Book Nook and Picture Lights

This past weekend I reorganized our library bookshelves and moved all of our children's literature to a special corner nook in our living room.  The little stool is Dan's from when he was little.   We will probably use it as a "naughty" chair but for now I picture our nephews or our future little ones sitting on that stool pouring through the many books I've collected over the years. 

I have NEVER been a fan of overhead lighting.  I much prefer the cozy softness of indirect lighting.  So Dan put up my picture light on our Lombard Street Kinkade that we bought on our honeymoon in Maui.  This painting always reminds me of visiting my Grandma Hurst in San Francisco.  Dad would always drive us down Lombard Street in our huge fifteen passenger green Dodge van.  Good times!
