Corners

I wanted to do a corners of my home post and was looking around for a corner you all haven’t seen ad nauseum already (is that redundant?).  This corner is in our bedroom and I took about 800 billion pictures and this is the best I could come up with.  I seriously need a new camera.

One would think having a fireplace in the bedroom would be all swoon worthy but honestly we’ve had a fire in it maybe three times in the six years we’ve lived here.  It smokes which really ruins the ambiance.  I would love to get an insert for it and just have fake logs in there.  The gas is already piped in so I would think it would be pretty easy.

About a year ago Rick was looking in a fireplace store near his work to check out glass doors.  He pointed to a very plain one and asked how much it was.  $5000.  For that much money it better come with it’s own personal woodsman to cut wood and stack it on our back deck.

I wish I had a better picture of the Paul de Longpre print above the little chair.  I love that print.  I saw it in a little shop in Grass Valley and my friend went back and bought it for me for my birthday a couple of years ago.

I should take the glass out of the frame – I think prints look better that way.

The print above the fireplace I bought at Cost Plus about 15 years ago for about $10 and spent $150 framing it.  At a do it yourself place – I can’t imagine what a professional would have charged.   I have no idea who the artist is but it’s an urn filled with flowers and I find myself trying to replicate the colors when I plant the pots out on the deck.  All pale pinks, blues and yellows. 

Well there you have it – one poorly lit corner of our home.
