Reading Nook Update
Today, I am excited to share a little reading nook update with you! I am kind of getting back to my roots today! I started this blog because of my love of home decor and switching up different areas in our home.
This space was kind of created after I rearranged the living room (read it here). I love sitting and relaxing here with a cup of coffee on the weekends while Dominic plays with John Paul. It's just so cozy.
I thought this reading nook needed a little update so that's what I did!
BEFORE:
Dominic was just sitting playing and watching me in my element which was just the sweetest thing to witness as he watched me do something I love. I always hope to instill in him to follow his dreams and to always pursue things he loves to do so I am so happy he gets to watch me do things that I love!
Anyways, I digress...I love all the old and chippy and vintage pieces I have collected over the years so I wanted to bring some of them into this space. I left the sign up from Penelope's Lace as the 'anchor' because I love the quote! When I rummaged through our friend's old attic, I also found this old broken window pane (found some fun ones HERE) and grabbed it thinking I would do something fun with it. I thought it would be a great statement piece to layer behind the end table and chair. Some of the panes of glass have fallen out, but I think it just adds even more charm.
Next, I hung up this old washboard (found some fun ones HERE) that our friend also gifted to us. It's missing one of the legs, but again, no worries on my end, I love the character!
Lastly, I wanted to create some dimension and really bring the space to life. I hung up these mini locker baskets and stuck some greenery in them. I think it is the perfect pop of color and the greenery adds some nice natural elements to the otherwise heavy objects.
I love that I have kind of created a little gallery wall of sorts around the reading nook. It really gave this space a fun little twist and I was able to use a lot of pieces that didn't really have a place in our home. Being able to create spaces in our home using items we already own is such a fun challenge for me and I love seeing all the ways I can reuse pieces to create a new look!
