1961 - Living room in Arden Park home


A view of the living room in the Arden Park home. I think the furniture had been recently re-upholstered. Somehow, they were able to do a lot more ambitious projects, things that would likely be out of our reach. There used to be a shag carpet but that looks different, possibly they replaced the carpet. My mom still has that table, I think. A camelia in the brandy snifter (my mom liked that). There was a divider right by the front door that had some plants, possibly philodendrons. Card table could be stored in the wood divider. To the left in the foreground we two seldom used doors with decorative screens with pressed flowers and butterflies (real? who knows?) that led to the screened porch.

This room is still used as the living room but it now opens up to the left in the background to sunroom (the former porch)
