Opening the Front Door...

Welcome to my home! Let me open the front door so you can come in...

Oh, it doesn't actually open all the way. This black bookcase is getting in the way. You can tell that it is not actually centered - well, the door is why.


There are only eight inches between the door and the wall, which is not a lot when you are looking for a console. Or a bookcase. Or anything else to "fill up" the wall.  I finally came up with the bright idea to put a shelf there - shelves do come in seven inch depths, which is perfect. Doug even put it up for me...after a week or so of just letting it sit behind the couch.

The next item: decorating it. I wanted something big and bright. Well, this arrangement is certainly big, but it is not bright. Doug says it is too big.


This was Doug's suggestion. I think it's too small. Also, this particular rose plant (which Doug bought me for Valentine's Day!) requires sun. Not gonna get much right there, let me tell you.


I also tried this little potted plant. It is fake, but it isn't much bigger than the rose. Hm.


Apparently, decorating this little shelf is still on the agenda. Rats. At least the door now opens. All the way.
