Here’s the fruits of my labor: (aka, a slideshow of the new living room!!!)
First, let’s start with what it looked like before (circa December 2004… you know, there were changes in the mean time (between 12/04 and last weekend), but I guess I don’t take a lot of photos my house because I see it every day; so just go with it, it is only for comparison purposes anyways!)
To begin: Two living room shots…
And, pictures of the bedroom that would become the new living room…
From Sept 2004…
and December 2004…
Like I said… Apparently, I didn’t take a lot of pictures of things, at least not as much as I would have liked, so perhaps the “change” factor may be lost; especially since I didn’t take before photos (D’OH!). But either way, here is the unveiling; the new salon/sitting parlor photos (which is now the artist formerly known as the living room):
AND!!!!! The NEW living room (which is now the artist formerly known as the bedroom we didn’t really use):
Now, we have a cozy little living room that we can enjoy; a new AWESOME couch we can lounge on; and a sitting parlor/salon to gay up the place a little bit. I can’t wait for the chance to entertain in this place, because it now has so much usable space, people may come out of the kitchen!! I am exhausted, so I am going to go and lounge on my new couch! Happy Sunday everyone!
Wow! I really love it. Want to come over to New England to redesign our place or maybe you could just convince Erik of all the extra stuff we don’t need. Enjoy.
Sounds like it’s time for another house party
Oooo. Comfy couch! I’ve got the redecorating bug really bad. But I need to satrt from scratch and that costs way too much right now.
Color me jealous.
LOVE IT! I can’t wait til I have a home to decorate. So jealous.
excellent!
who needs five queer eye guys if a fabulous duane moody can do the job?
So jealous… I want a house to decorate!
I have a crush on your living room.
looks so cozy! oh i can feel the total relaxation just looking at the pics
I really love that console table near the front door. The place looks great!
Duane,
I think home decor is your calling.
I was bummed about missing the blogger meetup, sounds like it went off just fine.
And, I agree on the house party. There needs to be more drinking with the dog!
That new couch looks damn comfortable.
Dude. I have an idea of what you could do w/ that mirror.
The room looks awesome, btw!!
Totally cute Duane, I love the new couch, it looks even better in the house then it did in the store.
Must say I miss the Jelly Beans that accompanied it in the store though!
Good work, can I hire you to redo my bedroom?
It looks just like my pad. Except nice.
Great Job! Looks beautiful..is that couch suede?
microsuede! Even better!
Looks great! I need to get a more comfortable couch.
