The one in which she ponders sacrilege.

miniature sun-room + Riley's hideout      

our 'vintage'  O'Keefe + Merrit stove  

house + side yard  

living room before we lived here* + my design delimma

The fireplace is huge.  No, huge.  I love it.  I hate, hate, hate the brass.  I also don't like that it has red brick on the bottom + white brick on the top.  Last, it has been stained messily.  So far, my research + time/money availabilities tell me that the best course of action is to paint the whole thing white for now.  And, I've got a cream for the walls.  Inspiration found here.  Thank-you, thisyounghouse.com!  Apparently, I can paint that brass door thingy?

So? Best case scenario?  Or, sacrilege?

so that's not our stuff. We would have liked 
to have that chair in the corner, though.
