I thought for sure we were going to wake up to another big ice day and I was all ready for it. I was planning which books I was going to read and all that good stuff but no, no major ice issues and it was business as usual. I guess that’s ok as I’d rather save vacation days for real vacation but it was kind of nice to dream about an extra day for reading.
That made me think of these beautiful cozy reading nooks. I think one of my favorites is this attic renovation. I love the big window and the light color paint. Which one is your favorite?
I finally bought a reading chair last year so I was able to turn a part of my studio/library into a reading nook. I still need to add a lamp and maybe a little, bitty table would be nice so I could put a cup of coffee/tea on it.
What I really need to work on though is that when I’m deep into bookbinding my poor chair will have papers, rulers, etc. stacked on top and rather than organize I just move to another part of the house to read.
Anyway, what about you, do you have a reading nook or what’s your favorite place to read?
I have a few places I can retreat to for reading. I have an Adirondack chair out on my front porch when the weather is nice, a chaise lounge out by the pool, and a big two-person LayZ Boy chair in the living room. Too bad I never sit down and take advantage of my spots!
They all look fantastic 🙂 I’d love to curl up in the under the stairs nook though. Oddly, one of my favourite spaces to read is on the bus – I love the feeling of getting lost in a good book while shutting out all the noise and chaos around me.
Love your chair! I like that attic renovation reading nook too. My nook is in a corner of the living room, we call it my reading nest. I have a chaise in front of a window, pillows, a quilt, and a small table piled with books and just enough room for a cup of coffee or tea. Oh, and there is a lamp too for night and cloudy days.
I don’t really have a perfect place or chair where I most like to curl up and read but our sofa works great when the head pillow is in just the right spot and I have both dogs beside me. The light is great in that room and we can see the neighborhood through the windows.
I love the fabric on your reading chair! Lately I’ve been reading on my LazyBoy but this is only good if I’m home alone. I really need a cozy chair elsewhere for when hub is watching TV.
No more ice days!! I’m just ready for spring to be here.
Nice chair! It’s so pretty. I’ve been reading everywhere lately but my favorite place to read is on the couch in my living room. We have a bay window so it’s nice to sit there with all the sunshine coming through.
I love the idea of a book nook! For now, it is just my recliner. Although, I do have a comfy chair next to my bookshelf in my room, so I might just have to turn that into a full-fledged nook.
Love my recliner with a small side table on one side and a nightstand on the other –both piled with books.
I don’t really have an official reading area. I know where I WANT it to be, but I have to get the right chair for that and I haven’t yet. Where we just moved a few months ago there have been other things going on that are more important!
What a lovely space and comfy looking chair–I could happily sit there and read! I am afraid I have nothing so nice–I actually get most of my reading done outside of home–either at the gym, or on the bus or even at work on my lunch and breaks. I want to buy one of those rocking chairs/gliders–not sure where I would squeeze it in as I don’t really have the room, but I like the idea of reading in one!
