Storytime Saturday, featuring an excerpt from an as yet nameless tale.

Take a gander, if you’d like, and let me know what you think.  Happy weekend; stay creative.

He rode slowly and haughtily toward the beast; his approach was strewn with pride at felling such a mighty animal. The others rode the clearing, picking off the last of the exhausted herd, and he reached the animal as it writhed its last frenetic movements. The beast lay dying, an arrow through its chest, drawing its last breaths. He watched the king dismount and walk toward him with knife drawn. His last view consisted of the king, knife in hand, approaching him and drawing the glistening blade across his neck, thus finishing the job. The hunt was over, and the men cheered with pride at their success.

The camp was ripe with the talk of the day; bold stories intermixed with tall fables resounded over the group, and each man enjoyed his share of the well cooked venison. The fires simmered and the king made his rounds with the men, hearing each man’s tale with a warm smile and a ready ear.

Sometimes you just crave comfort; the ability to sit back, kick the feet up, and just chill.  This week’s space is that kind of place.  It’s got that quiet, subdued, organic, laid back vibe that would mesh well with sunny afternoons, dreary rainy days, and every day in between.  It’s got just enough rough hewn elements to give it some edge, and just enough comfort tones to make you want to dive right in.  The tidy little book collection doesn’t hurt either.  Let the daydreams commence.

I’ll have to admit that this particular space may not be for everyone.  BUT, for those with a penchant for solitudinous beauty, this room has value.  Here, the major sticking points are in the minor touches; as if more is accomplished with less.  Large, expansive windows open up the room and flood it with gorgeous natural light, and the space is warmed gently by the judicious use of wood throughout.  What gets me is the lack of material elements which often clutter a space; in this area, we only see some essential items.  A space to rest and a space to work, which wonderfully  highlights the paramount bit; the immensity of the view.  Perfection.  Let the daydreams commence.

Light your fire, grab your coffee (or wine), snag your book…and cozy up to the warmth of this week’s great wintry space.

Man, this week’s space really gives one the urge to take a bath.  The room exudes a powerful sense of quiet and calm, and the angular, minimal aspects provide a clever dose of mind clearing peace.  This space is oozing with de-stressing mojo.   And the view?  No words necessary.  Let the daydreams commence.

Light your fire, grab your coffee (or wine), snag your book…and cozy up to the warmth of this week’s great wintry space.
