Welcome to the Living Room!

| From House House Lovely House! |
We may just leave this oh-so-not mid-century couch in this room as both the room and the couch are big and they fit each other!
94% of everything else in the living and dining rooms is from the Mid-Century!
Matter of fact, most of the house is furnished with mid-century items…down to the set of Sears flatware my Mom gave me as a teen probably for my hope chest!

Could not pass up the light fixture that Jim rebuilt and the Sears star burst clock that my Step Father fixed!
