A Cosy Corner For Mum  

Here's a year round treat for Mum...create a cosy nook for her to unwind whenever she wants to, surrounded by her favourite things.

Pick a spot in the home where you think she'll love. Relocate the armchair that I suspect has been rooted in its place for like a decade ( I can never understand this ). Find an occasional table or in the absence of one, repurpose a stool for the task. Once you have the table in place,gather her favourite things together creating a vignette.

Get creative! The picture holder you see is actually an old fork. I've bent the tines using needle-nose pliers.  How you wish to curl the tines is entirely up to you....just make sure you don't use Mum's precious cutlery! She can prop little notes or cards on it as I have or use it to hold her recipe card when she makes your favourite dish!

If you're using a lamp with an old shade, why not give it a fresh look? Vacuum the shade  using the upholstery attachment, then glue on trim at the rims. Double sided tape would do just as well. I've chosen a beaded fringe (from Spotlight at Plaza Singapura) and topped that with gimp.

Finally, to pull the whole look together add in a couple of coordinating cushions for Mum to snuggle up with a book or her hobby.....

 

So go forth, be inspired!

Oh and I was confused when I saw your "Mother's Day" post because our Mother's Day came and went a long time ago now. When's your Mother's Day anyway? May?
