    Floor to ceiling…

    This image makes me happy. Books. Floor to ceiling. Taking up every spare inch of space. Not taken that seriously, but still (in my mind at least) precious and well loved. To me this looks like a happy home indeed. Are you a person that likes to have books all around or are you more like my dear DH and a bit more sleek and organized and just a smidge less clutter? Maybe a more formal library?

     

    Have a happy hump day!

     

    All the best,

    Colorful

    The painters are still at it but the house is now a wash of white. With that I had to get out and see my knitting buddies for a while to add a bit of color back to my life. Having now picked shades of white for the living room and bedroom I am of course mourning the old color I used to have. This will be something to get used to. Oh well. Time for accessory shopping!

    A New Volume

    Turning up the volume and putting on a fresh coat for spring. I’m pulling out the paint brushes to say goodbye to the colors of yesterday and hello to something new. Fingers crossed I’m happy when the job is done.

    Wishing you a great week.

    In the Closet

    I plan to be locked in the writing closet for the next month. November is NaNo National Novel writing month and though I’m not an official participant I still plan on writing as much as I can during that time. Now if only my writing closet was this pretty but maybe it’s for the best that I have the little corner I have. This closet I may never find my way out of.

     

    Are you doing NaNo this month?

    Lounge About

    Hey it’s Friday and I don’t know about you but I’m wiped. Makes me want to have a good lounge like Miss Coco here though I know I won’t pull it off anywhere near as elegantly as she did.

     

    Have a great weekend!

    Best,

    DIY-DIMe?

    Oh boy so it’s a big day today. A DIY kind of day with a whole lot of Oh La La thrown in. Today I’m going to be in the audience for The Nate Berkus Show. How? Why?

    Well, it’s blogger day over at Nate, well technically décor blogger day and you all know I’m pretty much a writer that talks about books, fashion, family, life and I drool over décor and show you pics of Jack on my getting a little tired couch while trying to hide my curtain situation. Yeah, it’s a situation. Shhh. Don’t tell the pretty bloggers.

    But I do love good décor and adore cutie Nate. What a dream to have him come and fix up my little cottage in Freshchester. Quite swoony and hey, this gets me like what, 1 degree from my girl. Ahh- AAhhhh….. (queue angels singing)

    P.S. still in a tizzy over what to wear. Ugh.

    Room Envy

    Sorry to be MIA on so many of my favorite blogs this week but as you know I’m elbow deep in edits and it just has to get done.  Has to.

    As I type this I’m in my basement but dreaming of this room. Just look at the wondrous light and those shelves. I could just sleep in the floor when I got tired and be happy.

    Any type of room you are dreaming about?
