My Journal of a COVID-19 Year, Day 21, “Walk right in, set right down”

Ok, enough thinking. Time for another glimpse at my new home. This is the living room. For those of you who remember the balcony shot last week, this room is connect to that, and the shot is taken from overhead in the dining room area, one half flight up.

I spend a good portion of my reading time here, either in the chair, which was my parents’ chair for many years, or on the sofa. The room is very bright during the day with the window being, the glass door to the balcony which has another huge window on top, and a skylight. The front door is a ways behind the red chair. This is the entrance room where I hope to hold parties, book clubs, and cocktails before dinners in the dining room room or on the balcony.

This room has the highest ceiling of any of the rooms of the house, adding to the light and airy feeling during the day. Unseen in the picture is the television and a built in set of bookshelves. Of course the fireplace, though not on my original list of “must haves” will be a critical focus of the room. I’m still trying to decide about the picture over the fireplace. It belonged to my parents, and I like it, but I’m not sure that it is my aesthetic. What do you think?

Be safe, be strong.
