Reading Corner

For as long as we've lived here (that's three years as of this month - so hard to believe!) we've wanted the corner of our living room to be a perfect reading corner. We bought a chaise lounge and tucked it next to the fireplace, next to two bright windows, but it's always been missing something.

And that something is . . . . light! Shortly after our kitchen remodel, we got a gift card in the mail from Restoration Hardware, completely unexpected. I called them and was informed that when we exchanged some items, we were credited an incorrect amount. They discovered this during a sales audit, and mailed me the difference. 

 So in late march I purchased the light, only to find out it was on backorder. Fast forward two months (if only I could have fast forwarded!) and the light finally arrived. So, after three years we finally had our reading corner.

We love the clean lines and the contrast of the dark metal with the smooth white glass shade, and it looks great with a little edison bulb glowing. It lights up our little corner perfectly - time to find a glass of wine and a good book!
