Special places in a home

If you're like me, you feel super comfortable in special places in a home.  Could be that there is a old fashioned booth in the kitchen that just feels great to sit in and unwind.  Sometimes it is a window seat that catches southern exposure and the sun streaks in making you want to curl up with a book.  Often it is just the way you know it's a happy house, and while you're walking through the home...
