The little sitting room had lost it's calling.
It was tired and drab.
It was tired and drab.
The paintbrush brightened.
Furry throws cosied.
Sheepskin soft.
Foxes, stags and wild piggies.
Oak double glazed windows arriving soon ... woo, hoo -
no more whistling wind and puddled water on window sills.
She has a book OCD ... they have to be in order.
1949 Jeroboam size Champers bottle
Little books.
Skulls and claws.
Boot house dusted and re-arranged too!
Framed stag fabric scrap.
Gilded mirrors.
Reflected light.
Wood is chopped. Chimney's swept.
The fires will blaze tonight.
I have book OCD too so I can perfectly understand the arrangement Jane. I loved all of these photos, what made me most happy though is the fact that you're getting double glazing in soon. I thought at the time that you didn't have double glazing was a real shame and hard to deal with during Winter so hopefully this helps!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cosy room. You'll certainly notice the difference with the double glazed window.
ReplyDeleteLove the wild boar fabric :o)
Have a great week.

Your room looks very inviting and cosy! Just the right place to sit and read on dark, cold evenings! Ada :)
ReplyDeleteLovely, can I please come sit by your fire!!! x
ReplyDeleteAs a child I loved those Observer's books, and now I am wondering whatever happened to mine?
ReplyDeleteAre you retaining the wooden sill? it looks such a good size and a lovely piece of character wood.
what a gorgeous cosy room! i'm particularly in love with that lampshade
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid I don't have book ocd so I'm a bit bewildered as what you do when you want to read one...but I do have teaspoon ocd which can play havoc with the cutlery drawer when you want a cuppa!

Such a warm and inviting room. I love your new lamp, all your books (adore the little ones), everything! The framed fabric is wonderful. I could go on and on, but I can envision many happy hours there. You've inspired me to freshen up my room a bit.
ReplyDeleteThe books are amazing and the way you have them arranged makes me wish I had a bit of that OCD. My books aren't even in one place. I love the fabrics and particularly the lamp you created. I always see these lost lamps at the Goodwill and never buy them because they have no shade, but now I may just buy a couple and make my own shades. Such inspiration!
ReplyDeleteThanks for that sneak peek! I love that window sill and that bird cage... I can tell it is gorgeous even though I see only a little of it... Thanks for joining my blog and leaving a comment! I am sorry for not reacting for long... I have been absent from blogging! Take care and enjoy the blazing of the fires! CHrista
ReplyDeleteWhat a cozy, lovely space for autumn dreaming.
ReplyDeleteDivine lampshade!
ReplyDeleteWhat superb taste....
Are you preparing to hibernate????
Bestest as ever,

How lovely! I know someone who is really keen on the shop where you got your lampshade and fox. That design looks wonderful and really makes their room look good even though it is a different style from yours. Having seen it in your room photos looking so good too I am starting to think I ought to pay the place a visit myself ...
ReplyDeleteOh what an enchanting blog you have! I seem to remember you for those darling little dogs on your sidebar are my favorites and that you live in SOmerset rings a bell!
