“The couch I got off Facebook Marketplace, it’ll do for now,” he said.“Eventually, I do want like a sofa club one I think, and maybe a two seater chair.”To the right of the sofa was a white electric fireplace and a feature wall with red floral wallpaper.
“I do need to put a big mirror up above the fireplace there, but I’m just waiting for the wallpaper just to dry a little bit cause I only put it up yesterday,” he explained.He used three sets of curtains for the windows in black, white, and red, and a huge floral-printed rug sat in the middle of the floor.On the left side of the room, Connor had a collection of china figurines on display as well as a large statue of two fairy children.
