Library Lust

This weekend calls for a library with a fireplace. It is unusually cold here this week (it is minus 10 outside as I am writing this, an improvement over yesterday morning’s minus 18) and all I want to do is stay inside, wrap myself in blankets, and read. Instead, I have much to do but this is where I will dream I am spending the weekend.

This I like! A choice of chair or sofa, sufficient light from window or lamps, books galore, a fireplace, rug underfoot and just sufficient objects (ornaments and pictures) to make the room interesting without being overcrowded. Perfect.

This does seem cozy and warm for a day of reading when “baby, it’s cold outside!”

Very nice indeed! It’s 28 here (warm for you, but uncommonly cold for us!) and a roaring fire sounds wonderful.

It’s virtually perfect-I would just lighten the walls a tiny bit, but I could happily live with it just like it is.

I would just change the leather sofa to a fabric for more comfort since I must lie down when I read. A pot of tea, a mocha latte or a glass of wine and I would be in heaven.

I love the lemony accents.

I hope some of that dream came true. Great library. Stay warm.
