Temple of the Soul

Designer Terence Conran once said, "The living room should be a place where we feel totally at ease — temple of the soul." I couldn't agree more. 

Unquestionably, the logs for the fireplace was the easiest decoration to assemble. I simply opened my pantry door and retrieved two cinnamon sticks.

The coffee table was the second easiest decoration: I attached a spool of thread to the bottom of a gift box lid.
