I’m on a bit of a DIY kick and despite having gouged my shin while painting the floor of our bathroom, I am undeterred. Yesterday I transformed the closet under the stairs into a book nook for my older daughter, who has been asking for a quiet place to read, away from her two siblings.
With some leftover paint from the garage, a rug from Target, some repurposed hangers, a dog bed from Marshall’s, and a curtain hung from a coat rod, I did the job.
A closet filled with camping equipment, an unopened SinuSense (anyone want this?) and an Ab Slide (hello 1991!)
Back corner of closet. More camping stuff, a Roomba and snow sleds.
And after! Slightly more inviting than before, don't you think?
Cuddle corner in the back, formerly space for ski and camping equipment, now a place to cuddle up and read
Books on pants hangers.
Little table for pens and goodies. Hangers for books, fairy lights and a new coat of paint.
Let's Do Nothing! Me, relaxing in the book nook. All I need is glass of wine!
Love this! What a clever idea to use pants hangers as book racks. This makes me want an extra closet to turn in to a book nook! (FOR ME!!)
This is beyond fabulous – I totally want a nook of my own!And the pants hangers as book racks? Brilliant. Just brilliant.
