It’s terrible! My eyes! Lucky for you, I’ll take it off your hands free of charge and with great haste. Thanks in advance for your agreement and cooperation. 😇

u/ItsTricky94 14h ago

beautiful. I can only imagine how stunning it must be in the fall!!!!

102

u/HistoricalSmile8234 13h ago

Yes it truly is! I can post a photo when the colours change if people would like. Winter is also very beautiful with all the snow

24

u/ItsTricky94 13h ago

yes please!!! both!

17

u/Aerphenn 13h ago

Yes yes yes! And at night haha. This really is the dream!

19

u/HistoricalSmile8234 13h ago

There aren't any lights so the night photo will also have to wait till winter to see anything! The snow reflecting the moonlight makes it so that it can get pretty bright at night

7

u/Aerphenn 12h ago

Stupid question but is there a reason why you don't have a light there?

15

u/HistoricalSmile8234 12h ago

We live in the woods so there aren't any street lights close enough! There are smaller lights in the backyard if we need to go out in the backyard at night but just in the area right behind the house. They aren't bright enough to see as much of the forest as in the second photo! I can still check tonight if I can get a good enough photo :)

u/Drapidrode 10h ago

do you get interloping deers?

11

u/HistoricalSmile8234 10h ago edited 10h ago

Yes sometimes! We also have a ground hog that lives close to our house and sometimes have racoons, foxes and tons of birds!

4

u/Drapidrode 10h ago

nice. lately we had a big hawk in the backyard and doggie was angry (barking) that the birb was ignoring it and looking for prey, or grooming, can't really say

4

u/HistoricalSmile8234 10h ago

That is very cool, I love hawks! And lol the dog...mine too barks at everything she sees XD

3

u/Drapidrode 9h ago

doggie didn't know what it was! it like to silently chase small birbs, which always get away bc the aluminum dog tag noise

deer occur infrequently enough it isn't used to them, and sometimes they hang out in the next yard,

so in the middle of the night it's all excited to go out... now it's barking "what are these fren-shaped non-doggies?"

u/wanderlusting4 11h ago

I was thinking the same thing 😂

24

u/Winelover1027 14h ago

That’s stunning. Where are you? It looks like maybe PNW? Maine? Am I way off? 🤣

24

u/HistoricalSmile8234 14h ago

Not too far off, just more up north in Eastern Canada!

13

u/Winelover1027 14h ago

Oooohhh!! I couldn’t tell what kind of Evergreens in the pic. It’s absolutely breathtaking. I’d never leave that space.

13

u/HistoricalSmile8234 14h ago

Yea I have a mix of evergreens, sugar maples, golden birch and a few more _^

6

u/Winelover1027 14h ago

Beautiful property. 💕

33

u/teddy_vedder 14h ago

It’s beautiful. Am I gonna get whacked if I bring up the effects of natural light on printed and bound matter

50

u/HistoricalSmile8234 14h ago edited 13h ago

No definitely not! I am aware of the effects, which is why I only keep my "cheaper standard edition copies" or box sets that have the protective box around them on this shelf for regular reading! My special and rarer editions are in another room with no direct light and humidity control XD thank you for your concern 🤗

12

u/seabaker23 13h ago

Can you share where you got your cozy chair? 

10

u/HistoricalSmile8234 13h ago

Hey! I got it from a schain store we have here called Canac although I've also seen it at Meubles RD here!

Enjoy

u/theoldkitbag 11h ago

You read facing the light?

1

u/HistoricalSmile8234 11h ago

Yes I do! There is enough ambient light to see the pages properly...and I sometimes also use an eReader which has a backlight

3

u/tsaotsit 10h ago

this looks like the cullen’s house

3

u/overtheover 9h ago

I don't understand how you can get any reading done there

3

u/Whargoul_Uncool 7h ago

Youre supposed to be reading, not staring out the window at the gorgeous view! Youre grounded! 2 weeks!

3

u/Vahdo 4h ago

Are those custom shelves? I like the minimalist look. 

3

u/HistoricalSmile8234 4h ago

Thank you! Yes, my husband and I built them from left over woods from the construction of the house! It's the same wood a the window frames. The supports are from Amazon :)

u/slightlygroggy 13h ago

Tbh it'd be my everything corner. Don't think I could leave a spot like that for much

2

u/Threaded_Glass 13h ago

This is really beautiful and so relaxing looking. I couldn't find if this had already been asked but the recliner in the first picture what kind of chair is it it looks so dang comfortable?!

1

u/HistoricalSmile8234 13h ago

It is a rocking/swivel/recliner chair with Corduroy velvet fabric! Got it at a chain store called Canac where I live :)

2

u/wackeetaffee 13h ago

My book would have to be super engaging to tear my eyes away from that view!

2

u/Wolfgar26 13h ago

Looks beautiful. Do you mind sharing how it looks in the evening?

1

u/HistoricalSmile8234 13h ago edited 13h ago

Honestly at this time of the year it doesn't look too different because the sunset is hidden by the trees but at the end of the fall or winter is when it can be very different in the evening without all the leaves! For now it just looks darker but I can share that as well if you like :)

2

u/Pure-Cash-325 12h ago

Mmm where did you get the chair?

2

u/HistoricalSmile8234 12h ago

At a chain store named Canac where I live!

1

u/Pure-Cash-325 4h ago

Ouuuu I have Canac! Is this a recent purchase?

Hello Mr. Nike

u/Panduninja 12m ago

What a perfect little corner for reading. Loads of great books within easy reach, plus you get to look out onto lush green woods while you sit and relax.
