Coming together

So, in my last post, I got brave and asked opinions of anyone who read my blog to help me think of ideas for the corner cabinet in my den. (See post below). Well, I wasn’t sure if I would get any responses, ( or if anyone reads my blog) but I did get one very good idea. My friend Cindi Palma had a great idea about what to do with the books beside the corner cabinet. She suggested color coordinating them. I loved this idea! She also suggested some original art in the corner piece. I had a stained glass window that my sister Dinah made for me ( she is extremely gifted!) that fit perfectly in the spot. Chris and I put our heads together and figured out how to light it and mount it. It was an all afternoon affair, but we kinda did it. It is an experiment, but I think I like it!
I am currently working on updating the canvas for over the sofa, something maybe a little more colorful and modern looking.The bookcases are also still in process. It all started with that wonderful red sofa and love seat. Oh, and I also included a photo of my favorite throw ever. I found it at Pottery Barn on clearance. They had them at Christmas and I wanted one then, but they were more than I wanted to pay. The timing and color couldn’t be better! It is hand knit and so wonderfully full of texture and softness. I love to curl up in it in my new room while I drink my coffee and journal in the mornings. Very very good.
Still learning what I love. What do you love? I would love to know!
