Our Own Little Reading Room

One of the things that I would really, really love is to someday own a home with a library.  I, of course, am partial to the grand old Victorian era sort, though an early 20th century library with lots of built in, glass front bookcases would be more appropriate for our house.  Needless to say, though, our house was never quite that grand. 

Being both bibliophiles, Bow Tie Man and I have plenty of books.  And like all good book lovers, we are always on the hunt for more places to store books, and new cozy settings in which to read them.  Now, thanks to a little redo of his office, which is what we call our one downstairs bedroom, we have a little reading room that is cozy and snug.

What a lovely cosy room. I am with you, I would love an old fashion library with some large leather chairs and a big desk. But it will never happen - I have the wrong house completely!!

Me too! We LOVE libraries and have more books than I'm willing to admit. It's wonderful to have a cozy spot to enjoy! Here's to many, many wonderful evenings of reading together!
