In a home of small quarters and high energy little humans, finding a quiet space to ~~hide~~ relax away is sometimes not in the cards. However, when I saw this emerald beauty for $15 at a flea market, it was demanding a place in our home. We moved the hanging chair out back to the yard for spring and summer use, and moved this guy in. It set the tone for a corner to curl up in, and has been used for multiple hours already.

Here’s the breakdown of the 5 square feet we manage to keep clean;)
Emerald Chair (Flea Market)
Initial Hooks
Tassel Pillows c/o
Blanket Throws c/o
Hex End Table
Big Sur Print
Picture clasps
Floor lamp c/0

I usually start and end my day here with a little reading, maybe a good mag, and maybe a good marg. (wink) It makes such a big difference to have a small space that you immediately relax in, even if the rest of the house is a mess!

I would call in sick to the office, brew a pot of coffee, get a good book and stay here all day.
(on an, admittedly, petty note – it looks like a lot more than 5 square feet. 5 feet by 5 feet is actually 25 square feet. But this does not make me want to curl up here any less)

The tassels on your pillows are just fantastic! And the green velvet is divine – what a great flea market find!

What a wonderfully cozy looking nook! That chair is super cute! Well, the whole space is, actually. 😉

Since we had bought our home almost 4 years ago, I had been pining for such a nook in our master bedroom. Just recently, I was lucky enough to score a secondhand tufted Lane recliner for quite a steal. So now I at least have the chair, lamp, and side table. Next are the extra cozy add-ons!

And it is so true about how nice it is to have even such small square footage to be able to retreat to!

This looks so lovely and cozy. I think everyone needs a little space where they can relax for a bit.
