Do you have particular spots in your house that you are drawn to? I have a few … this is one of them.
It always feels that there’s a moment of calm here. It’s not specifically the photo of my parents on their wedding day, nor the fall leaves in that deep brown, glazed pitcher, nor the rusted tin crow – it’s all of it and how it just sits together. It’s a confluence of things that somehow ties my life together, and it’s a spot which, when things start to pile up on the chairs, gets cleared and cleaned quickly.
It feels like fall in this little corner of my world, and at times like these – a week so filled with work that I can sometimes forget to go out to the road and get my mail – it reminds me that Home is a good place. The beauty of fall is happening outside; I took it all in yesterday on an appointment I had to keep, and hope to take my camera to enjoy it again this weekend. But meanwhile, fall is happening inside, too.
Years ago, while applying to art school, I briefly considered a degree in architecture (though that would have meant I’d have taken and done well in physics and/or chemistry.) I later realized it wasn’t architecture that most attracted me; it was the inside spaces of the building … interior design. It was creating little spots like this, spots of visual retreat and harmony, that inspired me.
Goethe once said, “He is the happiest, be he king or peasant, who finds peace in his home.” I believe he was right.
Still A Dreamer 
Being I am also a lover of nature and special places in the home, I give this post two thumbs up.

Thanks, Cynthia. The workload has lifted a teeny, teeny bit, so I may even be able to squeak a post up again sometime soon.
Peace is a good thing. 🙂

It looks like fall in that corner – it has all the glow of the display outside, with a light all its own.

I love special places in a home, or any building. That is a beautiful spot in your home.

Thanks, Lavinia.For some reason your note made me think about how much I’ve always loved visiting the historical rooms in museums. In either the Brooklyn Museum or the Metropolitan Museum of Art – it was a while ago – I remember a completely restored and reconstructed actual log cabin. Makes me want to go back and see it again.
