Cool Writing Desk And It's All Mine

With school, work and writing I desperately needed a space to keep all my various laptops, tablets, books and other paraphernalia.  So here it is.

It's already mess, but it is being used a lot...in fact I'm using it right now to write this post lol.  The only down side is that it is in my book nook so I am constantly being tempted to go grab a book and read instead of study or work...lol  Happy Reading Everybody!

Painting Update

Look what my insanely talented Mamma is doing for my birthday!!!!

So awesome!!!! Can't wait to see it finished...have I mentioned how much I LOVE my book nook!  Happy Reading Everybody!

Books And Fall And Happy

FINALLY!!!!!!  I have finally gotten all my bookshelves up and most of my books up on the shelves.  I have also found all my fall stuff, so yeah my book nook is looking pretty cozy.

Now all I need is a comfy chair, a cozy blanket and a tall dark and handsome man to bring me wine and coffee and all will be perfect in my new little happy spot.  Happy Reading Everybody!

Perfect Curl Up Chair

Now that I am back home, I get to continue to work on my never ending quest for the perfect book nook.  Today I need to find the perfect chair to place in the center of all that great bookiness.  Let's explore some ideas shall we?

Blue Book Chair

One of my fire house book club chica's found this for me...unfortunately I can't find an origin place for it so if anybody can tell me where to find it...

Amelie French Country Grey Literary Script Tufted Accent Chair

Besides having to learn French, I love this chair because of it's unique yet classic shape.  I also like that it is a bit more neutral so I can repaint my nook as many colors as I want...and with my love of change that is probably gonna happen a lot.

Hollow Chair

A comfy chair with the added bonus of not having to get up to start my next book!

Isaac Chaise French Chaise

Sadly this discontinued chaise lounge would have been the perfect combination of comfort and style for my nook...of course if I bat my eyelashes hard enough maybe I can convince them to bring it back!

Cuddle Circle Lounge Chair

How incredibly comfy does this chair look?!?  I can totally see myself curled up in this with my fuzzy blanket and a cup of coffee reading the hours away...and it's red so bonus!

These are just a few of the zillions of awesome chairs that are out there.  Of course with money a consideration I will probably have to reign it in, but a girl can dream.  Let me know if you have any suggestions.  Happy Reading Everybody!

Reading Room Green

Hi folks.  Super quick post...I'm sure you are all sick of my house stuff by now, but I had to show you this really quick.

This is the color of my book nook and it is seriously for real called "Reading Room Green".  Seriously though how absolutely awesomely perfect is it!  Happy Reading Everybody!

Pack, Clean, Work Repeat

Hi All,  Just gonna make this quick 'cause this is moving week!  If I don't get a whole lot up this week it's probably because I have already accidentally packed my computer more then once.

There will however in the next couple of weeks be ramblings galore, pictures of my boxes of books, endless speculation on my new nook book and the occasional side post about what ever.  Anyways I will see you all next week in my new book nook of awesome, ready to blog about books until I fall over.  Happy Reading Everybody!

Planning My Nook

Are all sick of hearing about my new house yet?  You are?  Well tough teeheehee.  One of the coolest things about my soon to be new house is that I have a whole area to my own personal book nook/library.  I am in the planning stages now so here are some of my current inspirations for what will soon be the most epic of book nooks (some of these might have been seen in previous posts...but that's ok 'cause now there for a purpose).

My favorite part about this one is the tree.  I also like the built in little desk to maybe write my super awesome blog on.

So this is probably closer to what will actually happen at my house, a comfy chair shoved into the middle of as many bookshelves as I can cram into my space.

Soooo....I'm pretty sure my Hubbin won't mind if I open up the floor between the stories to make this right...

I wonder how hard it would be to build a day bed right into the book nook?

I would love to add some cool architecture to the room, just for a little uniqueness.

These are just a couple of ideas to add to my ever changing idea of the perfect reading area.  The best part about owning the place is I can pretty much make whatever modifications my budget and know how allow so WOOOHOOO!   Happy Reading Everybody!

Book Garden

Hello All!  Mother's Day is just around the corner and since many of my memories of my Mamma include working in her numerous gardens, here are some idea's to add a literary twist to you garden.

Book Planters

A unique way to use old books

Book Bricks

These bricks add a unique twist to your garden

Literary Signpost

This DIY signpost is perfect for any literary garden

Alice In Wonderland Garden statues

These statues bring a bit of whimsy to the garden

Pond Book Nook

Of course no garden is complete without a perfect place to read!

Now everybody get out there and help your mothers in their garden, or kitchen, or studio or wherever it is these amazing ladies need us :-)  Happy Mothers Day to the bestest Mamma ever!

Forest Book Nook

Oh man I want this so bad I would never leave!  I would probably put in some super comfy chairs, a coffee maker and a ton of comfy blankets.

Forest Book Nook

It's an actual library in New York, and it has over 10,000 books stored in the bottom part of the structure.  The windows all open so you can really appreciate the ambiance.  Could you imagine curling up here in all the different seasons!

Does this look awesome to you, or not enough places to plug in a lap top? Would you leave the windows wide open, or enjoy nature from a more controlled enviroment?  When I build my castle should I have a hidden path that leads to this "book tower"?
