El Rancho

Fabulous 50's home is rescued by overly opinionated guy with too much free time and a gay man's flare for design. Woo hoo!! Grab a pinata and a stick - sounds like a party!

Running out of clever titles so let me just introduce you to the den.

Phew ... this blogging is tough work ... lots of typing and pointing and clicking. It gets tiring after a while. Anyway, the kitchen leads into the den:

Plenty to hate here. Why paint over pine paneling? And if you do, why choose tan? Tastes vary, i suppose. Carpet was even uglier in person.Drapes ... yuck. Fireplace is actually really cool ... i want to paint over the brick, however (not the best looking brick in the world) ... old woodburner converted to gas. At some point in the future i plan to have the gas cut off to this (and the water heater - only gas burners in the house) and converted back over to woodburning ... sometime before winter, i guess. Oh, I hate ceiling fans - did i mention that already?





Here is the back part of the room ... a breakfast nook. I plan on using this as a bar/lounge area. That pendant/chandelier thing hanging from the ceiling is actually kind of cool ... but it won't be "hanging" around(<- get it? that's a pun. see, it's hanging from the ceiling and then i said hanging, which is ... uh ... nevermind.)
