Rise and Shine

I had a very hard time getting going on the workweek today. My mind and body wanted to rush back home and spend the day at a slower pace.

I think this room from Elle Decor would be the perfect place to do exactly that. I can just picture myself spreading out the newspaper at that table, then reclining on those thick cushions to read a magazine or a book, with the pup curled up at my knees. All the while -- and this is a key detail -- sunshine would stream in through those glorious windows.

Not a bad way to spend a day, huh?
