It's time again for Carly's Monday Photo Shoot. The subject this week is what Nap Time means to each of us. My favorite place to curl up and take a quick nap is this chaise, which occupies a sunny corner in my bedroom. I'd wanted a chaise for years, but nothing ever felt quite right until this one, which is incredibly comfortable. I bought it at Crate and Barrel several years ago, but I came very close to not getting it. I loved it from the moment I first saw and sat in it, but I thought it was too expensive, and accordingly I held off buying it, thinking maybe it would eventually go on sale but one day...poof...it was gone. When I asked, I was told that it was no longer available because C&B had discontinued carrying it. I kicked myself for not buying it when I had the chance, and for several months I searched high and low for something similar, to no avail. However, apparently it was quite popular, and later that year, they brought it back. As soon as I discovered it was available again, I bought it. I've never regretted it. Sick kids (who shall go unnamed), recovering from having wisdom teeth removed and other events requiring a bit of TLC, half grown and feeling too old to spend the night with Mom, have nevertheless been comfortable spending a night or two on that chaise, within earshot should they need anything. For that comfort alone, it's more than paid for itself. It's one piece of furniture I can't imagine being without, no matter how small a place I eventually move into. It has a plain white slipcover, but I throw different quilts over it, depending on the season, and I usually add a comforter and pillow for good measure. For the winter, it's this red and white quilt, with a red velvet pillow and red woven throw for a little extra comfort.
Here's what it looks like in summer and fall:

Your quilts are as wonderful as the dhaise!!!!
I've never slept on a chaise but you make it look and sound extremely comfortable!
Sooooo Comfy Judi. I like the summer look but with grandsons and pet paws, it would never last at my house. ;) XXOO
Oh Judi, that chaise is screaming to be curled up on!! I hope you get to do it on a regular basis!
I love how your house changes with the seasons.
Hi Judi :)
What a beautiful little area to nap in! Just a little corner of the universe all your own! :) I just love the red and white quilt, such a lovely pattern! :) Thanks so much for doing the MPS assignment this week! :)
Always, Carly
Cozy looking nap sites! I could so nap there!
Looks like a great place to nap! I simply adore that red and white quilt! :)
That does look like a quite comfortable napping spot!
I can't quite tell from the photo - what is the pattern on the third quilt?
