Our house is a constant renovation project, but I feel that I have recently managed to turn a couple of corners into feeling more like home. First up is this corner of our landing, which is just big enough for this little armchair which I bought from Ikea especially.(OK, so I found it in the catalogue and then had to go the very next day to get it!) On it sits a cushion I made about 10 years ago from an old fleece dress and a denim jacket that had seen better days, and on the wall is one of my favourite pictures, by Angie Lewin. Yes we still need a carpet and to finish all the woodwork, but this is now a lovely little reading corner in an otherwise unused space. It makes me very happy!
And secondly this wall is in our bedroom, which still needs to be replastered etc etc but it has made such a difference putting some of my pictures on the wall. My favourite is the frame containing the flower and leaf tiles – my dad made the frame and mounted them for me, isn’t it just gorgeous?

I love a little reading corner, specially if there is a bit of natural light.
They look great Jane. xx
What a lovely cosy little corner. You may well find a little girl sitting that chair looking at her favourite book perhaps? Snap too, I also have that same chaor from Ikea which used to be in our bedroom but was brought into the living room for Sophie to have. Guess what? The cats use it instead, oh well we try.

Love your corners! They look so inviting.
I love having little sneaky peaks into other people's homes! The wall in your bedroom with all the pictures is really gorgeous! Sadly, if we had a spare corner like the one on your landing it would only get filled up with "stuff"!

Love the calmness of these two shots... very inviting.
Love your frame assortment - and your bedroom paint colour! So pretty. G
I love your bedroom wall and that little corner reading space is sweet! I'd be very happy curled up with a good book there!
Love it! That blue must be calming. It sure feels good to make your mark on your home.
