These pictures are here because I want to look at something pretty. Perhaps you would, too!
I want to cozy up here

I'm imagining this room with some changes to make an awesome, over-the-top bedroom.

Grumpy Rumblings (of the formerly untenured)

I was just thinking our house is missing a cozy reading nook. I was thinking a nice leather chair with a lamp beside it.
That brick wall is amazing. That would be in my dream garden, but now that I know how much time, cost and labor it would take to construct something like that, I’m doubly impressed.

Reading nook looking out onto the garden, even!

Ooo – like the little coffin bed! The green library is a bit bilious.

What wonderful pictures! That little bed in the nook looks incredibly soft. Also, I have always wanted a library with a two story bookshelf. I have seen them in movies, but never in real life.
Thanks for sharing.

I guess I’m feeling too grumpy, still. When I saw that little nook bed all I could think was how terrible it must be to change the sheets!
Here’s what I like to think of when I need beauty:

I guess I’m a nymph at heart. (As in the classical Greek nymph, of course.)

Pretty!

Nook bed definitely for only one person. You would have to climb over each other! Yay nymphs.

I put all of my pretties up on here: http://mutantsupermodel.tumblr.com/
It’s my happy place. :)

PRETTY!!

The man with the moby has got some mad skillz.
And both the bed book nook and the giant library fill me with a covetousness I feel only exceptionally rarely. *le sigh*

I don’t think I could handle a moby– so complicated! Ring sling is about all I can handle.

You found some truly awesome pictures. LOVE it! Thanks for a little spring inspiration today.

You’re welcome!

I saw that bed on Apartment Therapy and also fell in love. It was in a tween’s room. How perfect would that have been growing up. Though, I think I might get claustrophobic sleeping in it, I could handle it as a reading nook.
I’ve been trying to think of a way to replicate this in my own house for months!
