Monochrome Weekly: My home office/den on a chilly day
One of the perks to working from my home office, most of the time, is that I have the option of lighting a fire on a winter's day to distract me (I mean make me comfortable) while I work.
That is one of those shots that requires colour in the flames... but then I could not enjoy it like I do your header. Happy New Year, Carver - thanks for long time support.
You have a gorgeous and large fire place and mantel, Carver. I feel sure that fire would distract me a lot of the time what with the poking and restocking.
Thank you so much for your comments. I read and appreciate any and all comments. If I delete a comment it is only because I'm trying to deal with a lot of spam. If I delete a comment which isn't spam, it's an accident so please accept my apology.
NOTE - I have recently had issues where some comments don't show up in my blog but I am receiving all of them through email. The blooger hiccup seems to be fixed but I'm going to leave this note up so I don't jinx it.
The fire makes a wonderful focus in monochrome with all the other textures in contrast around it! Great photo!
ReplyDeleteNice fireplace! Merry Christmas & have a great holiday :)

What a comfortable niche...love the textures. Thanks for sharing. Happy Holidays!
ReplyDeleteOh how I'd love to sit before a roaring fire. Not many fireplaces to be had in Tel Aviv...
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful shot that really captures the imagination.
A beautiful place to work, Carver! Happy Holidays to you and your family! :)
ReplyDeleteI like the feel of this image. I also like the feel of your tongue in cheek comment. Have a happy and prosperous new year.
ReplyDeleteVery inviting. And I'd probably be distracted ...er... comfortable with this setup too!

ReplyDeleteMy feet are so cold right now I just want to park myself in front of that fire and sit for hours. Very nice, comforting scene.
ReplyDeleteThat's one item that is very rare in homes in Singapore. I can imagine how cozy it feels with it fired up during the cold winter :)
