renewage...

I've lived in a lot of houses and apartments in my life and was always one

for rearranging rooms. I just like to change it up

now and then...have a different view.

The house we have lived in for the past 14 years has a small living space

and there is only so much you can do with the floor plan.

Still, I try my best to do something different once in a blue moon.

So the Christmas decorations have all been put away and

I in my infinite challenge to shake things up decided to change my dining room space.

I moved my table to look out the windows...

 I can look out onto the grey days and the birds...

...a good place for a cup of tea...

 My mother fern will be much happier here with more light on her fronds...

 A wee reading nook for me as well in the big rocker...

I was looking at images of different reading nooks and came away with a few favorites...

how's this for a stack of reading material?...

makes my little pile pale in comparison!...

 ...a few more nooks from the net...

 

O.K, so maybe the Trinity College Library in Dublin is a bit much but a girl can dream can't she?

(by the way, this is one of my favorite places I've ever been!)

Do you have a favorite spot for reading or daydreaming?

Speaking of renewing/ new...or new to me at least...I found this gorgeous Norwegian sweater

in the thrift shop the other day and I can't tell you how thrilled I am...

 I've been looking for one for ages and they were either too expensive or didn't fit...

 This one was like Cinderellas slipper...fit perfect and I love the colours and pattern...so wintery!

 Don't you just love the buttons?!

Anyway that's about all that's new/renewed around here...Does Reuben look like he cares?
