Stop what you are doing and curl up with a book. or just your thoughts.

sigh. I am so jealous of this space.
Everyone thinks that Huge, Large, Big is all the rage.
ah. I beg to differ!

nothing says comfort. snuggle. safe. intimate. quiet: like a Nook.

{house beautiful}

ditto :: {what I would steal from this space}:

1. definitely the windows. to have a window in a Nook invites daydreaming, praying, and endless pondering. And how I LOVE the circular window. Like a porthole to another world.
2. two places to sit. facing. Although you cannot see it in this picture, I am ever so hopeful that there is another seat, just across the way, with the same delightful cushion. Can you imagine having a date right here, in your own home? A cup of perfect coffee and two in their Nook.
3. a small, airy table that blocks no light, but offers just the right spot for your notebook and cup.
4. seats wide enough to pull up your knees and curl into a C. A detail that could be easily missed!
5. hand hewn beams and antique pine floors. They never get old.
6. a colorful and creative and fluffy cushion. Down, no doubt. This detail could be under-estimated, but a fine and brave fabric really does elevate your space to a new level of beautiful.
7. details that ask you to stay a while: the soft blanket and the binoculars. Practical beauty.
8. I am guessing that the curtain off to the left actually closes up to offer privacy from the outside. But I like that it offers privacy to the Nook as well. Why not?
9. Fresh flowers. A creative space is not complete without a touch of true Creation.
