Here is what that reading corner looked like before:
The first thing I did was to move the Ikea trofast unit into the Babes' room. That freed up some space for a spot to read.
We had a child sized version of the Ikea poang chair in our living room, so I brought that into Sweetie Pie's room. 
I just put a pink blanket on top of the original Ikea cover so it would match her room (and hide any spots).
I made this little pillow from a fleece vest she had out grown. I just used an envelope type pillowcase tutorial (can't remember where I found it online).
And of course you've already seen the LPS house hanging up next to it. It's such a cute and cozy space now.
Oh, and remember the framed book covers? I had one on the wall and one on top of the bookcase.
We decided to put her CD player on top of the bookcase so I hung up the other framed book cover.
I love this little spot in her room. What do you think?
And no, I'm not done with her room yet. There will be a few more decorating changes to come.
I love the pink! And I simply love the idea of a reading corner. The other day I was looking in a magazine, at an article where someone made a practical improvement to their home--the woman had converted their hardly-ever used dining room into a library (with a table that could be used for eating), and I thought that was the coolest thing ever.
ReplyDeleteI hope your kids get a lot of use out of the new and improved, and beautiful, corner! I also really love seeing those cute book covers in frames on the wall.
That little chair looks perfectly cozy! I think a reading corner is a great idea!
ReplyDeleteSo cute!
ReplyDeleteAdorable! I definitely think creating a cosy reading area encourages those spontaneous pick-up-a-book moments in children :)
ReplyDeleteOh, it's just so cute and cozy! Thank you for sharing this at my Make it Pretty Monday party at The Dedicated House. Hope to see your prettiness again on Monday. Toodles, Kathryn @TheDedicatedHouse
