Lemons and Larkspur: my cozy corner

Can you believe it's November already?

I've changed out my favorite corner again, what do you think?

My sister in law is in the middle of rearranging rooms at her house and she gifted me with this amazingly comfortable chair. I loved the look of the white wicker here but I knew for practical comfort we would probably need to find something more substantial.

It took some tweaking but I think I have everything jelling together again. I've moved the wicker chair back into my studio where it was sorely missed by one little white dog and tucked the ottoman in a corner for extra seating as needed.

Couldn't you just grab a magazine and a hot cup of tea and cozy up here for an hour or two? I am a feet tucker inner...that's how I test furniture for comfortableness. If I can sit with my feet tucked under my legs then we have a winner. Let me tell you folks, we have a winner in this chair. Now all I need is for the weather to cool down enough to light a fire in the fireplace!

I made some good progress on the living room redo last weekend and I'm just about ready for the big reveal. I have to admit that I really love the way it's turning out and I can't wait to share it with you.

Happy November,
Patty

I'm not a foot tucker but a leg raiser on ottomans. Your chair looks so cozy I may have to go have a cup of tea right now! Enjoy your cozy spot - it looks wonderful!! And don't worry, you'll be lighting that fire real soon!

Your little corner looks so cozy and warm. That will be nice in the winter when you can sit next to a warm crackling fire. I like the colors in the chair and the white wicker!! So cozy!!

I really like your chair. I used to have couches that looked similar to that, and I miss them. Your little corner looks so relaxing.

I have a copy of the Autumn Cottage magazine in my powder room, and I just want to tell you that your home, decorating, and vignettes would fit perfectly in that magazine. I like how you have the magazine laying there with an afghan, and a cup of coffee. "Cozy" would be the way I describe you and your home, as well as that gorgeous, well-done magazine. I like your cozy corner of the world.
