My reading nook.

-
It's no secret that I love to read. I have read over 500 novels to date! So I've always dreamed of a space of my own that's filled with books. ;)

When we moved into our home, it had this tiny space upstairs with no purpose. It was perfect for my little library.

Finally this summer I was able to check it off my list! I was originally wanting a built-in bookcase but $$ so we headed to Ikea instead! We got these Billy bookcases for $60/each. Magically they fit side by side, like they were made for the space! 

 (The crazy thing is I'm missing about 20 books that people are borrowing! I'm still working out the final layout once I get them all back.)

The wall opposite from the bookcases was bare and needed a little something extra. So I added a gallery wall. This wall was a perfect spot for one! I wanted the space to feel elegant and fun.  I chose gold accents and pieces that went with my theme. This gallery wall is everything I wanted it to be.

Lastly I needed a perfect place to curl up and read a good book! I found this chair on Wayfair.ca and I love the studded details. I wanted to add a fun pineapple pillow to brighten it up. I found it at Indigo!

Are you an avid reader? What are you reading these days?

Thanks for reading! :)

Well hello there!

Hello! My name is Megan. I've blogged on and off (more off) since 2011! I am a wife, mom, follower of Jesus, lover of fashion, makeup and traveling. This will be reflected in my posts and they will contain a little bit of everything. I also am an M.S. "fighter." My hope is to raise awareness and also encourage anyone who is fighting an autoimmune disease! I got married at the ripe old age of, ahem 19. As you can imagine I got some interesting and sometimes unwarranted reactions. "You're engaged?" " How old are you? Do you know how high the divorce rate is?" " I would never let my daughter get married that young"....yada yada yada. But thankfully I didn't listen to what anyone said! I have been married to my husband for over 6 years and haven't regretted it for one second! I have 2 beautiful boys, Noah (3) and Levi (almost 2) and a puppy named Tucker!  This is my beautiful, complicated and often crazy life.

     Wow time really got away from me the last couple of months. I had meant to post about this a LONG time ago! Here is a recap of my trip to Carlsbad/ San Deigo, California! This was the first time I had ever left my kids, but it was a great recharge for me. I got to tag along for a work conference for my dads company.  Kudos to my husband for totally nailing it at home. And also my dad for winning an award! (At the awards dinner) Carlsbad, California  We stayed at the Omni La Costa Resort and Spa in Carlsbad. Its over 4500 acres in total and has a few golf courses. To be honest it felt like its own little town. There were multiple restaurants and a shopping areas, along with over 8 pools! Not going to lie though it was COLD. Like I was shivering without a jacket during the day cold...definitely not the warm Californian escape I was expecting. HA! But I really can't complain because it was a treat to see flowers and palm trees in the winte...
