Wow! :) This is a surprise (there are many good names in this thread). I think that Inglenook originally meant a recessed area near a fireplace - a corner where folks could be cozy and snug and it's always had that warm association for me. There are a couple of exclusive communities named Inglenook so it's possible that the idea of a retreat is now stronger than the connection with a hearth. "Nook" is one of my favorite words, in any case. Thank you!! This is charming, and with flowerpots on the window shelves and a cat on the railing will definately be a welcome retreat. Any place a cat chooses to stay has got to be special. I'm delighted. :) Carolly
