Reading Spaces: Porch Swings
While hammocks are certainly easier to fit into a backyard space (especially if you get a stand for it) a porch swing would be nice as well. I’m a big fan of the ones that are so oversized they resemble a hanging bed – would be the perfect place to spend a lazy summer day! All images via Houzz
Reading Spaces: Welcome June!
Happy first day of June and welcome to the unofficial start of summer! Sharing some summery reading spaces today that I’d love to spend an afternoon in reading a good book and enjoying a glass of lemonade – the perfect summer day! All images via Houzz
Reading Spaces: Home Office Inspiration
This weekend is shaping up to be another busy one, but I am so excited because I bought a new bookshelf for my garage office! So I can finally try to get the clutter under control. My garage office is not nearly as glamorous as the ones I’m drooling over below, but we all have to start somewhere, right? All images via Houzz
Reading Spaces: Traditional Window Seats
My Reading Spaces series is back by popular demand! Even though I haven’t been writing this series, I’ve been saving a bunch of inspiration for Reading Spaces posts so don’t you worry, I’ve got even more dreamy book nooks on deck! This week I’m keeping it classic and focusing on the traditional window seat – the reading space bookworm dreams are made of. Enjoy! … Read More Reading Spaces: Traditional Window Seats

Reading Spaces: Dark and Moody
It’s finally starting to feel like winter here in San Diego. The skies have been grey, the temperatures cold, the nights foggy…it even rained a bit this week! All this wintery weather has got me leaning towards dark wood and moody home libraries. I hope you enjoy this week’s Reading Spaces, which is a departure from my usual light and bright spaces!

Reading Spaces: Happy New Year!
Is it too late to wish everyone a Happy New Year? Yes? Well, I’m going to do it anyway. I hope 2018 brings you all the books you want, the comfiest places to read them in, the most delicious cups of tea, and the most tolerant of significant others to turn a blind eye to the piles of books slowly overtaking the house. Happy … Read More Reading Spaces: Happy New Year!

Reading Spaces: Holiday Homes
The holidays are here! My house has been decorated since the day after Thanksgiving and I am loving the extra sparkles, pillows, and twinkle lights that have temporary taken over my living room. It makes my reading space feel extra cozy! In this week’s Reading Spaces, I’m sharing some of my favorite festive ideas! All images via Houzz

Reading Spaces: Fireplaces
The holidays are officially in full swing! Depending on where you are in the world, it’s probably cold outside and maybe even snowing. While it may not be that cold in San Diego, I wouldn’t mind having a fireplace to curl up in front of with a new book to discover! All images via Houzz

Reading Spaces: Secret Passage Bookshelf
I don’t know why, but whenever I see a bookshelf that slides or swings to reveal a hidden passageway or room beyond, I always think of The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe. Which makes this Reading Spaces post kind of holiday appropriate since the children cross over into a Narnia that is frozen in perpetual winter. All images via Houzz

Reading Spaces: Reading Perch
I always look forward to the holidays. Not merely because they’re fun, sparkly, and overflowing with tasty eats and drinks, but because everything slows down just a little bit and I can manage to squeeze in just a little bit more reading time. I’ve been reading very slowly this month, but with two bookclub books due (that I have yet to even start) I … Read More Reading Spaces: Reading Perch
