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. Miss G’s Closet Book Nook by Mama.Papa.Buba 2. Closet Nook for a Brother & Sister by Life with Daugs 3.

Closet envy usually involves admiring another woman’s shoe collection, but I’ve never been into shoes. I am, however, into clever uses for small spaces and it’s been on my mind lately as I look to create a spot at home for my my bedroom-less, playroom-less son to call his own.

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.
Today I’m joined by Megan Schiller of The Art Pantry, as part of our ongoing series of inspiring conversations that center on how to set up creativity hubs, or tinkerspaces. If you’re scratching your head because you can’t figure out where to put your child’s art materials, want to turn your laundry room into an […]
Have you ever considered using your closet space to reimagine your home? This mom is sharing how making use of her home's closets has dramatically changed her kids' space.
Name: Faith Blakeney Location: The Treehouse – Los Angeles, California Size: 750 square feet Years lived in: 2 years I spent a warm Sunday hanging out with Faith at her bohemian treehouse. She is one stylish lady (and, yes, she is the sister of Justina Blakeney). When Faith moved from New York a few years back, she looked at place after place on Craigslist only to get frustrated because she had her heart set on lving in Venice.
My kids LOVE to color and be creative. I’ve always tried to keep a good supply do crafts in the house so they have some creative time. Now more than ever, kids need creative time being out of school and mama needs a little break! ;)
Noen bilder fra Erle sitt rom. Det er så morsomt å ta bilder i speilet. Viser også noen bilder av: Krydder hylle: Perfekt til duppedittene hennes Rød koffer med hjul: Oppbevarer dukkeklær og kan trilles dit påkledningen skjer. "Gullampe"- ja det hører hjemme. Kjoler på veggen, her forstyrret av en morgenkåpe. Ja hvorfor ikke henge klær på veggen?

When we packed up our little Vancouver house and took apart Grae’s beloved closet book nook, I knew I wanted to create another cozy reading space once we arrived and settled in Kuwait. Well, eventually arrived and settled, but the book nook just never really happened. Oops. Until just recently, that is. Over the course of…
