Someone Else’s House: Bungalow Living Room
Last time we were in this living room, I showed you the fireplace and mantel area that was transformed with paint and fabric. I also showed you how the saddle is displayed by the fireplace, and the wonderful sign they made from old fence boards featuring a horse theme with parts of a verse from the book of Job.
