I'm resigning myself to an early fall. It's cold. I'm wearing jeans. Pretty soon I'll be forced to carry a sweater with me. I've decided that I have to embrace it (survival tactic) or else I'll mope for a whole month (and no one likes a moper). So I'm starting to dream about pumpkin lattes and woolly sweaters and getting cozy. What better way to start than by reorganizing my living room (okay, so what if it's a bi-monthly activity)? Last night I created a definite split between my 'dining area' (not shown) and my 'living area' (pictured above). I'm happy with it. And now I have a very inviting, corner reading nook with a coffee table for easily-reachable book access and coffee mug placement. I hung out there for 4 hours last night and felt very satisfied. That's a good sign.

HMMMM HMMMM tasty - nice work - M
Your new room layout does look very cozy - and if you can sit there for 4 hours, then it's all good. But wanting fall to come? Now I have a problem with that. Ottawa summers are too short to wish for fall. Except I am tiring of my summer wardrobe.
hehe... i am currently taking a break from my own reorganizing of the living space. i suppose it has been about a month since the last move-around. feels like a fresh start. i however have filled my bedside table with fresh cut flowers from the garden. im not quite ready for fall however i have been serving up plenty of pumpkin spice treats at the bux this past week. personally i am waiting for the gingerbread and nog!
room looks great! steff
XOXO
Those paintings over your fireplace are striking. Are they by the same artist?
Thanks Yukie! Yes, they're actually by me. I painted them a few years ago. They're for sale if you're interested ;)
So tempting!! Do you have any more of your art online?
Yukie - no, I don't. I really should put something together to showcase what I've done, but I haven't gotten around to it yet.
