Mary Glen I've been in Somerville since 2004.
I was lucky enough to secure a consultation with artist, decorator and good friend Manya Goldstein, of Bellefontaine, PA.
Living/dining
room
Manya talked me into window treatments and I have to admit they really do make a
difference. I love the table by the window with a nice view of
the house
across the street.
A day bed
gives me room for visitors, and storage for papers underneath for now. The
handsomest mirror I have was a present from Manya [next to lamp on bookcase].
Study My desk is by the only phone jack
-- I really like the way it works. The desk can be cleared off and used as
a buffet table.
Manya
suggested the coat rack. I'm still looking for ways to increase storage
space. Trying to get rid of some possessions has also occurred to me.
Have hung
some pictures, playbills and prints. I'm still working on my
EJ Phillips website -- and
a book

Kitchen The galley kitchen has surprisingly capacious
cupboards. I painted one wall Aegean blue, and replaced cupboard knobs.
and
added mirror tiles, which makes the kitchen look a little bigger.
Bathroom The "stained glass" is vinyl.
Bedroom I
have my great-grandmother's spool bed that I had in Florida.
My friend Saul added built-in bookcases.
I've ended
up with more mirrors than ever. Manu thanks to Moving Maven Sue Richardson's
decorating advice.
Gardening
has become a great interest.
