is one adorned with something snugly, squishy and fuzzy…extra-large pom poms are an added perk. It’s no wonder this is our favorite place to lounge.
The weather has intensified to a wily state where the clouds cluster and the rain has mustered for an extension of time that feels like an eternity when waiting to plunge into pools with twisting slides that leave children shrieking, then laughing and eventually making them sleep deeply through the night. It is from this point we watch the heavy and mysterious clouds pass by eventually breaking and welcoming the bluest ocean—almost looking like the Aegean…almost.
The mighty ocean still cannot swindle me into taking a plunge, but I have no complaints admiring her perched up in the nest. While I can no longer say we are devoid of the almighty sun, the crisp early morning air still beckons us here. This throw also creates for an enticing makeshift fort—the idea arose since Little Ms Scavenger started climbing these counter stools

to reach for whatever baked-goods her little nose sensed.Her passion to explore is ever-present…a mama has to keep up with her antics. I have a feeling this fort will be up even after the moisture laden sky evaporates back to its customary state, since scaling the furniture will most likely lead to more audacious acts. So far it has been a great distraction to her clambering yearnings. That’s the great thing about a throw—just pitch it where you most need it in your nest.
Although it looks like I am a boho at heart with this look…my dreams drift into a feistier kind of rock and roll spirit of reupholstering with black leather…another time, another nest, another budget. In the meantime, we will burrow under the throw for an occasion snooze in this space I have created. Have a throw that sidles up in more than one place in your nest?

The ocean has such a calming effect. I wish I could get to one more often. Living in Ohio means the only way I can get there is by vacation. 🙂 Great pics!

Thank you. Do you live nearby a great lake? I remember as a child visiting my cousin with a view of Lake Michigan…it certainly looked as grand as the ocean even in winter it’s vastness amazed me. The ocean certainly makes it feel like a vacation everyday…since we rarely travel this satisfies the travel bug inside of me.

We’re only about forty minutes from Lake Erie along Cleveland, but we rarely go to the water. Just the Cavs games. 🙂

At one point we were 1 mile away from Lake Erie…but it never had the same effect as Lake Michigan had on me. Was Cleveland the city that once had a fire on its river? That had to stir up some emotions!

Yes, its been with us for ten years now and it’s place in our current nest couldn’t be more perfect for it. It will continue to move with us as our lives change, it may get a new fabric look one day since it’s supported many bodies even used as a makeshift bed for overnight guest. Thank you for your kind words.

Soft and fuzzy always makes things better. I saw the blanket and knew it would be perfect for the couch and for bare limbs.

Yes I was lucky to have spotted it in the back of Anthropologie in the corner and thrilled that it was not only marked down but there was another promotion for 25% off markdowns! Hurray for me! I don’t see any on the site either…new spring collection instead.

What a fabulous view and a very cosy looking couch! I like really deep, lay down and snuggle kind of furniture with tonnes of cushions and throws. Your pom pom throw is just the sort of thing you’d find in my home too.
