Foodie Chickie

It is week two of Bloggy Parade of Homes 2006. Shannon asked us to take photos of our living rooms/family rooms. I only have one living room. I don't know if that is because I live in an apartment or not. Although I think some rich individuals who do live in apartments in Manhattan do have a formal living room and a family room. Most houses I have seen in Queens do not come with both. But don't know that to be true for all the houses in New York city or state. Anyway below are pics of my living room. The hallway leading to it is a medium brown color. Milk chocolate I would call it. And the living room is a pale yellow. There is an AC in every room but the living/dining room because it was too big of space to keep cool so now it's just a nook. I like it. I think I overdid it with the photos. I wanted to show the little nooks and crannies. Have a good weekend everybody! Loving this new Autumn like weather!


This is the light right above the hallway that leads to the living room. It's Ikea. There was another light there before but it broke.


We hung posters and photos. To the left is the door to my craft room.


The first poster is of Niel and me in Victoria, B.C. We went to a shop where you can get dressed in different era photos. We were from the Wild West. Next to it is a poster of the Napolean Dynamite movie. Gosh!


This is a Cracker Jack poster Niel thought was cool and purchased. Mmm Cracker Jacks.


This is another poster Niel liked and I got for him.


Photos of Niel with his friends.


Photographers that we got from Squilky.


You can buy them here.


The love seat used to face the front but now sits in the back of the living room.


The door to Niel's "man room". Ooooooh. And a topiary.


A little nook we have of our wedding stuff. Pictures of of our wedding day, when Niel proposed and my bouqet dried.


Our entertainment center. We have photos of friends and family. Also trinkets.


A painting by Niel's brother. The other painting hung in my grandmother's and great granmother's houses for 80 years.


This photo we got at a photo booth and it sketched us. Part of our surround sound.


A picture Niel got for me a few Christmases ago. I like Klimt.


Two neat paintings we combined into one that we brought in Seattle.
