Share Our Lives: The Favorite Room in my House
It's the second Monday and time for Share Our Lives. This month we're talking about our favorite room in the house.
My favorite room in the house tends to change from season to season. In summer-- my favorite "room in the house" isn't actually a room in the house! My favorite place to be in the summer is either out on our deck or down on our patio.
In winter my favorite room of the house tends to be our finished basement-- particularly when the wood stove is going since it gets nice and toasty warm down there. Or the living/great room when the fireplace is going.

The other two seasons (spring/fall) my favorite room tends to be my bedroom. We have comfy reclining chairs for watching TV and lots of natural light with our giant windows. My bedroom also holds my laptop, my crafting desk, and I can easily spent hours crafting away.
I hope you join us next month when we'll be talking about our favorite current music.
You have some great rooms in your house and just outside of it. The fact that you have more than one favorite is a testament to how great your house works for you :).
ReplyDeleteAw, thank you!
DeleteThese are all great spaces! I would love the outdoors in the summer and being by a fireplace in the winter.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteMy favorite room in the spring and fall would be my covered patio and then the living room probably in the other seasons. We made sure to have comfortable furniture in our house. We have a friend who told us his wife won't let him have a comfortable chair and he is right - when we go there nothing is really loungey!
ReplyDeleteYes! We have lots of comfy furniture in all the rooms of our house-- not that we always agree on what is comfortable as obviously couches/chairs that I think are comfy don't really fit most of the guys. That happened with our living room! Evan and I went to pick out our new furniture and we both really liked it... only to have it delivered and find that it's much too short for my husband, Ian, and Alec. But none of them wanted to go shopping with me so they had to learn to live with it.
DeleteI love when you post on your desk but I gotta tell you that fire in your great room looks soo cozy- I would love to snuggle up there with a book!
ReplyDeleteAw, thank you!
DeleteI would say my porch too, at least three quarters of the year. We basically live out there. You have some great spaces that work well for you. Have a nice week!
ReplyDeleteI try to use ours for as long as I can but it is definitely a much shorter season here.
DeleteIt's great that you love so many rooms in your house. I wish I had a porch!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteYour home has a lot of lovely spots to spend time in. I love them all! This time of year, our porch/deck are my favorite spots, too, especially in the early morning hours with a blanket wrapped around me and a cup of coffee and a book ready to go!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds wonderful.
DeleteYour back porch views are just incredible! I'd be out there all the time too!
ReplyDeleteAw, thank you!
DeleteMy favorite place in your house is your deck! I love your reading and lunch pictures taken from there.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite place in my own home is my soul homework area, especially early in the morning and during golden hour.
Thank you so much!
DeleteI love the way your books travel with you from one favorite room to the next.

Definitely! I pretty much always have a book with me.
DeleteYour deck/patio looks like an amazing place to spend time, especially with that view over the lake. Your fireplace looks perfect for the colder months.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteMy favourite room at your house would definitely be the patio! What aview!
ReplyDeleteAw, thank you!
DeleteI can see why it's a favorite -- cozy and comfy!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteYou have so many spaces to love, Joanne! I can see why each differs according to the season.

Thanks!
DeleteYou have beautiful rooms, but your summer "room" is my favorite, too! What a view!
ReplyDeleteIt sure is lovely.
DeleteI agree- my favorite room changes with the seasons, too! And I also chose the great outdoors as my favorite room in the summer! It's just so beautiful outside!
ReplyDeleteIt really is.
DeleteYou have all beautiful spaces to enjoy, Joanne! I usually love my front and backyard patios in summer, but this year there are so many drought related wildfires in Colorado that our air qaulity has been horrible, and therefore I have been staying inside with our air purifiers on. In winter I am usuually in the kitchen cooking something or in our family room keeping warm by our fireplace.
ReplyDeleteAw, thank you! I am so sorry to hear about the wildfires. I know you're not the only one battling with that this year.
DeleteRecliners in the bedroom are genius!
ReplyDeleteAw, thank you. I bought a pair for husband's father's day gift one year and they have been perfect.
DeleteI can't wait for our outdoor space to be done. Then I can see that being my favorite in the summer
ReplyDeleteOh I bet you are so anxious for that to be finished.
DeleteWe would say our patio also but it's unusual to be able to be out on it in our summer. But it's such a perfect view for you.
ReplyDeleteXOOX

Oh I bet you use it much more the other seasons!
DeleteAnywhere I can sit with my feet up tends to be my favorite place in the house (:
ReplyDeleteI get that too!
DeleteYour home is so beautiful, which I've always thought when I caught glimpses of it on your blog! I especially love your deck and patio!!
ReplyDeleteAw, thank you so much.
DeleteIf my home was on a lake and/or had that view, I'm pretty sure my favorite spot would be outside as well. Maybe three out of the four seasons! How special!!
ReplyDeleteI try to stretch our outdoor season as long as I can but usually it only lasts from Memorial Day until maybe mid-October.
DeleteI love all Your special areas! I love how you have favorite spots and areas for each season. Me too! I think we should take advantage of all our areas in our homes. It spices things up!
ReplyDeleteAw, thank you!
DeleteWhat a beautiful view from your summer outside room! It’s gorgeous! And so special! I enjoyed hearing about all your favorite rooms. I enjoy different rooms at both our homes as well. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI love how you look over the water Joanne! I can totally understand that's your favorite spot during Summer.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteSame for me! I love my deck in the summer. I just finished the book you had in these pics. It was so cute!

Wasn't it adorable?
DeleteI picked my deck as my current favourite room too! Hahaha! It will be interesting to see what my favourite rooms are as the seasons change.
ReplyDeleteThat does not surprise me at all, Natasha.
DeleteI missed the theme for this month. Redid the label on my parties attended page with your theme list above. I'll now be ready for the 2nd Tuesday in August! My personal favorite room is our dinning room. It's literally in the center of our home. Being an old farmhouse, each renovation it had was added on one end of the house or other. I'm thinking in the beginning, the dinning room was once the living room.
ReplyDeleteHave a fun week.

Oh that sounds so neat! II
DeleteI would definitely be out on the deck or patio all summer, too, if I had that view!
ReplyDeleteThere are days, like today, where it's not feasible (we have tons of excess smoke from the Canadian wildfires) but any time I can I make sure to take at least 20 minutes to enjoy it.
DeleteI'm always jealous of your porch view! I wish we had more space in our primary bedroom for a seating area...I would love that.
ReplyDeleteAw, thank you!
DeleteI knew it!! I knew your summer favorite room would be your patio!! It is spectacular. I like that your basement and family room with their wood burning heat/fireplace are so cozy in the winter. Your bedroom must be huge to accommodate the chairs and your craft space. I have a teeny little loft area outside our bedroom where I craft. Need to get to where I write and read up there, too. It is cozy.
ReplyDeleteWe do have a very large bedroom. It's the size of our kitchen minus all the cabinets so it's quite spacious.
