Cozy Corner For Autumn
Good Morning! I did a little rearranging this past weekend. In addition to the storage drawers, I got this hanging basket stand at the same yard sale for $5.00.
The blankets and pillows didn't match my bedroom colors, so I took them out and gave the baskets a good cleaning.
Next, I moved my patio chair into the corner.
Along with a little foot stool.
Now the baskets hold a burgundy throw and past Autumn issues of my favorite magazines.
Uh-oh...it looks like Daisy likes my new reading corner, too.
I don't think she plans on sharing! Thank you for taking a look and I hope you have a great day. It's the start of 2nd, 4th, and 5th grade for us!
What a fun find! I love your reading corner! Everything looks so cozy. :)
ReplyDeleteI just wanted you to know I just love your blog!! In fact, I mentioned it in my latest post on my blog! LOL
ReplyDeleteI had to run out to Michaels and get some of those pumpkin beads like you got! They are adorable!! I also saw the acorn ones and will probably have to get a bag of those eventually.
Your yard sale finds are fantastic! Wish I could find great things like that here. Thanks for all the wonderful pictures.
God bless you ~ Julie
I love your new reading corner, good luck using it, I think Daisy has made her claim! LOL
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful first day of school!
Hugs,
Kathi :)

ReplyDeleteCant blame a pup can ya!! I cleaned off my back porch yesterday..washed my chairs, table, scrubbed the floor. It looks really good...nice place for Gandalf and all kittys to lay on and around. URGH!!!! Oh btw...I bought a copy of The Secret Garden from the Good Will for .39 cents and started reading it yesterday. I love this book!!! Boy I have been deprived!

I don't think there's every anything you do in your home that I don't like :) I just love this little corner, I could see myself sitting there reading a good book :)
ReplyDeleteHi. I love your reading corner and baskets for storage!
ReplyDeleteDo you need something from Alaska or Vancouver for the kids? It's been long enough now, I can't remember what goes where in the grades so far as geography goes...although I think local geo/hist is in 2nd, isn't it?
lol, smart Daisy ~
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your pretty pictures. I hope you have a wonderful school year.
I also get out past issues of my favorite magazines for the current season. Looks like a lovely corner.
ReplyDeleteHappy first day of school!! I LOVE the school year starting! I cannot wait until Elizabeth and I embark upon her "offical" homeschool journey. :)
ReplyDeleteYour room looks SO cozy with the baskets and chair!

Hi Kelli,
ReplyDeleteThe reading corner looks cozy and comfortable. You did a great job!
Hi Kelli ,
ReplyDeleteI think you did a greAt job with your cozy little corner . It looks like something I would have done .
It also reminds me of the little pink stuffed chair I got at an estate sale and put in the corner in my kitchen ...... then ..... my dog Java took it over . So I guess I got him a dog bed for 5.00 ! Pay a visit to my blog and look for the picture of Java in my pink chair when you have a chance . Sue
I love your little corner:)
ReplyDeleteThat was a great garage sale, great prices! I like your cozy corner, I hope Daisy will share it with you!
ReplyDeleteHappy home schooling!

Cute corner! I can't believe the prices and finds you were blessed with this last weekend, Kelli! How wonderful.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great cozy nook! I would love to sit there and curl up with a book! You did a great job! Hey, Kelli, did you do any "Back to School" decorations? I put mine up this weekend.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Sharon

Hi, Kelli, I 'found' you through Monique's blog...I have really enjoyed my visits here and LOVE your pictures, recipes and well written, sweet words.
ReplyDeleteI have a question tho.....about your carpet.....I love that and have been thinking about Berber when we replace ours..how do you like it and do you find the light color is good or bad??? Thanks for any responses.....
Keep up the great job with the blog. I am going to add you to my reads, if you don't mind....

I love the pictures of Daisy! She looks so comfortable. All she needs is a good book to read! :) My cat, Bailey, would always know where I was about to sit and would jump there just about before I could sit down!! I suppose it's nice to have a reading partner! :)
ReplyDeleteCute site!
