Enter the Living Room

The house was a short sale and had been a rental for at least a few months, so the living room, along with most of the house, had stuff scattered about and needed a good cleaning. We started by taking everything out and giving the floors a good Swiffering (no power yet, but we really need to vacuum). The fireplace has a plain mirror mounted above it that we'll take out. I like mirrors over fireplaces, but one looks like it belongs in a (dated) bathroom, not a living room.

That's the front door to the left. It was hung upside down and backwards with an interior door handle for the lock. The broker's original photos showed a dark wood door, so I'm guessing the seller took whatever was there and sold it or used it elsewhere.

The dining room makes the living room into an L shape. To give you an idea of the layout, the front porch is to the right of this picture. At least there's a cool light fixture that we can keep!
