The last few months have been... insane, beautiful, hectic, fantastic, and overall a huge adjustment into married life! I will post more about that later though once I get all our wedding pictures. Patience, young grasshoppers!
So we live on the second and third floors of a really old Victorian house which makes for some interesting spaces, especially on the top floor. It was a bit overwhelming to know what to do with all these places at first, but after living in it, staring at it with the contemplative hand on chin, and a little bit of online inspiration, I tried to make a reading nook for us.
It was a lot more simple than I first imagined. I had the hope chest (which my dad actually made me, it is one of my most treasured items), and I just folded up a quilt and added throw pillows. The globe lights I found at Target during Christmas time for about $6, and I cant wait to add more around the house as the chilly weather settles in!
And this is the little new addition to our family, Theo, who I think just found his new favorite spot. If there's anything to do with perching and stalking birds out windows, he's game.
Before - you may remember this from a previous post :) |

This has officially become my new catching up on emails and editing photos spot, and I love it! Cal loves to use it as a place to study for his notary, which is coming up later this month.
What is your favorite space in your home to relax and get away?
With Love,
Cathy
