Designing a reading nook in your home can be the perfect way to transform an awkward or unused space into a cozy reading nook to curl up in.
BEFORE When we bought our home 7 years ago, the upstairs felt like it was mostly unfinished, other than one room – the guest room. Our first move was to finish the open attic room, dry walling it, and adding electric and flooring. We did that almost immediately when we moved in, and it then became Charlie’s bedroom. In the rush of day-to-day life we ended up leaving the rest of the upstairs mostly as-is, ignoring this large chunk of unused space at the top of our stairs. It became a dumping ground of toys, workout equipment we didn’t use enough, and clutter. Finally, at the end of 2023, I felt ready to tackle fixing the space up. I envisioned it light and bright, with a floor to ceiling bookshelf, housing games and books and creative projects. I wanted the space to feel like a cozy nook, and hideaway from everyday life where we could be creative together as a family. The first step was of course to add skylights! I had installed VELUX skylights in the A-Frame upstate, 9 to be exact, and we absolutely loved the ease of install and ease of use! The skylights are solar-powered, and …

We transformed a coat closet into the laundry space and knew that one day this would be come part of the kid's bathroom. But for the past 4 years, my laundry closet has been right off our foyer which is a little strange. Now we are trying to figure out the best way to incorporate the laundry into the bathroom.
