the kids’ reading nook- a little tour

As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

cozy reading nook in a kid's roomOne kind of crazy thing about a really fast, really unexpected move is that we’re closing on our house in a few weeks and I haven’t even shown you pictures of any of it yet (well, except the wreck of demolition, the in-progress kitchen and the finally finished craft room).

gentry house picturesI kept putting off sharing pictures, waiting to finish all of the things. However, the only rooms we actually finished in this house are the kitchen and the bathrooms. Sometime I’m going to sit down and actually write out the twisty-turny path, full of surprises, that has made up these last two years.

Can’t wait to share the rest of the (not finished) room soon!

    Where or how did you make those bookshelves???
    Love, love, love this space. I’m going to be searching for a place to build something like this in my house.

      Hey Colleen- thank you for the kind words! The little book shelves are spice racks from Ikea. They work perfectly for corralling a stack of kid’s books.
