Hey there ya little papasan...

We got a papasan chair!

Ok to preface...we have this strange cubby area in our bedroom that is really hard to decorate if your poor...

..or not really that creative.

So, Hunter and I have gone to Ikea, to Target, to Bed Bath and Beyond...to come up with ideas for this space!...

We found things we liked ...but they are soooo expensive...We almost gave in and bought this chair from Ikea that really was too much ...but we justified it with the fact that we would have it forever ...

UNTIL! We were in Rice Village last week to have some awesome TCBY (1$ cone Wednesdays..YES!) with the Phillips' and we went into Pier 1. Yes. Too-Expensive for newlyweds that are definitely not trust fund babies Pier 1. I like looking...so I drug Hunter in there ..and immediately he is trying to find a place to sit...

...and there...is.. the coolest papasan ever!

I always envisioned papasans as really fluffy oversized looking space-like pods...but this papasan was like revamped. It was modern..it was flippin comfy!

...and best of all ..it was affordable! at PIER 1! Well, being good stewards of our money...we went home to think about it...and got it just in time for good 'ol Edouard! Considering that every channel we have (all 6 of them) were over-covering the "tropical storm"...I read for hours as Edouard did nothing but give us some much needed rain...and give me some much needed book-time. Here is our saweeet papasan! :




Speaking of reading...I just finished 'Four Loves' by C.S. Lewis...

Of course, he is such a good communicator and gives the best literary analogies..but I am not gonna lie it wasn't my favorite book of his.

However, the bits and pieces that were good were REALLY good. Extremely deep and thought provoking...you know classic him. But the rest...I wanted to skim through.

Maybe it might take reading a second time to appreciate...

In other news, Hunter is sicky sick. I am gonna go tend to his aches and pains. :(
