Finishing touches

Finally I have finished doing everything I needed to in the house, we have been here six months - time has gone so quickly. A man arrived yesterday to fit the headboard in my daughter's bedroom and my window seat cushion in the book room so now I can just sit back and enjoy it all. I think I will sit reading a biography of Charles Dickens by Claire Tomalin that I have just started. What are you reading? I am hoping it will inspire me to spend 2012 reading all his novels, I should start with a Christmas Carol as soon as possible, anyone care to join me?

  5. This looks wonderful, Justine! And the window seat so very inviting! What an interesting reading project, and I think about joining in, although my reading time is very limited at the moment. I think l'll put "Christmas Carol" on my wish list for Christmas and will start with that one, too!

  8. Oh Justine, your home looks absolutely gorgeous! I just love what you have done! - can you believe six months has passed?? wish I could be there to see it all. Pleased to hear that you have time for some reading, in your new library space. I have just finished reading "The Elegance of the Hedgehog" by Muriel Barbery which I have thoroughly enjoyed, have you read it ?? Please show more photos of your new home!

  9. A perfect place to sit and read and I'm sure your daughter loves the new headboard and photos. I will make a good effort to read A Christmas Carol, too...the biography sounds good, too. Have started Major Pettigrew's Last Stand..

  10. I read A Christmas Carol last Christmas- I like it because it's quite short (I find Dickens a bit hard) I attempted to read Oliver Twist because I thought I should read it- but never finished. Maybe a Dickens biography would help.
    I'm reading "The Help"- really enjoying it.

  20. I am insanely jealous of that window seat! What a lovely spot to read. Dickens has given me fits over the years (Little Dorritt drove me away from an English major in college), but I have always loved A Christmas Carol!
