If you want to sit there and be thoughtful, put all the things there that would make you want to sit there and linger.<br />{for me, that would be a blanket, a basket with my favorite reading, a Bible, a gorgeous pillow, and good light}<br />Hope that helps!!<br />- {darlene} from<br />fieldstonehilldesign.com{darlene}https://www.blogger.com/profile/17310243306735564898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6758915940467026052.post-71374012738076063322011-01-24T21:23:14.240-05:002011-01-24T21:23:14.240-05:00I think it looks very cozy!

Have you ever considered putting your couch at an angle so that faces the outside as well as your tv cupboard? I have tried it in my home, but didn't have a large enough space...this is a gorgeous room!! And everytime I see a cross, I think of you!!Patti @ Pandoras Boxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07168379052525278502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6758915940467026052.post-1730147916739040182011-01-23T14:33:13.503-05:002011-01-23T14:33:13.503-05:00Richella, that room is so beautiful and I know wha...Richella, that room is so beautiful and I know what you mean about no walls in a room. I have less wall than you in our living room. That corner used as a spot to sit and read is a great idea. I would just get a different floor lamp that places the light down on the chair instead of up in the air or place a small lamp on the table. I think floor lamp would be better though.
