This week I’m joining in with the My Place & Yours theme over at Meet Me At Mike’s which is:
“Where do you retreat to for that sanity-regaining break? I am interested in what or where in your home your sanctuary is…”
I like to spend my ‘five minutes peace’ curled up on our lounge, propped up with comfy pillows with a good book or magazine and cup of tea. Our lounge is a relaxing and peaceful room overlooking our front garden. I was adamant this room was not to have a television or any other distractions as I wanted it to become more of a quiet retreat. See others’ responses to this theme here.
that does look like a peaceful spot. i miss having a tv-less lounge area, it is nice to just sit in perfect silence!
ReplyDeletethanks for playing along with my theme this week :)
Hi Amanda..tried to email you but couldnt see your email anywhere?
ReplyDeleteThe paint I used was actual wall paint..water based..much easier to work with. And then I just bought a can of clear satin finish gloss spray and gave it one coat once it dried over 24hrs. Hope this helps x
Oh yes this is the ultimate retreat for me too.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds lovely! 5 minutes of peace are far out of reach for me at the moment, beleive it or not, things calm down when school hols start, bring it on. hmmm book, couch, tea.... yes please!

Pilgrim Lee - thanks for the great theme of the week!
ReplyDeleteI love sitting with a cuppa and a mag or a great book, like you do.
ReplyDeleteGlad you like my gingerbread house. It was quite easy and Leonie had a set of cutters that made up the roof, sides and front/back of the house. Very easy!! Fun too!
Brilliant idea to have tv-free room. Everyone needs somewhere quiet to relax. Leigh
ReplyDeleteMy sanctuary is at my writingdesk when the words come well and the story flow with ease which is not often but when it does it's magic. Your blog is charming and I'll visit again.
ReplyDeleteWarmest regards,
Simone.
Thanks so much Simone - I'll have to pop over and visit your blog...
ReplyDeletePsst there is a little award for you to collect at my blog x
ReplyDeleteThat's such a wonderful spot!
ReplyDeleteAt the moment, I like to retreat to my craft room, which is just off the lounge room, so I still feel really close to Benny and the puppies, but it's just full of all my favourite things - so just being in there makes me smile.
I love my bedroom. I can hide away in there xx
ReplyDeleteOh a lovely soothing spot! I love that cushion you have there!
