Reading Spaces: Classic Libraries
by Shannon Fox
Is there anything better than stepping into a traditional home library? You know the type. Lots of dark wood, persian rugs, antique furniture, and wall-to-wall books. Since it’s pouring rain while I’m writing this, this week’s reading spaces is dedicated to the perfect place to curl up with a good book on a dark and stormy night. Rolling ladder and bottle of brandy not … Read More Reading Spaces: Classic Libraries
Reading Spaces: Unusual Bookshelves
by Shannon Fox
For the longest time, I’ve always described my personal decorating style as beachy glam. Lots of white, blues, and greys with seaside and metallic accents. Recently though I realized that there’s such a thing called Transitional style and that pretty much describes my decor as well. Houzz has a nice definition of Transitional style here. Because of my style preferences, I’m a big fan of … Read More Reading Spaces: Unusual Bookshelves
Reading Spaces: Children’s Room
by Shannon Fox
One of my very good friends is having her first baby this summer. And that’s got me thinking a lot about how raising child is so different than when we grew up. 1995 is roughly considered to be the year the internet really became a thing for the average consumer in America. I was five years old at the time. We didn’t get an internet-connected … Read More Reading Spaces: Children’s Room
Reading Spaces: A Towering Pile of Books
by Shannon Fox
I was sick recently and how I passed one of the days consisted of rearranging my bookshelves and creating my TBR stack. I posted a picture of it on Instagram here, but the pile is about 3 feet tall. It’s definitely become a problem in the last year or so that I have more books than fit on my bookshelf. This was the result both … Read More Reading Spaces: A Towering Pile of Books
Reading Spaces: Window Seat With a View
by Shannon Fox
When I was last in Colorado, I went hiking with my boyfriend at Chautauqua Park. We followed a girl on the trail up between the first and second Flatirons until she left the trail to tuck herself onto a rocky perch overlooking the valley below. With a book. That girl hiked half a pretty challenging trail just to get to the ultimate reading spot…my kind of … Read More Reading Spaces: Window Seat With a View
Reading Spaces: Teal Painted Shelves
by Shannon Fox
I really like white and grey. And I mean, I REALLY like it. But there’s just something so pretty about a painted bookshelf! If I could ever be convinced to brighten up my shelves, I might go for something like this beautiful teal. This week’s Reading Spaces is dedicated to gorgeous teal bookshelves! All images via Houzz
Reading Spaces: Rainbow Bookshelves
by Shannon Fox
I’ve always liked how it looks to organize spaces by color, whether it’s clothes in the closet or books on the shelves. The fact that the books wouldn’t be organized by title or author doesn’t bother me. I have the Kallax bookshelf from ikea so I’ve loosely organized each cubby by books I’ve read and books I haven’t….and then stacked them like tetris so I … Read More Reading Spaces: Rainbow Bookshelves

by Shannon Fox

Reading Spaces: Coastal Window Seats
by Shannon Fox
My mom and I have always harbored a not-so-secret desire to come into possession of a house with a window seat. So it’s only fitting that I begin my new series, Reading Spaces, with a round-up of amazing window seats! When I’m not reading or writing, I’m busy with my day job – working in real estate! I see tons of beautiful spaces (and … Read More Reading Spaces: Coastal Window Seats

A Very Writerly Birthday
by Shannon Fox
Yesterday, I turned 23. As you might expect, when your birthday is that close to Christmas, the two holidays kind become of extensions of each other. Usually they’re pretty split 50/50. This year, I noticed I definitely got more writing related things for my birthday from friends and family than for Christmas (which is not a bad thing either way, just an observation). I … Read More A Very Writerly Birthday
