A loft-y goal

When we reimagined the open space upstairs (adjacent to our master suite), we envisioned dreamy wood beams, cozy reading nooks, a place for allll the books, and a quiet sitting area (sans TV of any kind). We still can't get over how well it turned out. Shannon calls it the "lady lair" because I can often be found here, reading, pinning, or just drinking coffee while listening to soft music while my ridiculous electric fireplace warms my footsies juuuuuust right. But occasionally I lure him up here too with a good book, or just a nice snuggle. 

new sofa

Our new sofa finally arrived, and it's a cream, cozy dream. When I look back at photos of my early attempts at home decor and design, I cringe a little (ALL the things, ALL the colors!). But seeing this in our more thoughtfully curated space makes me realize how far we've come (less is more), and makes my design-loving heart so happy.
