HOME // THE NOOK

This space in my home is simply my favorite spot. Mainly b/c it’s the only place that has really beautiful light streaming in through the windows. I call this spot the Nook. It’s technically suppose to be the dining room, but we don’t eat at the table + don’t even have a dining table set up. This space is more of a sitting/ reading nook + where I photograph most of my jewelry. This space has shifted around alot over the years, but it’s main use has never really changed all that much. That beautiful antique desk above was my mothers, and it’s one of my favorite pieces of furniture in my home. She added those peachy glass handles to it and I remember loving the way the light hit them when she had it in her sunroom.

This space also has my favorite rug from Ecarpetgallery in it. We have 8 of their rugs in our home. Yes, EIGHT. I have found over and over again through the years the most beautiful boho rugs on their site. They always have the most amazing sales which is when I grab them. They just launched their US site and are having a new site sale at 70% off sale right now! They have been the most durable rugs and super easy to clean up with just Thieves and a rag. We even have one in our kitchen.

I got this beautiful pothos ivy on mother’s day last year. It was about 3 feet long when we got it and it THRIVED on my porch all season long. It quadrupled in length in like 6 months. It was insane. I brought it in over the winter and it began to turn yellow and drop leaves like crazy after about 2 months in. Now that the weather is shifting I have been keeping it outside and just bringing it in when it gets really cold. I’m hoping this spring it will start perking back up. I’ve never had a plant this big and I’m so scared I’m going to kill it. I need to clip it and start new babies b/c it just drags on the floor no matter where I hang it, but I’m having a hard time making myself cut it! ha ha.

I love this part of the nook so much with that arched window. One of the things that sold me on this house when we first looked at it. I have my crystals hanging in this window and they shoot rainbows all over the house in the morning. It’s magical. And this butterfly blanket from Calhoun & Co is just about one of my favorite things. If I had wall space I would buy another one just to hang on the wall b/c it’s so beautiful. I really wish I did have space for that. Maybe one day… But the most special thing in this space is that bookshelf. My daddy made it many many moons ago. It used to hang in our kitchen long ways on the wall and my mom put all her dishes on it. The later they had it on the floor longways in her sunroom with all her books on it.
