When my daughter moved to her own apartment, I started changing her former bedroom to be a guest room for my granddaughters to sleep over. Occasionally my daughter will still sleepover. (Especially after we stay up late watching the Batchelorette ) My granddaughters are 11 and 8 and they were thrilled to see the room taking shape. They would even do a little re -decorating moving pictures around and adding small bowls of scented soap. I adored how much they loved it. The window has a small ledge in the dormer of my building and they would pile blankets and pillows to make a reading nook. So this spring I ordered a custom pillow and a few more toss cushions. The pillow arrived today and so now things look like thisβ¦
Hi Nancy! What sweet thing to do for your Granddaughters! I love the striped seat cushion with the coordinating pillows! Great color choices. The perfect little nook for reading and relaxing! Simply Lovely!
Thanks Maria. I can’t wait to see their reaction. I am giving the youngest sewing lessons on Monday so that should be the first big reveal.
Once I get the closet doors on ( That’s a whole other story.), I will share pictures of the complete room. Have a marvelous weekend!
Lovely little nook!
Thanks Leticia! My daughter-in-law’s name is Leticia too π
What an adorable little reading nook Nancy! Your granddaughters are going to be thrilled you are creating such a pretty space with them in mind. P.S. I am a Bachelorette fan too. π
Thanks Tonya!
I was on your site earlier…love the bedding in your room! I think the guest room is really nice too. You have great taste!
Looks like this season of the Bachelorette is going to be interesting! π
Thank you so much!!
Yes, I believe this will be one interesting season too. What would Chris Harrison say? “The most dramatic season of the bachelorette EVER.”? Lol.
Wow Nancy, they are going to LOVE this! Window seats are magical and yours is so pretty.
Thanks Amy. I think I am fulfilling a childhood dream as well! I have always loved window seats. I can’t believe I’ve waited 15 years to do this in this window. I am still nervous that the dust and dirt from outside may make this impractical but I can now open my window from the top down so I am hoping this will save me from too much laundering. Have a lovely weekend!
I love window seats in general. And I love yours. I also have a bay window seat, and I really like itbecause you can lift up part of the seat to store things. I use it as a linen closet. I just can’t put any comfy pillows or decorate it, because my little toddler runt throws everything on the floor
Thanks Hanh! I wish mine could be used for storage too. Ah yes! I remember the days when my children were young and nothing stayed in place for long. Now it is my 3 year old grandson who loves things on the floor! π
