A Cozy Nook
Do you read Apartment Therapy and follow their home tours? I saved this image today because I love it so… it’s from the AT Chicago site, Melissa & Henry’s Small Live/Work Home Tour, and I wanted to highlight it because it’s a funky space with lots of personality. I especially love this cozy nook…
This space belongs to Melissa Agostino and Henry Tyminski of Sali Tabacchi in Toronto. This makes me want that little vintage botanical chart on the wall now… I love the pink tones combined with the wood, don’t you? And all the books and that pretty Fire Blanket box, which looks vintage, is nice too.
Do you have a cozy nook like this in your home where you have books, a place to read them, etc.? I think we all need our little corners, don’t you?

i love apartment therapy! i read that blog avidly just to be inspired, and they often have some great tips about interior decorating.
i’m hoping to someday buy a really comfy chair for a reading corner – i already have the space planned out i just need that chair…

The print is indeed lovely, but the industrial shelving and cardboard boxes leave me bewildered.

Who couldn’t use floor to ceiling shelving? I love the warehouse vibe going on with those shelves. Fun!

i love this home tour. i always find small spaces inspiring, as i live in small home myself. my favorite part has to be the geometric designs on the windows. it really makes an otherwise unusable wall look like a piece of art. great post!

I am in the process of creating my girls playroom, which includes a super-cozy reading nook. I’ve taken on the theme of Outdoors Indoors. I am so happy with the way it’s turning out and my girls love it too!

I love nooks. They are places to dream, do and relax. Their nook is really sweet.

I love creating unexpected mini-libraries by lining hallways, foyers, and (if there’s enough room) staircase landings with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves. Instant coziness, even if it might not qualify as a nook! http://tinyurl.com/mwrjv6 Thanks for the great post – I missed this Apt. Therapy tour.

This space is so pretty. Nooks are the best! I’ll be selling some vintage pastel biology charts in my shop soon, so keep your eye out! They are pull-down ones like the one in this lovely nook!
