Celi from the Kitchens Garden issued a wee challenge to those over 5, 000 strong followers to do a post about—- Where You Write.
As you can see my little office is upstairs with our spare bedrooms–one of the things I love to do is research for Genealogy so I have tons of material which I have collected on both sides of the desk.
Besides two bedrooms there is a small sitting room—whereby I love looking out the window.
The grandchildren love this upstairs space…spending hours up here when they come. The interesting thing about all that is it took YEARS for them to even want to come upstairs let along SLEEP up here–I don’t know what changed for them, but they love it up here now. (Sometimes too much…running and jumping on beds is NOT a good thing 😦 )
My little office is private, calm, and personal. Allowing me a small bit of quiet to fuel my imagination. A place to get away from it all.
Love,
Linda
There’s something so cozy and special about attic rooms. I love the window. No wonder you’re so inspired to see beauty.

You have a beautiful calm space to work in, and I love the unusual angles of the roof. This was such a great idea of Celi’s! I feel like I’m visiting with everyone 🙂

It does doesn’t it. I liked your spot, complete with a book waiting to be read.

Actually, that cookbook already has plenty of sticky spots in it, and I was searching through for something new to try: River Cottage Gluten Free. Such lovely recipes!

Nice quiet room. Mine is in a one-story, isn’t as secluded and I can hear everything that goes on in the house, so sometimes I have to get my shooting ear protectors and wear them to keep out some of the sound, especially when the daughter is visiting – it gets LOUD then.
I’m a genealogy nut too. Do you ever get on Ancestry.com?

I use ancestry, but oh, my! It is getting expensive.

Yes it is Linda. I’ve considered ending my subscription, but I have years and tens of thousands of records tied up in it, so I just can’t bring myself to dump it.
If it gets much worse, I’m going to have to download all information and do that anyway.

They’ve raised the price to $345.oo for the whole she bang…it’s way out there for me. Like you have been with them ever since they began…what a dilemma.

Looks like an inspirational space. Did the grandchildren think it was haunted?

They must have, I really don’t know. I would ask them, but I only got BIG EYES. So I never pushed them. Then they got to coming up here while I TRIED to write….saw it was a fun place…the rest is history.

I love being in the centre of things but your quiet calm space calls to me. You have lovely light, and a view. More geneology research is on my when-I-make-time list. Sad to hear the costs are increasing as I had put off subscribing until my available time warranted it.

I always wanted an attic room…until I had to sleep in one when it was 100* out….but I love you private space. I turned the spare bedroom into an office a few years ago…I have a good office chair and a “reading rocker” with a good lamp beside it. It’s painted a warm yellow that is both cozy and calming.

It can get hot up here. But I have fans and fans work. Although, when we have company they have to sleep in the front bedroom where it’s much cooler.

Aren’t ‘where you write’ places perfect for getting away from it all? Mine has a gorgeous view down the valley. And on the occasion a pheasant might fly past .. lucky me.

Love the attic room. Cozy and comfy. Nice that the grands finally get it how much an attic space can be fun. I wish I had one but no such luck. They don’t come standard on trailers. 🙂
