The beginnings of a house tour

So we've been in our home for almost a year now and I finally feel like some of the rooms are ready to be photographed for my blog.  Over the summer I hope to get the rest ready but for now we'll start with the living room.  It's not quite finished but it's close enough so that you get the general ...
