What a cozy vignette!
Two comfortable chairs, flanking the fireplace.
It’s a reminder of the past, but it works so beautifully today.
It’s classic, symmetrical, pleasing to the eye, and it evokes a feeling of tradition and home.
This arrangement speaks back to history, when the man and woman of the house would retire to their chairs by the fireplace to keep warm at night, perhaps after the children were tucked in. The wife would do her needlework, and the husband might read, smoke a pipe, have a toddy.
Can you see it? Can you imagine the comfort it invites?
