The living room seems to be an on-going project. Things went wrong early on, when it somehow wound up with a dark red, green, and brown colour scheme. Totally not me. But it's looking better these days:
I brought the little white chair in from the porch -- it was nice out there, but I really like having it inside. I'm planning on using the leftover fabric from when I hemmed up the curtains to make a slipcover for the footstool. The two smaller pictures are from Sasek's This Is London; I scanned in my favourite pages and printed them out.
The big window. I'm not sure if you can see Beany on the bottom shelf there, but she usually sits up top, keeping an eye on the local wildlife outside. And yes, the television is actually on in this photo! My cold and jetlagginess sent me to bed pretty early last night, which meant I woke up very early this morning, so I've been watching cooking shows. Man, American celeb chefs are annoying, aren't they? So loud.
And the other window -- I just ironed and hemmed these curtains this morning. I wonder if this is a sign that I'm on the mend: I've not just been sitting in front of the television (=impossible); I've been hemming curtains, making rolls/buns from scratch, and mixing up some veggie sloppy joe filling for lunch. I am very busy and important, after all -- no time to be sick!
That's an extremely comfy-looking couch!

Everything in America is loud and annoying. That's why I've chosen to live in my own world.
