Home Update:

My livingroom, with Ghostbusters II playing on the TV.

And from the other side....

New Goodies

I found these cordial glasses for $2 a piece at our favorite antique store yesterday:















Detail:
I love the gold detail, they are adorable! I almost want drink absinthe out of them, but I have never been a fan of anise/liquorish flavored things. I know I'll just end up staring at them on a shelf, I don't drink any liquors! haha
I also purchased the red candy dish and vase in the background from the same store, also for less than $5 each, although I don't recall how much. Also, we picked up a coffee table there. It's not spectacular but it was only $49, and it is certainly a better fit for our home than the modern(read: cheap), black, presumably IKEA-born table we had before.

Secret Room:

The hole to the room:


A close-up of the wallpaper (at least it isn't yellow!). Roses!




I still can't believe that this was discovered in my home after my recurring dreams on the subject! Maybe it's one of those things that magically appears just when you've learned to let go of the need to seek it!
I can't figure out what the room must have been for. It's too short to stand in, but the wallpaper seems to fit its dimensions which leads me to believe that it was built/used at it's current size.
Perhaps it was a separate attic space that the house's first occupants furnished as a playroom for their children. Who knows, it obviously hasn't been open in many many decades.

Our Xmas Tree!

I wanted a potted one but by the time we got around to it, all the good ones were gone and only the scrappy potted trees were left.
