The House, Part Two

This is looking towards the front door from the library. Tom did the paintings you see. That is the front (double) door back there. Tom's office is behind the wall to to the right (I don't know why he didn't take a picture of it, too.) The other door you see is to a coat closet.


This is the another angle of the picture (portrait) wall. seen in the top photo. Most of these faces are of people Tom knows or saw in Hyde Park.


The entertainment wall. Tom did the painting of the house he and Helen had in Hyde Park. There is another one that goes with it that is in the guestroom. The pottery on that high shelf is Helen's work. The television is the one the Carmelites gave me for my apartment in Chicago. It looked ginormous in that little studio, but it doesn't look so big here. That door goes into my bedroom. It looks weird becasue trough the doorframe you can see part of the door to the walk-in closet and part of the door that opens into the bathroom.



My bedroom with another of Tom's paintings. That is my desk in the foreground, also seen in the next picture. The wall is called something like Santa Fe red. It is not shiny and makes the room feel warm. The other walls in the house are not as colorful. The living/dining kitchen space is two shades of a light, creamy brown, Tom's office is yellow, his bedroom is blue and the guestroom is green.


I had seen the design for this desk/bookcase and showed it to Tom. He built it for me, just as he built the bed and much of the other furniture in the house. You can't tell probably, but it is like a stepladder leaning against the wall. You will notice the stuffed dragons here and elsewhere...


This is the bookcase along the wall between my bedroom and the living area.

That's about it. Tom didn't take a picture of the guestroom or his bedroom, both of which are at the other end of the house.
