Mrs. Lisa’s reading corner

I have always wanted a cozy, comfortable corner all my own for reading and relaxing. I blame my mother’s dear friend, Patricia. You see, she and her husband have this lounge-y type room that is part of their master bedroom and I used to think that was the coolest thing, even as a kid. And as a grown-up, I’ve always wanted one for myself. We almost built one in one of our houses, but, you know as well as I do that contractors don’t work very much on their own homes. That plan was out the window like so many others! Well, now I have a corner that could be used for just this purpose. I don’t have a whole separate room, but, I do have a corner of my office. And my office, is, after all, my favorite room in the house. It’s the one part of the house that is all mine and I have a nice, empty corner in it that is going to be just great when I get done with it. I have to get some boxes out of the way and I’m going to find a nice, comfy chair to put there. And I think I will get a floor lamp, unless I can actually fit a small end table there. I will need to change out these curtains in here, because they are completely awful. It’s really just a sheer under-curtain, and it is falling off of the wall. That just won’t do. I might like some wood blinds in here, because I would like more versatility with the amount of light in here. On days when I have a headache and just want to cozy up in my chair with a good book, I’ll want it a bit dark in here, except over the book, of course. But that is what the floor lamp will take care of. I think I might get a shaggy rug for under the chair, too. Oh! You know what I could do! If I have enough room, I could put a dog bed next to the chair, and then when I cozy up in here, Lucky can, too! This is sounding better by the minute!
