Reading Nooks

I've been thinking a lot about creating a reading nook for my son in his new big boy room. Now I'm just back from Pinterest with some great inspiration:
I love this little reading nook. So lovely, sunny and tucked out of the way.

I think I'm definitely going to attempt the next one. I would have loved one of these when I was a kid. I had to settle for the floor of my closet and a flashlight.

Finally, I love this comfy little spot.

Before and After

Last month, I posted photos of my home and asked for opinions on what red to paint my front door (previous post). After everyone weighed in and after careful consideration, I decided against all of the reds that I had up and we went with a really deep brownish red called "Miso" from the Martha Stewart collection (I love Martha).

Well....unfortunately, the so called "brownish red", wasn't exactly red in real life, but more of a deep purple. Fortunately, I love the color and I think it actually looks great with our red brick. Tell me what you think...

Before

After

The pictures don't quite do it justice. I promise you, it is purple. My husband thinks that I did it on purpose because purple is my favorite color. I assured him that I did not.

For better or for worse, the for sale sign is in front of our home. We are hoping that it sells quickly. Send me your good home selling vibes. We could really use them right now.

Have a Happy Day!
