Our old living room furniture was bought specifically for our enormous, contemporary living room in Houston. Can you say "14-foot ceilings?" I knew you could. That townhome was built in 2006.
Our Indianapolis home was built in 1933. Needless to say, the sectional did NOT fit design-wise or size-wise in the house. We could fit only three of the five pieces in the living room and even then they dominated the place.
Enter new furniture: loveseat from Pottery Barn and chair from La-z-boy. Yes! It's a recliner! The living room seems much larger now.
Many things have changed along the busy Colac shopping strip that runs the length of Murray Street. Shops have come and gone, and each time the shop front it inhabits is redecorated. Yet if you look above a shop's awning, you will often find the original building's upper floors and parapets, still very much intact.
Brown and Holmes was a publishing business that traded in Colac from the late Nineteenth Century. By the Twentieth Century, Brown and Holmes was successful enough to build this impressive and stylish Art Nouveau building. Built of red brick, the Brown and Holmes building uses the material to great effect in a feature panel between the windows of the upper storey. The remaining facade has been stuccoed. However what is perhaps the most striking feature of this building are its stylish keyhole windows, which are most unusual and striking.
Located approximately 150 kilometres to the south-west of Melbourne, past Geelong is the small Western District city of Colac. The area was originally settled by Europeans in 1837 by pastoralist Hugh Murray. A small community sprung up on the southern shore of a large lake amid the volcanic plains. The community was proclaimed a town, Lake Colac, in 1848, named after the lake upon which it perches. The post office opened in 1848 as Lake Colac and was renamed Colac in 1854 when the city changed its name. The township grew over the years, its wealth generated by the booming grazing industries of the large estates of the Western District and the dairy industry that accompanied it. Colac has a long high street shopping precinct, several churches, botanic gardens, a Masonic hall and a smattering of large properties within its boundaries, showing the conspicuous wealth of the city. Today Colac is still a commercial centre for the agricultural district that surrounds it with a population of around 10,000 people. Although not strictly a tourist town, Colac has many beautiful surviving historical buildings or interest, tree lined streets. Colac is known as “the Gateway to the Otways” (a reference to the Otway Ranges and surrounding forest area that is located just to the south of the town).

The information desk (I think -- there was no one there). Skip, Pat, and I took a stroll through the first floor ("ground floor" in Europe) of the Stata Center at MIT, their old school. The Stata Center, designed by architect Frank Gehry, is distinctive in here, but not quite as distinctive as it is outside.

Madge was glad Portia had talked her into the drapery wall, it did indeed soften the look of the room....

A section of the Drawing Room, on the first floor, at Fountain Elms. Notice the hand carved walnut, silk covered chairs and the marble topped center table. These three pieces were part of a "parlor suite" which was in the Rococo Revival style. On top of the table you see an antique table lamp with hanging crystals. Behind the table is the fireplace which has a white marble mantel. Above it hangs a vintage gilt mirror. Now a little bit of info: The Drawing Room received its name because it was the room to which women would withdraw after dinner while the men remained at the table with their cigars and liqueurs. In many houses, this room was called the parlor and functioned as a living room or family room as well as a space for entertaining. It was probably the most elegantly decorated room in a house and might feature furniture purchased as a "parlor suite". These sets consisting of a sofa, lady's chair, gentlemen's chair, and possibly a center table or etagere. This was a new way to purchase furniture in the mid-19th century, assuring that everything in a room matched. The furniture in Fountain Elm's Drawing Room represents the work of three important mid-19th century makers: John Henry Belter (NYC), Charles A. Baudouine (NYC) and Elijah Galusha (Troy, NY). Fountain Elms is part of the Munson-Williams-Proctor Arts Institiute. Located at 310 Genesee Street in Utica, NY. (136)

The living room in this house gets a lot less light than the living rooms in our previous two houses. Of course, both houses each had a wall of floor-to-ceiling windows. (AND the ceiling of the second house was 14 feet high!)
So, we've been working to "lighten" the living room in the new house as much as possible. First, we put in 100 W-equivalent fluorescent light bulbs in the light fixture. Then we put in our new window with a lot of clear glass to let in as much light as possible. Next step was to lighten the color of the room.
The room was a drab green-gray color when we bought it and neither of us liked it. I thought it was ugly and made the room seem darker. So I really wanted to paint the room yellow because I thought it would seem light-filled even when it wasn't.
Well. It might be a bit TOO yellow now. It looks fantastic in natural light, but looks a bit garish with the fluorescent lights. We will see how we like it over the next couple of weeks.
Color is Homestead Resort Tearoom Yellow.

Yet if you look above a shop's awning, you will often find the original building's upper floors and parapets, still very much intact.
This shop built of red brick with fine stonework has been built in Victorian Italianate style, an architectural movement that was very popular between the mid and late Nineteenth Century. the tall arched windows that give the appearance of a loggia is very typical of the movement, as is the use of brick against fine stonework to give the building an interesting appearance. The Victorian Italianate movement gained popularity in Britain and her dominions after architect Thomas Cubitt assisted Queen Victoria's husband, Prince Albert, to design Osborne, the Royal Family's residence on the Isle of White.

The Dining Room, on the first floor, at the Sonnenberg Mansion. Mrs. Thompson had a rather eclectic collecting style which is reflected in the Dining Room. The furnishings include an Oriental screen, American antiques, and reproductions of antique furniture. The room itself is built in the Colonial-style. It is located in the mansion at the Sonnenberg Gardens & Mansion State Historic Park which is located at 151 Charlotte Street in Canandaigua, NY.

I'm interested to see what the fireplace looks like underneath the paint. The stone or concrete appears to have been painted recently, perhaps to cover up smoke stains due to issues with the fireplace drawing. Note that the firescreen is custom fitted to the opening. Additionally, the valve for the gas is underneath the carpet, somewhere.
Finally, the space over the fireplace is just asking for a nice old landscape painting.

Bedroom - Fountain Elms - first floor - Houses in the Italianate Villa style sometimes included a first floor bedroom in their designs like this one in Fountain Elms. Many of the family's original furnishings from the 1850s were disposed of either as a result of changing styles during the house's years of occupation or during its decades as an art museum, so high style antique furniture was purchased from Upstate homes to fill the interior of this room. There are some exquisite pieces on display in this room such as the two vintage Victorian button-back side arm matching chairs you see in the center. The elaborate canopy over the bed is rather unique. The marble mantel came from a house in Canandaigua, NY and was installed as part of the 1960 restoration. Notice the wood fireplace screen with the floral tapestry needlework. Fountain Elms is part of the Munson-Williams- Proctor Arts Institute, located at 310 Genesee Street in Utica, NY. (158)

Anyone have any suggestions when dealing with red stage lighting. Always seems to over saturate everything. In this case not only was there very little stage lighting it was consistantly red.
