Memories from a young couple's first house

I'm posting for Sepia Saturday this week, which has a nice bedroom scene from 1910.

Sepia Saturday informs us...

Bedrooms! We spend a significant part of our lives there, but they may not be at the forefront as far as the photographic record of our lives is concerned. We probably have more photographs of the garden shed in our collections than of our bedrooms! Just in case this applies to you and you want to join in with this week's Sepia Saturday, you can always follow the jug, or the carpet or the window - or whatever. Whatever you decide to go with, do it on or around Saturday 15th December and add a link to the list on the SS page.

None of my older photos show a bedroom.  Mmm. Guess the fact that everyone usually was outside to have family group pictures taken might be a clue.  

So my contribution has taken some head scratching.  That must be where I think my ideas and inspiration come from.  Here's a Home Blessing that I found...from when I last moved the place I lay my head every night.  That was about 3 years ago.

Russ and Michelle in their first house in 1981...just moving in!  I came to see on a weekend!

 And here's a bedroom photo of me!  I had no idea until I waded through a few hundred files before I found I did indeed have a bedroom photo!  The guest room was between the upstairs back and front stairs, and Michelle used it as her office also.

 Waiting for my flight home to FL...Russ and I enjoyed a few moments to say goodbye. I notice that pre-cell-phone-era I still wore a watch to tell time!

And here Russ and Michelle stand in the dining room, before her family's dining room furniture arrived, and they removed the wall with the door to the kitchen...as well as the wallpaper.  I share this shot especially because it comes back to the floral wallpaper in the Sepia Saturday picture of the bedroom!  They actually painted the walls tomato red and they looked great with the Mediterranean furniture.
