All a little reader really needs is a book, but a soft place to curl up, a light and maybe even a bit of privacy doesn’t hurt. I love the trend of repurposing kids closets as reading nooks. You can keep the door to make a secret reading hideaway or take the doors off to make small rooms seem bigger. Here are ten examples to inspire you: TOP ROW: 1.

Tee Hee :) My kids are sleeping in soooo late after our late 4th of July evening. I think I will snuggle in my bed so I don't wake them. And I've been wanting to post these photos anyway.... A month or so ago I pulled all the clutter out of the under the stairs storage. I added some blankets and baskets of books and called it a reading room. Then last weekend I was itching for a project that had nothing to do with cleaning, cooking, folding, playing with the kids or working out. (Since those 5 things seem to be the total extent of my summer thus far.) I planted a few flowers outside, then turned my eyes to the "reading room" I started grabbing whatever I had in storage. The paper chains from Lydia's birthday. White lights from Christmas. Part of a birthday banner. Darling banner from Anabelfuzz on Etsy. (I want to plan an entire playroom based on this banner.) Thought I'd frame this cute Etsy print I've had for a while. (Can't remember which shop now.) Found the yellow frame for a dollar at a yard sale. Cut up a pretty thank you note and rummaged through the "paper chain" paper for scraps. Look mom! I'm a scrapbooker! Grabbed a sign from the Goodwill pile that never quite worked in Lydia's room. Collin's flashcards from Anthropologie. If I could do this room exactly how I would like, I would do it in primary colors, totally gender neutral. But we aren't going to be in this house long enough for Collin to notice that it isn't boy friendly. He likes it fine. I threw in an Elmo pillow for good measure. I love creative messes! Cool handmade dry erase board and matching art piece from my handmade swap. Someday I will have them up by my desk, but for now, the kids can borrow them. Thank you Shannon! View from the inside. If I was a little girl, I would want this as my room! Oh wait. Lydia does. All done. Now back to the cleaning, cooking, folding, playing with kids and working out. Except, I really have been wanting to do something fun with the study..... Hope everyone had a great holiday! Ours was perfectly wonderful.

There have been a quite few projects in our house that have lingered on for years. Projects that I have left half complete. The ones that have been missing the finishing touches for far longer than I care to admit. One of those spaces was our under-the-stairs closet turned playroom. After over a yea

A couple months back John redid a closet for a local reader, Nicole - or more specifically for her daughter Friday. He did a fully customized design that includes a cozy little reading nook, so I thought you'd like to see! Here's the Before: This is a pretty typical bedroom closet, with just one high shelf and a hanging bar. As you can see there's all KINDS of potential space in there, though, especially since Friday doesn't have many clothes to hang. After we visited to take detailed measurements and get a wish list from Nicole, John drew up this blueprint: You can see the closet space extends beyond the wall opening on either side, so there's quite a bit of hidden storage, especially on the right side beyond the hamper. (You have to remove the hamper to access it, so those three shelves are for slightly more long-term storage. John built and painted everything at home, and was so dang fast this is the only process shot I got: He made everything from MDF, which he then painted white. Next John rented a truck to get it all to Nicole's, where the install only took a few hours. First he removed the old shelf and bar: Then he slid all his pre-made pieces into place, screwed it all together, and anchored it to the walls: OooOOoooh. That solid section on the bottom is the side of Friday's new book shelf for her book nook: Ready for the final reveal? (This is my favorite part!) Here's the Before again: Aaaaand After! Ahhhh. Don't you feel more relaxed just looking at this? The plan was to add a curtain over the reading nook with a tension rod, so that's probably installed by now. Just adds a little more privacy and coziness for Friday. John installed all this when Friday wasn't there, btw, so later her mom sent some pictures - and she said I could share with you bots, yay! How awesome is this? Nicole told us Friday's reaction was to immediately crawl into the reading nook and not come out again for the rest of the evening. Can't ask for better than that! Here you can see the interior bookshelf, which Friday had already decorated, awww: This makes me so happy. This build was really all John; from Nicole's very first e-mail he was just so excited to take this on. My only contributions were a few suggestions in the design phase, and then I got to sit back and watch John turn into a happy productive blur. Once he gets going on a build project he likes, there's really no pause button, ha. I hope this gave you a smile, and maybe some inspiration for your own closets. And thank you, Nicole & Friday, for trusting us with your space! **** If you're in the Orlando area and need help with home-related things: interior painting, repairs, organizing, design, etc., then please e-mail us. It doesn't have to be a big project, we like little jobs, too! Especially if they're for someone who can't afford to pay a pro right now, so feel free to nominate a friend or family member who's having a hard time. (We work for free, and only accept payment for material costs.) We are insured professionals who can replace or fix most things, love to organize, love to paint interiors, and REALLY love a good geeky design challenge. So hit us up! ***** Or if we're your kind of peeps and you'd like to help support me and John, then you've got lots of options: share my posts, browse my favorite products on Amazon, leave encouraging comments, buy a t-shirt, or even donate to us directly through Paypal! (I've heard your cries, btw, and I'm having John upload this design with an orange Epbot, too. Should be up tonight! Like all our shirt designs, you can choose from different colors and fits.) Just your being here is helping, so please never feel pressured to do or give more than you can or want to. I love you lurkers out there! Thanks for sticking around. P.S. It's up! Y'all were right; the orange is better. :) I also had John tweak the blue stripe so it's a little more blue.
