With this post, I am "nesting", "showing & telling", "inspired" and sharing some "favourite things" and as such, I'll be linking to some wonderful blog memes which you can check out at the end.
I thought you might be interested to see where I blog. This is my office, but it is better known as, my "nest". It is a VERY small room that used to be our son's bedroom (a "before" pic is coming up) (poor guy - it really is tiny but he never complained - no wonder he went off to university so happily!) .

Let me point out some of my favourite things about this special space.
My chandelier that I picked out at a Canadian Tire store last year.
My Desk that Mr. Delight bought me for my birthday (Sears catalogue). "Some assembly required" apparently means "you build it from scratch"!
(Thanks to hubby for sticking with it!)

I am hoping to get a better desk chair soon.
My new metal "leaf" wall art that I bought at HomeSense and put over my desk.
My big fat leather chair and ottoman that I got on sale at an Ashley Furniture store. I just love curling up in here with a good book or magazine.
(Now, that is a "nest")
My side table (just a decorator table covered with a tablecloth until I find a better one) is the perfect spot to add some fall decor.
Lit candles make the room seem even cozier.
Hot coffee with a blueberry muffin and some honeydew melon makes the perfect snack.
Across from my big chair is this bookcase which used to be an ugly faux pine colour but Mr. D. painted it black for me. He also put in a small flat screen TV on the middle shelf.
Some pumpkins and a clock on the top shelf.
A scarecrow and a pumpkin in the midst of two hydrangea prints sit on the bottom shelf.
In this pic above, do you see the closet door beside the bookcase?
This is what is inside - a dish pantry that Mr. Delight built for me.
Not a very good pic as I had already started packing up, but this gives you an idea of what the room looked like before it became my "nest".
I spend so many hours in this tiny room in our house and just love it! I love the coziness of the small space and that it has my pretties in it, both the ones I've added and the ones YOU have for me to look at on my computer!
Special thanks to my dear hubby for fixing up the room and letting it be totally mine!
I'm linking up to some fabulous blog memes this weekend and hope you'll check them out!

Hello my friend...
ReplyDeleteOhhh...I just love your nest!!! It's perfect...so pretty and cozy...the perfect place to brainstorm! Love your comfy leather chair...and that beautiful desk! Girlfriend, you have decorated your nest sooo beautifully and I really enjoyed your autumn pretties! Ohhh...can't forget that gorgeous chandelier! You picked that from a tire store? Love it!!! Hehe! You know, my step-son decided to move his room to the basement a couple of years ago and I took over his old bedroom. I did the exact same thing as you...made me a nest! All of my favorite things are in that little room!
Well, dear lady...thank you so much for sharing your beautiful office with us! Such a treat!!!

ReplyDeleteI love your nest! It's beautiful... I am going to have room like that some day! I have to wait a while though because my 'Messy Marvin' is only 9 yrs. old. I love the comfy chair, the desk and the tv. Perfect! I don't think I would ever come out of there! LOL! Angie xo
ReplyDeleteLove your blog. Here is my little nest.
ReplyDeleteI am just seeing this and waanted to say how lovely is your nest! My "nest" is a SMALL little space in one guest room. I ahve a TV and this small table for my computer and the rest of the room is a leather sleeper sofa and a large desk/bookshelf that my hubby built for my daughter when she was younger. I keep all my treasured family photos on the shelves now. Hope you are having a great weekend! XO, Pinky
