Personal space

— Warwick Sabin

Where I live: I’ve lived in my house in Capitol View in midtown Little Rock for more than eight years. During that time I have been joined by my dog, Scout, and my wife, Jessica (in that order). It’s a quiet, friendly, historic neighborhood that just happens to be in the middle of everything.

Occupation: I am publisher of The Oxford American magazine and state representative-elect for District 33. The Oxford American is a national magazine dedicated to Southern writing and culture.

My favorite space: Our living room.

Why: This is the comfortable gathering place where Jessica and I entertain and visit with friends. More importantly, this is where we can relax, read, nap or catch up with each other after a long day at work - usually with Scout tucked in between us. The sofa is Scout’s favorite place, too.

If I could change one thing to improve this space, I would: Improve the lighting to make it easier to read anywhere in the room. I’m not sure if that would be best accomplished through more ceiling fixtures or more lamps. So for the time being, I’ll have to be content to read in one place.
