Where I Blog Party

Kate at Centsational Girl is hosting a "Where Do You Blog?" Party and, of course, I wanted to join it! 

This is my reading nook.  I live in a one-bedroom apartment with a fiancé and a cat, so I have very little extra space.  I decided a while back that I would take a corner of my bedroom and turn it into my own reading/ writing/ blogging area.  This was the result.  We had an old recliner that was upholstered in some terrible corduroy.  So I bought a pretty blue sheet and put over it.  My plan was to faux-slipcover it, but I couldn't figure out how to do that.  Instead, I draped and tucked it until it looked decent-ish.  The lamp has a really cool on switch.  It lays on the floor so it can be turned on with your foot.

This pillow created my color palette.  I absolutely love the way the blue, brown, and yellow play off each other, only adding to their individual brightness.  I would love to paint a room the blue in this pillow one day.

This is just a folding TV table covered in a pretty tablecloth.  The pen holder is a cut glass goblet from my cabinets.  The picture is of my besty (Leanne) and I.  The books are some that I've started and some that I haven't.

I am currently *trying* to read Ada, or Ardor by Nabakov.  It's a tough read because it is very Russian.  If you've read it, you know what I mean.

And this is on the wall above my chair.  My beautiful late grandmother, Jeann Hayes Greenway, looks down on me and protects me.  

This is where I blog!
