Favorites in My Living Room

I have spent so much time at home these past few months that I

have spent more time fluffing the cottage and enjoying it's various

nooks and crannies.  I love my living room because of it's bright

and cheerful yellow walls, and for the sunlight filled mornings

because of its eastern exposure.  It's a good place to sit and read

too.  

I really have a passion for vintage books.  I love their decorative

spines and covers.  Whenever I come across one in an antique or

thrift shop I just can't pass it up.  I have never appreciated 

displaying books with their spines facing the back of a bookcase.

I suppose I dislike that trend because I love to see what others 

are reading.  

Here is a collection of dog photos of beloved companions who

are no longer with me.  I love seeing their little faces, and each one

has special memories for me.

The toile on this chair is just perfection.  I have two of them in this

fabric, the style of each chair is slightly different.  This one has

fully upholstered arms.

This one does not.

A desk filled with sentimental treasures.

And a lamp full of whimsey.

Staying at home during this pandemic is not always fun, but I take

comfort in appreciating the things I have in nooks and crannies that

make me smile and say "this is home".

It's Friday afternoon.  Let's make it a good weekend filled with

memorable moments.

Love,

Susan and Oliver
