My attic room

As you step through the door to my room, my little iron bed is on the right. It's a family piece passed down from great-grandparents. The quilt rack at its foot holds pretty embroidered afghans and knit bedspreads, mostly found on eBay. The tiny white armchair by the bed was a "thrifty" find, and we think the slipcover (that it came with!) may very well be silk. The long-legged teddy was an Easter present this year. Behind the chair is my sewing area, and finally, by the windows, there's the sitting area ("my peaceful spot") with my rockers and books (and a little TV, hidden behind the chimney). The chimney that comes up through the center of my room is just visible on the left. Beyond the lace curtains are tree branches.
The little blue rocker (aka "Rocket" :)) is my favorite chair. She's wearing a pretty pink throw Jennifer found for her. :) I was delighted to find another rocker (almost as comfortable) to match. Beside / behind Rocket is my "Favorites Bookcase" filled to overflowing with some of my favorite books to delight me when I have a moment. Visible on the little footstool is my lap desk, which was an absolutely perfect Christmas present from my mother one year.

As you enter the sitting area, my desk area becomes visible on the left. My computer work is most often done here. The large trunk and branches of one of our beautiful trees are veiled by the lace curtains.


Home is my physical refuge from the world, and my spot within it is such a blessing to me.

Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge...

Psalm 57:1a

Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful.

Psalm 116:5
