Porch turned living area/ listening room
« on: November 14, 2011, 06:36:44 PM »
This is a project that had been on my mind quite awhile and has kept me busy for the last few months. The intention of the room is for a relaxing gathering area. Strictly NO TV!! It will house my favorite stereo of the week and seating. It should be a nice place for friends to have a drink, listen to some tunes and converse.
There's still a lot of work left to do, but here's where we are at as of now.

Very nice.  I love all the wood. 

Your going to need a plush area rug and some cushy furniture to take some of the liveliness out of the room.

I've thought about that a lot. Tom suggested putting up bookshelves... which makes sense. I want animal pelts, but I don't think the wifey will go for that...

Maybe you should have the wifey pick out some tapestries to hang between the windows.   Those areas will be the hot spots.
