Book Nooks

Have I mentioned that I adore books? I think everyone needs a great space to curl up with a good book and a cup of tea.  Especially when the weather gets dreary like in the good old northeast where it has reverted to winter. 

I saw this image and wanted to pull it right out of my computer screen. I'm already planning to make my leather chair and ottoman into a cozy book reading corner. 

And then I saw this fantastic use of space! How killer are those shelves painted in deep navy? Clearly no  pets or children live in that house or there wouldn't be a vase on the floor, even though it looks great. 

Hello rose velvet daybed! Not sure how I feel about the books crammed into the fireplace...lends an artsy touch to the space but how do you tell what books are stowed in there?
