The orange Mid-Century Modern chair was a find off Denver Craigslist; the Milo Baughman ottoman/table, from Boulder Craigslist. The table is from Target; the rug from Crate & Barrel Outlet, the lamp from a vintage store in Palm Springs and the daybed from Urban Outfitters.

I love this photo the most of the many I snapped. Each corner of the library was designed to keep your focus on the books, except when looking up. Rather apt at a religious retreat.

Almost.

I found the Hip 2 Be Square Barbie on Ebay. There are also green, pink and purple, and blue versions that are on my wishlist. Today was the first day I had this lovely lady out of the box! :)

-------------------

Living and fmaily rooms form the core of this plan, designed for those families in which parents and children prefer a degree of separation for sleeping, study, work. The master bedroom and bath are placed at one end of the living core, the children's quarters at the other.

 

On the front of the house is the Youngstown all-steel kitchen, shielded from the entry hall by a wall and linked to the family room by a dining or service bar.

 

The versatile Youngstown kitchen includes a Nutone built-in food center, Tappan built-in electric oven and surface cooking units, ventilating fan, dishwasher* and disposer to make meal preparation and clean-up a pleasure.

 

The wide terrace, shared by master bedroom and living room, affords luxurious outdoor living space, while indoors the living room fireplace, with its handsome raised hearth, adds its own touch of comfort and luxury.

 

Here, again, four variations are available to meet individual tastes.

Chapter on television and placement in a room. This teeny-tiny tv can't actually have been useful. Fireplace, tension pole lamp and doorway and wall unit are great, though!
