I love my house: The family room

My mother-in-law reminded me that I have slacked off on my "I love my house" blogging series. She is right, and I hadn't even noticed. So I will try to incorporate it back into my blogging routine.

Because of the excessive pressure I received from Erin and Susan, I decided to do a quick video walk-through of the main level of my house. I made the video back in November. Unfortunately, I couldn't get it to post, so I put it off.

Now I've decided to try again. So here is another attempt to show you my family room and dining area. I hope these photos can give you a general idea.

I actually really love my house, so I am happy to show it off a little. I took a picture from each corner of the room. As you can see, I decided to paint the walls with the free yellow paint offered by the Army housing office. Believe me, it's much better than leaving it white:

That big white circle behind the love-seat is a fan. I know it's not pretty, but with no air conditioning, I want to be prepared for the summer heat (not that I have felt it yet. It's been cold and rainy for quite a while).

Also, if you look out the window, you can see TJ's raised sand box.

The wooden chair in the back corner is our makeshift piano bench (I guess it's actually a keyboard bench, but you get the idea). A regular chair is too low for the girls to comfortably practice. But this seems to work great.

Did you notice the REAL plant? (It's next to the bookshelf.) I know. You're surprised. A neighbor that is moving gave it to me. I have already had it for over 24 hours, and I haven't killed it. I think I'm off to a good start.

So that's it. I love my yellow living room. It isn't anything spectacular, but it's comfortable. Come visit, and you can see it first hand along with the rest of the house.
