I have a secret place where I go that no one knows about.
Until now.
It’s my private library.
It’s not large but it holds volumes.
And there are many stories within.
When I look around I am surrounded by
WORDS.
Words may just be my favorite thing.
Writers share things with me here that they don’t share with their closest friends.
I can’t remember a time in which words weren’t important to me.
I can find it all in this little sanctuary of mine,
humor, truth, sadness, reality
psychology, education,
biographies, poetry, fantasy
gardening, cooking, interior design,
and the list goes on.
All books are welcome to come and share their words with me.
It’s just a little place.
Five by five.
But it works.
There is even room for some art.
There is space for my leopard covered chair,
and a little side table.
A pretty tea cup and some motivational books are always handy.
I think my love of color may come from the book spines.
I do occasionally order an online book,
but I always miss seeing and looking at the cover,
and the ability to look up at my books and remember that story.
I even have room for a few accessories.
I always hope maybe just a little bit of Shakespeare rubs off on me.
Just a bit.
My son gave me this little silver box
with these cards in it that you can write what you wish for.
These are my sons words and at that moment his wish for himself.
I had been wanting to get a dog,
but I can’t do anything without researching it first.
So, after extensive research on what type of dog to get.
I decided on a malti-poo.
But I have always loved the look of the
Cavalier King Charles.
I bought this painting before Priscilla adopted us.
You can also see my collection of Mary Kay Andrew novels.
So if you only have a tiny room
you can still have a library,
if you want one.
There is only one problem.
I have more books than will fit into this space.
I think some bookcases are in order.
You thought I was going to say donate – didn’t you.
Do you have a little reading space in your home?
I like to see my books out and about.
To me my books are part of my decor, a big part.

Absolutely love your little reading room. The books and art are timeless and beautiful. The leopard chair and accessories are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteWe have an area upstairs that will be made into a little library soon. It's on the agenda.
That looks so cozy, Patty! Beautiful touches throughout. Thank you for sharing.

Redo It Yourself Inspirations
Love it!
ReplyDeleteI love it! It's amazing how even a small space can be transformed to a special space. My favorite spot in my house is the nook where I have my chaise right by the window where I can read or surf the net on my iPad. It's so nice having a little space for some quiet time.
ReplyDeleteThis tiny room is fabulous!!! What a cozy spot to sit and get lost in a book. Love this!
ReplyDeleteMary Alice
So cute!!! Books are some of my favorite "friends"! It's perfect!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness I love this space. I want your wonderful old canvases. The chair is perfect!
ReplyDeleteThe books, the shelves, the tea cup and the crown, wow absolutely wonderful! How’s the chair, of course I love it. Thanks for sharing your lovely library!
ReplyDeleteSebastian Chuter
Patty, I don't think I've ever seen a closet dressed in such finery! With such an eclectic wardrobe of good reads, pretty teacups and lovely wall art, who needs a Parisian boudoir? Très chic, mon ami!
ReplyDeletePoppy
Poppy, I thought about adding some drapes to the wall behind the chair, but I thought it might be too much. Now after reading your comment I think drapes might work perfect with a faux window in the center.
DeleteWhat a wonderful space! It conveys peace, coziness and serenity. Thank's for sharing it with us!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love your library space! It's cozy and elegant. Love how you have it decorated with beautiful artwork, a teacup, and some pretty decorative items as well.
ReplyDeleteAmazing room! I love books, too. The first thing we added to our new home were custom bookshelves in the living room and the master bedroom. One can never have too many books!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely want to come read there.
ReplyDeleteThis is just so sweet, Patty. I really like that it is so private and cozy. I do have a little spot in our sitting room, just a little corner with a comfy chair and a tall bookshelf & lamp. I really think that is all I need.
ReplyDeleteOh, this library is a wonderful place! Thank you for sharing it with us~
ReplyDeleteLuving it! TY for sharing - def like my books in sight as well.
ReplyDelete"A room without books is like a body without a soul."
take it from Cicero if you will =)
Oh my word, this space is absolutely amazing. I love it. How cozy and fun. Thanks tons for linking to Inspire Me. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteI love love love your awesome little space. Books are my best friends, too. This space is a beautiful inspiration!
ReplyDeleteJenni
What a wonderful corner….and I love the leopard chair
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful, cozy space. Very clever!
ReplyDeleteI am visiting your blog today from your link on My Romantic Home. As a librarian who owns two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, you can see why I'd appreciate this post. Love it!
ReplyDeleteSo cozy! Makes me feel like I've stepped into a tiny corner of a used book store and can just get lost in another world for hours. Thanks for sharing your little hideaway!
ReplyDeleteJeannine @ The Concrete Cottage
Love your cozy reading nook. Books and dogs……..I hope you own the book, LIVING WITH DOGS. If not, you must get a copy.
