Book Nook

We are big book lovers in this house so when I saw this brilliant book nook I had to share it with you.  What a cosy little space for a small bod to crawl into and devour literature!  Note the white wall cladding and contrasting dark paint colour above the picture rail, all designed to make the nook feel comfortably spacious, yet  intimate.   You could turn an unused hall cupboard into a book nook just like this one... if only an unused cupboard wasn't something beyond total comprehension!

Chaos Theory

I live in a crazy house.  A tiny home that is literally stuffed to the ceiling with a toddler, a husband, Daphne Cat, our "must, MUST have" vintage finds, fabrics, stone samples, books, teapots and so many beaten-up old chairs we have no idea what to do with them all!  From sun up til sun down, life is beautiful and chaotic.  It is our constant quest to improve, rearrange and store all our stuff in a way that inspires us.  My husband and I run our design business from our back sunroom (which on rare occasions doubles as a dining room) so we are passionate about living and working in a space that reflects our style and which promotes original thought... throw into that equation a vocal toddler with his own, very definite ideas on interior decoration!

So I'm always on the hunt for proof that other people manage to live a similar, crazy existence while maintaining their creative identity.  Here is a stunningly original family home that is so colourful, cozy and happy - enjoy!
