Comfort Corner

The carpet is thick, soft and cream coloured, while the walls are a yellow bronze colour. In the corner along one wall there is a large sofa, able to seat 4 or 5 people comfortably. Along the other corner wall there is a smaller sofa for 2 or 3 people. In the middle of the furniture, there is a low, round coffee table, perfect for colouring at or for other craft activities.

There is a scratching post and a cat tree for climbing, which are both along the wall opposite the couch. A few fluffy beds have also been put out, in varying sizes, in case any one prefers the floor. There is also a large sturdy perch and a marked off area that says "Landing Pad" in case any winged friends want to visit.

There is now a blue chaise chair in the nook as well, which has been placed near the couch and is good for both sitting and spreading out lengthwise. There are also two armchairs; one an oversized, deep gray leather chair, the other a square fabric armchair in deep blue with light purple swirls on it (Think this style except not grey).

There are two baskets off to the side. One contains fuzzy blankets, a variety of fuzzy and textured pillows, and a collection of stuffed animals while the other contains a variety of art supplies, ranging from colouring pages and blank paper to crayons and coloured pencils, and more besides.

We are enjoying them greatly.

I think they'd make a terrific choice for work -- a flavor that everyone should recognize and many people like, but in a different format. They're quick and easy to make, other than needing to bash up a handful of candy canes.

For stress relief:

Place candy canes in a sturdy ziplock like a freezer bag, and seal.

Wrap in a dishtowel.

Place on a sturdy surface, like a floor.

Pound with a durable tool such as a mallet or meat tenderizer.

I crushed mine on the countertop with a marble rolling pin, so I needed to be a little more careful. But with a few minor changes, you can flail away with greater abandon!

*bow, flourish* Happy to be of service.

I've pounded a lot of things, so I've learned some of what works better.
