I have always loved the look of an old library or study.
A little room surrounded in floor to ceiling bookcases, beautiful old books and treasures.
With an old reading table covered with your latest books, magazines
and inspirations.
Our old round dining table moved to the far side of the living room
and found a new spot in front of one of the windows
The chandelier hanging above lights up the evenings with it’s warm glow
while sunshine streaming in through the window during the day
fills the room with little reflections from it’s prisms.
This delightful chicken wire topiary planter was a recent Ben Franklin find.
The wirey construction and charm remind
me of my sweet friend Erin over at Peony Wire Works
A vintage vase filled with a bouquet of pretty pink roses &
white carnations from my sweets
bring a bit of garden charm inside with their blooms…
while a stack of gorgeous books calls to me to come
sit and gather up some inspirations.

That is inspiring Courtney, I would love to have a reading table to pile my books upon and sit under a chandy and read away…love this!
Courtney, that is so pretty. Love the wire cloche. We don't have Ben Franklin stores here anymore. We did long time ago.
Courtney I love it! It's so cozy, so pretty. I also adore the wire cloche, I have been looking for one for ages. The perfect sitting spot, and nice place to study too.
So beautiful. I'd love to sit there and read for hours.

Hi Courtney,
I am sitting at my own little round table in front of the windows, next to a stack of books piled high! We just added the very same thing to our family room about a month ago and I love it. You have got some very pretty accessories on yours though! Love the cloche. Mine isn't blog worthy yet.
What is it they say about great minds thinking alike?? lol

What a sweet spot! It does make you want to sit, read and be inspired!
Love your cute vignette perfectly placed to catch the light!

Courtney, I absolutely love this. I would love to have a sunny spot to read, create, and dream. This is such an inspiring post for me! I really need to finish our at-home art studio.
Courtney, I will be right over. I will have a basket filled with teas and baked goodies and we can talk for hours in your nook!! <3
You gave me in my Achilles heel, I love old studios or libraries, I'm trying to convert my living room in one, I also have a table with chairs, we enjoy reading and doing homework there since we have a spectacular view. Your place is very cozy and inviting!
