Nesting

[vaneramos]

We picked up four new used chairs from Aberfoyle Antique Market yesterday morning. They're a lot more comfortable than my set of four bentwood chairs. Now we'll be able to sit the whole family around the dining room table when my daughters visit next weekend.

But here's the breakfast nook. Today we adopted the Ravenea rivularis palm. This is where Danny and I eat most of our meals together. Even my abused old table looks happier than ever.

In the window above my bottle collection djjo has taped some dyed yarn samples to test for colour fastness. It's homework for his Ontario Handweavers and Spinners certificate course.

Oh Van! It's lovely and just the sort of space and decor I adore. I don't have a ledge right now for my glass collection and it makes me sad. If I find any is there a color you are looking for in particular? Sometimes I come across some nice old bottles at our local thrift store.

Oh sweet! I collect blue bottles in particular but obviously not exclusively! The little brownish bottle in the middle is handblown glass I gave my parents as a gift many years ago.

I really like that spot, looks very cozy. Old tables rock.

Agreed. Lots of history. I like the blue bottle collection too.

The place you and Danny share just gets more and more perfect. I'm so glad you made that move, found such a great place and have been able to turn it into a wonderfully comfortable home.
