The Nook

For my birthday this year - Josh, his grandpa and his dad worked together to build me a window seat!

I have been wanting a built in-type thing for a little nook we have in our house. It's kind of an awkward space really, but I felt it had potential and I love the idea of a little reading nook.

The box opens up for storage as well so now, I will be able to hide crap....I mean...store stuff in there in a neat and organized way:) Yes.

Anyways, it's a work in progress as I still have to cover it with some fun fabric. And we have to put back some baseboards - but in an effort to continue blogging even though things aren't "quite perfect" I am putting up some pics.

I really need a curtain for this window, but for now - am so enjoying the home made labor of love from my man!

Here is what the area looked like the day we moved in. Note the awesome doily curtains from the previous owners.



And here is the new and improved nook of awesomeness! (area not quite complete...but close!)
