Library Lusting.

Sometimes, many different flavors can combine to create one larger, greater concoction.  Such is the case with this week’s space.  This room is somewhat of a gumbo; many varied elements and premises all tossed carefully and creatively into one large stew pot.  We’ve got some comfort elements (plush chairs and a sofa) for maxing and relaxing, a studious little nook (a great little desk and window pairing) for taking care of business, a fireplace for a little heat and crackle, and a mass of books so large that this room could double as the east wing of your local library.  It has it all, and it just works.  This is without a doubt a book lover’s room.  Let the daydreams commence.

Is it just a room, or is it something more?  At first glance, one may not celebrate its ambiance.  At first glance, it looks like, well…just a room.  Nothing more than a bed and a window; but what’s on the surface can often be deceiving.  What’s celebrated here is simplicity; in the rugged, organic structure of the bed, complemented thoughtfully by the sturdy nightstand, all while gently being watched over by a minimal floor lamp.  But all of that frames the highlight of the space…the window.  That lush, sylvan view adds just a touch of beautiful complication to the stillness.  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.

Is anyone else ready for winter (well, those of us in the States)?  Photos like this week’s space just open up the inner wintry spirit.  One look at this bright, airy space is enough to get the itch for snow (sitting inside, chilling…not driving in it).  And despite the glorious cold stuff packing gently outside of the room in this photo, the space retains a spectacularly cozy warmth due to the rich, warm wooden hues.  This is a coffee sipping, winter loving space indeed.  Let the daydreams commence.

Peaceful. That word sums this space up succinctly. Soft natural sunlight flooding over the room by way of a massive floor to ceiling window, a sturdy workspace, a comfy chair pulled close to it for some close proximity relaxation, and a beautiful wall of books. Simple perfection; this is without a doubt a book lover's room. Let the daydreams commence.

There's something very interesting here;
stark, structural simplicity blended tidily with a beautiful wash of snow swept countryside. A very striking combination when done right. One must admit that there is a raw, organic comfort in spaces like these; with uncomplicated, almost spartan furnishings, the emphasis is placed on the surroundings rather than the interior. As a result, both elements are enhanced considerably. And the little stout stove? Perfection. Let the daydreams commence.

Great libraries generally ignite an interest in reading. As a side effect, they should also compel one to relax and unwind. A great theme of home libraries is just that; a marriage of those two concepts, visually appealing, and structurally useful. This week's selection has a sublime mix of simplicity and sophistication with its industrial elements and expansive windows. Its crafty little details just scream comfort, and the ladder? C'mon. That's just awesome. This is most certainly a book lover's room. Let the daydreams commence.

Quotes – Meaning.

Have you ever questioned your purpose?  I know I have.  I’m guessing that we’ve all had those moments at some point on our respective journeys.  But you know what?  Our purpose is to be here…to live, and each day that we’re gifted is another opportunity to live fully.  Let’s enjoy the journey and appreciate the adventure, and remember that each day has its own meaning.  It’s all a blessing.

Size, sunlight, and class…this space has it all.  A monumental double height room, flooded with ample natural light and stacked to the rafters with books (and a neat little workspace tucked away on the upper level), this is the ultimate getaway from the noise and stressors of the world.  The perfect place to relax, release, and rebound.  Let the daydreams commence.
