The Little Nook

We're moving house next month and the new place has a little room of the lounge/dining room which has got me excited. It could become a bland, messy dumping ground only entered on the way to the basement or it could be somewhere precious.

Here are some ideas I'm playing with for The Little Nook....

What about an art space where Miss O and her friends can happily write on the wall!















Le Jardin de Juliette have a great idea for a washi tape car track. The possibilities are endless for the wee villages you could create for your little ones' imaginary playtime.

It's only right that The Little Nook has a reading nook. Miss O has always enjoyed books and a comfy wee private space just for her would be part of nurturing her seedling love of literature.

And a beautiful gallery of precious art is a must - I really like this corner curling display!


















I would love to hear your ideas for The Little Nook in our new home.
