We did not have any nooks in our last apartment.  In part this was because our old apartment was itself more or less just a nook.  Plus, we had a huge closet that we actually had to use for storage (I know!) instead of turning it into a special sub-room or something.  Anyway, that is thankfully not the case with the new place!  Now we’re in a corner apartment with lots of cross breezes, trees outside our windows (it sounds like an aviary when we wake up in the morning), and loads of windows.

If you need me, I’ll be eating strawberry shortcake and drinking iced coffee in my new nook, book in lap and sunshine through the windows. It is convinently located next to a west facing window, near the kitchen, with a comfy new chair and our little basil seedlings.   Yes, this is going to be a lovely spot to wait out unemployment.

Now, if only we can get our art up on the walls…  a good project for the weekend I think.
