Mantelpieces

I'd love to have an old house, with stunning fireplaces and other period features. I've had to make do with shelves, above the TV, as a kind of fireplace-equivalent focus!

I particularly like these two mantelpieces, very different in style, but both tres stylish in their own way.

The first is from Martha Stewart, and the second is an image from Living Etc.

I wish I could hide away with a good book!

Isn't this just the nicest little nook? (Although I think I'd have added some different coloured cushions!) I found this picture on the Living Etc site, and I imagine that it looks out over a pretty garden. Aah. Annoying day at work today and I'm wishing that I could have curled up on this nice green cushion and read a good book, cup of tea in hand!

No matter, tomorrow is a new day!
