Brown and orange carpet. Dark wood paneling. In one room a single-bulb in-ceiling fixture with a frosted glass cover. The same in the hall. In the large room two single-tube flourescents in single file. And the patio door faces north -- nice in summer, but not a lot of help in winter.

We hope that the carpet can last a couple more years before we replace it. Money IS a factor -- we'll have to re-roof this summer, and that little chore is gonna set up back some big bucks. And no, I am NOT going to re-roof with cedar shakes! Not in wildfire country.
