his brother may be curious as to how things have changed, I have decided to give you all a virtual tour of our home.

I'm planning to show you one or two rooms a week. Doing this in our blog will provide the motivation I need to keep working on finishing up our other rooms (for most of them, they're just lacking pictures on the walls).

(These pictures are going from right to left.) When you walk into our condo, you enter in the living room. To your right (behind the door) there is a short wall with a coat rack, then a short hallway leading to the rest of the condo, and the fireplace.

We decided to make the decor of the fireplace family-centered.

Next to the fireplace is the TV. This is actually what you see straight in front of you as you open the door to the condo.

Next to the TV there are some vertical blinds concealing the sliding door that leads to a small private porch (I didn't include a picture - it's small and rectangular and not very interesting to photograph). Occasionally we'll set up our hammock out there when the weather is pleasant. Unfortunately, the smoking of our neighbors prevents us from enjoying it most of the time.

On the short wall next to the porch doors there's a bookcase which holds our games, music, and Ensign magazines, the old AC wall unit that we don't use (we have central air), and Jeff's really nice digital piano.

Next to the piano, on the wall that has the door leading into the condo, is our couch (which faces the TV).

So there you go. Welcome to the beginning of the virtual tour of our condo. Tune in next week for: The Dining Room and The Kitchen (at least, that's the plan).
