... mmmm, a cup of comfort... anyone?

 hello darlings,

   how about a cup of comfort for this Friday & the weekend ahead?

  a hot drink, some pieces of dark chocolate & slices of my favorite

  German "Stollen",

 were my treats after another day of soup eating.

 Not that I dislike soups in any way, to the contrary, actually {love them} for the winter,

 but try eating the same kind of soup a few days in a row

  &

  you'll possibly notice that sense of boredom

 The frozen sunshiny days seem to have left our region

 and rainy weather is thriving again... 

 Guessing what that means?

  time for candles, candles & more of them even during the day to

 warm the light & atmosphere in our environment,

 much like {then}...

The pictures are taken in what will one day be our dining room

& my little studio corner.

It in fact is a room mostly made of glass,

or else a winter garden,

connected to the kitchen area,

having an outlook to some neighboring houses & the woods

In our current & quite temporary arrangement,

 there seems to be an unusual amount of color 

for my standards,

but then this room will see many faces & phases,

till it's done, so why not?

 ; )

Here's some little help for you to start taking an idea...

Other than placing our new {table} & a {bench},

this room is rather undone & in serious need of :

1 ~> new floors to be placed

(temporarily stored under our couch & bed,

 which were bought from {this} company)

2 ~> 5 more jalousies like the one just temporarily placed,

to dress the 6 vertical windows in a row,

so that we have more of privacy when wanted

& 

some extra isolation against the cold that indeed is brought

inside during the winter

3 ~> a curtain,

 whose {fabric} is already chosen & sewn, 

to be placed on the side of the "window" wall 

(not seen in the picture)

4 ~> a little desk shelf for my individual work corner

5 ~> cables for pendants lights to be placed by an electrician

so that they "fall" above the dining area

&

actually quite a few other details, it rather makes no sense to mention,

when all the room is not properly displayed

in time though my friends...

in case you are looking forward, just imagine my own anticipation

... other than that, we have been also very much

enjoying the light of our new lanterns (one in white & one in grey)

and occasional meals,

while covered in blankets ; )

here is a shot made on the 24th of December,

when we first used our new table & room

for breakfast

 and here is one more shot taken this afternoon,

 a little before sundown when rain was pouring...

I kinda love this moody light...

I think...

      make it a great one my dears!
