Category: Living Room Photos

Here are some new photos of the house taken this year. This fall we’ll be repainting the exterior of the house, and doing ongoing beautification work in the garden.

: Looking from the front gate to the property across the street.

: The front door. This front room is a screened-in patio, open to the breeze and the birdsong.

: The front gate, and the house in the distance.

: The driveway through the yard. It looks like a dirt path, but it is gravel underneath.

: The kitchen. Lots of counter space!

: The path to the laundry room behind the house. The house comes with a washer and dryer that were just purchased in 2012.

: The master bedroom.

: Paved path on the side of the yard. It goes past mango trees and eucalyptus trees.

: The side of the yard, and the garden shed in the distance.

: The sitting room. This room is always cool, even on hot days, because of the high ceilings and open windows.

THE LIVING ROOM

The living room is essentially a large, closed-in patio with very high celings. It has ceiling fans and lamps as well, a hammock, two built-in seating areas with cushions and pillows, an indoor barbeque with a vent to remove the smoke, and a guest bathroom. A large, heavy wooden door separates the living room from the rest of the house. That door can be locked for added security, not that it is needed in this peaceful place.

This room is always pleasantly cool, even on the hottest days. It’s a lovely room in which to dine, relax with friends, play cards or games, dance, or just hang out. My daughter always enjoyed playing in this room, while I used to lay down mats and practice martial arts in the evening. We often entertained friends in this room. In the morning all you hear is bird song, and in the evening the chorus of the frogs and insects.
