Living room looking done

Well, I finally hung up the pictures in the living room on the weekend, so it finally looks like it is rather "done" from a moving in point of view. The actual living room area is quite sparsely decorated, but personally that is a look I prefer. Less stuff makes the space look nice and tidy.

Eventually, Claudia would like some sort of furniture piece for that wall, a wall unit or some low cupboard or something, but I think that will be fairly far along the list of things we need to buy and do for the house. I would like to get rid of the glass table, I hate it. I really dislike glass and metal furniture, the TV stand will also go one day, but it was cheap and there are not many alternatives for a corner CRT TV of that size. I think a nice wooden unit with a flat screen would be better, but these things take time. That TV meets our needs for the moment.

The pictures are both a nice reminder of Canada, and Claudia and I both quite like the style of native art. The print on the right is one I bought her for our anniversary back in 2003 or so, and then we needed a second picture so the wall would not look so bare. We ordered it from a gallery over the internet and now I think I may like the whale picture even better.

Here is a "before" photo for a comparison, so floor, furniture, lights, pictures and curtains are added. I realize now that the curtains are not so visible in my picture, perhaps I will have to take a better angle to show them. oops:
Here is a close up of the orca print so you can have a better look at it:
