Little House On The Mountain - Part 4

So, our main room downstairs was the kitchen/living room combo.  A "Great Room," if you will, but that makes it sound too grand.  I wish I had a better before pic, but just think the kitchen, minus the cabinets, plus a window unit.

We closed up the existing doorway to bedroom that faced the front doorway without a door. 

We made the existing broom closet into the new doorway for the bedroom.

Move in day.  The view of the living room from the kitchen.

The view of the kitchen standing in front of the TV.

Candlelight makes everything better.

 I had this vintage map of my hometown framed at Hobby Lobby.

I bought these lamps at a flea market for $25 for the pair.

The floor heater is more inviting now.

Friends warming up the space.

This is more homey above the floor heater than the flyswatter.

Again, for about $150 (not including the cost of the wood floors), our living room went from "not fabulous" to warm & cozy.
