I don’t know about where you live, but here in MI we are still waiting on Spring. It rained every day the past week and there are major flooding problems everywhere. Half our area has declared a State of Emergency. Thankfully we haven’t had any problems at our house, but the lake is creeping closer, that’s for sure!
My kiddos have been going a little stir crazy being stuck indoors, we have been building lots of forts and reading all our favorite books. Which made me realize I haven’t shared our rainy day reading nook with you all yet!
We have a long narrow hallway upstairs, which is not my fave, but after going in circles with our architect, he finally convinced me that it just had to be. Although, he made me feel a lot better about it by suggesting we tuck a cute little window seat at the end.
So glad we did, it’s a tiny little bench but it’s the perfect size for my kids to snuggle up with a good book.
Strawberry Shortcake books apparently require some serious concentration…
Even my decor is trying to make the best of this awful weather –
Don’t you just love this cute pillow? It is so soft and well made – I got it from one of my favorite Etsy shops, Parris Chic Boutique. Alyssa makes the cutest pillows and accessories for your home. I definitely have my eye on a few more pillows I want to add to my ever growing throw pillow hoarding obsession collection. Stop by and see for yourself what other unique things she has in her shop, you can also find her on Facebook!
I’ve been working away on changing up this little hallway and will be sharing a fun furniture re-do later in the week.
Here’s hoping “the sun will come out tomorrow”!
Official stuff – The fabulous pillow was given to me to try out and review but all opinions of it’s cuteness are entirely my own.

Love little nooks! And window seats of any kind. Made extra cute by your little munchkin all snuggled up in there :)
Love your little nook and your daughter looks so serious reading her book, cute. I hope the weather starts to behave for you guys.

Thanks so much Leslie, it’s such a cozy spot!
Thanks for sharing! Funny how a GRAY space can brighten up a GRAY day! What color are the walls painted?
You are so right! The walls are actually Benjamin Moore Bleeker Beige.
Hi Kelly,
This looks just perfect to snuggle up in on a rainy day (and we have lots of those here in Seattle!). Your colors are lovely and so calming. Happy Monday! xxleslie
Thanks Leslie! Wishing some sunshine your way too :)
wow, I love that nook..Pinning this
Thanks so much for the pin!
Fabulous! What a great place to curl up and read! :)
Thanks Shayna, I’m tempted to curl up there every nap time myself :)
Beautiful! Who wouldn’t want to curl up with a book here.
Thanks, I know I would like to more often than I get to, but the laundry beckons…
We had a wonderfully warm and sunny day today after a very cold weekend. I hope you soon get a lot of sun and the area gets dried out!
Thanks Jill! They are talking 70’s this weekend whoo hoo! Finally :)
Hello!
Wondering if you would pretty please share the wall color here?
Ack! Nevermind, saw the answer in the comments! :)
Ha! Glad you found it :)

So pretty…I just love it! We had a bay window seat when I was a girl and I just loved curling up there to read. Your reading nook is even better!
Thanks so much Lisa, love bay windows – cozy spots are the best :)
My I ask where did you get the silver lining sign…love it and love the nook !
I got it at a cute local store called Bluebird on the Moon, she has really great unique stuff in there every week so unfortunately that’s not much help since it was the only one :( but I love it too!
Adorable!! I’m dieting to know where you got the silver lining sign! Our house is needing some positive affirmations!
