Most of you know that I love to read. I have turned that love into a nonpaying job! I review books and post my reviews here. Today I want to share my prime reading spot. This chaise lounge is located in my bedroom. See the BLUE carpet? Notice the BLUE throw and the BLUE in the print of the pillow.
Here's a close-up of my print pillow with the touch of BLUE in it. I have two pillows that match the chaise lounge; I keep them in the basket on the floor for easy grabbing.
Here's a close-up of the soft BLUE throw. Although I don't use it often, it comes in handy when needed. I don't know if you can tell, but the upholstery material has a thread of BLUE running through it. That's why everything coordinates.
Check out the Book Giveaways! Happy BLUE Monday!

Great Blue Monday post, Sally. Your reading area and chaise lounger looks so comfy.. I like your combination of blues and purples/grapes --in your color scheme. Beautiful!!!

The chaise looks so comfy and the throw looks so soft and comfy too. I just posted my first Blue Monday contribution, sorry I had to place it behind my Met. Mon. post because I uploaded it first. Thanks for inviting me to join...Christine
Pretty pillow,but I love your lounge.
Very nice. I think a chase is the ultimate pampering furniture.
That is definitely a cozy place to read/nap. I would probably fall asleep often sitting there to read. Happy Blue Monday!
That looks like a wonderful spot for reading. Very pretty.
I started to think of my mother in law while reading this.. and looking at your pictures.. she also loves everything BLUE! :-)
Your chair looks comfy for reading.. and with the throw.. you'll be able to snuggle up and get real cozy! :-)
Have fun!
Monica
Such a cozy spot! I love the fabric on the pillows.
Hi Sally I am leaving for the hospital. Love your furry throw. Will you please link me up today. I can't find him this am. Smile!
Hugs...Jeanne
What a lovely, comfy place to read. I'll bet it's one of your most favorite places in your home.
Happy Blue Monday :-)
Good morning, sweet Sally,
This is a made*for*reading* spot if ever I saw one. It sure looks comfy and pretty. I have a couple of blue, reading chairs, too...
xo bj
Hi Sally
Thank you for Blue Monday. A special place to enjoy what makes you happy. That's a double positive.
Blessings
Marie
I love that pillow, and the throw. It would be comfy to sit next to the window on a cool day and cuddle with a good book. Look out at nature every chapter or so.
~Carlotta~
Happy Blue Monday, what a wonderful chair to do some reading in or just relaxing. Have a super Blue Monday. Thanks for hostessing today Sally. hugs ~lynne~
Ok, this is my first time and I know it is a Christmas post...but, hey, it is blue and I haven't decorated it yet for Valentine's...er, uh, I mean the FAIRIES have decorated for Valentine's yet....
One cannot have too many soft throws, no matter what color they are. We love them in our house!
Have a wonderful day!!
I sure hope Johnny shares your love of blue. lol It is most mend favorite color.
I'd love it is you did a post all about your book reviewing "job."
Girl! you know how to do BLUE! I've been thinking about a chaise for my reading nook... now... I thinkin about it more! looks like the prefect match... hugs. Dixie

Hi Sally,
That looks like a really comfy place to read! That chase looks like you could just sink into it and the throw looks so soft. My Blue is posted. Have a great day!!
Sherrie
That looks like a REALLY cozy reading nook. I LOVE the blue throw. I used to always be hot but now it seems like I am always under some kind of soft throw or quilt!♥
Oh I love comfy throws,and a good book too Sal! I know this will be a suprise to you.....but I have joined the ARMY...please come over and JOIN with me!
Sally,
Thanks for stopping by and wishing me a happy birthday! That was so sweet of you!
I went ahead and linked up to your Blue Monday but you may want to remove me from the link because I did not follow the directions...sorry :( My post was already up and I couldn't put the Blue Monday emblem up there so...maybe next time.
I hope you have a great day!
Happy Blue Monday Sally!It is pouring down rain here in Ala. & this warm cozy post made me want to curl up with a book LOL aww but I must brave the rain for today is sisters birthday, guess she wont be seeing her shadow today LOL
Helen
Cozy, soft and blue !
Have a nice day !
It's beautiful. Looks like a great place to read. The carpet looks almost just like the carpet that was in my son's room when he was at home. The room that later became my sewing/doll room. Brings back old memories.
I didn't do a Blue Monday post today but I've already got one scheduled for next Monday.
Charlotte
What a nice, soothing spot. I'd probably do more napping than reading there! I really love all those blues - I like the lamp, too. Have a great Blue Monday!
Hi Sally, Happy Blue Monday and Happy Groundhog's day! My post is getting up late due to snow clouds, I had a time of it uploading pics through the snow clouds.
I love your blue rug and pillow! What a sweet little retreat!
Bless You, Shirl

Happy Blue Monday Sally
You have such a cozy spot for reading...and that is so important to a good read.
The pillow goes so nicely with the whole setting. Very pretty.
Thank you for hosting this Blue day..

Judi
I love the purple/blue combination. One of my favorites. I just now put up my Blue post. Hope you can check it out.
Good morning Sally, I love your cozy reading area..the colors of blue and purple go good together....mine is posted!!
My husband is so much better today..a few days make a difference with recovery..
Today is also our 41st Anniversary.. I need to post about that..
Hugs, Baba
Hi! I just joined in the fun, thanks :)
Love your room, very glam!! The purple and blues are some of my favorite colors.
Good afternoon Sally, You have a pretty and peaceful place to read. I can see why you like it. I love all of the colors in your room and they would all be ones I would have choosen for myself. I also have a lot of blue in my home. Your pillow is beautiful too! Happy Blue Monday!
Hey Sally!
I love all those vibrant colors...so pretty and a great spot to curl up with a good book...ahhh!
Happy Blue Monday!
Hello Sally and Happy Blue Monday...
Just wanted to let you know that this is my very first time to participate in your "Blue Monday"...I had so much fun posting my seaside Master bedroom! Thank you so much for hosting the beautiful color of blue!
Well my friend, what a lovely reading spot that you have...I love that pretty blue pillow and throw...but my favorite thing about this beautiful decor is your mixing that pretty purpley chair with the blue...the color combination is just gorgeous!!!
Happy reading...
Chari
The combination of purple and blue is stunning. A chaise for reading is a wonderful idea.
That's so pretty and comfy looking!
I didn't do a Blue Monday today -- I got a late start, so figured I'd wait til next time.
I did tag you for a bookshelf meme, though, if you have time and want to!
Hi Sally - I love the beautiful shades of blue. The purple and blue really compliment each other. The carpet is so pretty that I could probably take a nap on it.
Hugs,
Sweetie
It looks like the perfect cozy corner to read in...and you have to have a soft fuzzy throw to make everything perfect!!! Or at least you do here in the frozen north!
Looks very cozy, Sally ~
I think you love blue as much as I do.
Hate to sound redundant but I sure could see myself curled up in that chair reading!! The throw would come in handy when I drifted off to la-la land! :-)
xoxo
Jane
I looks so pretty and comfy that I could snuggle right in.
Happy Blue Monday.
A chaise is such a wonderful alternative to a recliner. The colors of yours are great. Sally
Looks like the perfect place to snuggle up and relax.
Happy Blue Monday Sally!
Hi Sally,
I decided to participate in Blue Monday. I hope I did well...I don't know why it says my name is Kathy again ? lol been that kind of day for me. Your pillow is lovely. And the throw is such a pretty color. Thank you for doing this!
Kathy
