All opinions, however, are 100% mine!
This under-the-stairs area was something we found awkward when we moved in (right). It wasn't the best area for storage and wasn't the most efficient for holding toys. It was too low for decor and picture frames and we had no clue what to do with it.
Once this area became his playroom, however, we quickly noticed Drew taking books and reading them up there and logically decided it would be an adorable reading nook. I'm in love the mini shelves, bench cushion and perfect sized area for him to read. We've also added a motion light up top in case he ever wants to sit in there in the dark and read.
Wanted to also take a second and tell you about a special that Cushion Pros is doing for Our Journey readers. This is where I got that awesome red bench cushion above and you need to go check them out. They are offering 5% off on any orders placed starting today by using the code JOURNEY.
Do you have outside patio furniture that you'd like new cushions for? How about a bay window? What about an awkward sized seating area that you've not been able to find something for?
Cushion Pros is your answer. They can create any shape with hundreds of fabric options or you can even supply your own. Oh and you know I shopped around to find the best deal! Their prices were far better than other similar sites and they ship super fast. I'm impressed with the quality workmanship and sturdy feeling of our cushion.
Summer is coming up and you know you've always wanted to put some cushions on those hard patio chairs of yours or replace the 1970's floral pad on your chaise! And check out some of their adorable patterns. (They have around 1300 options online)
I'd suggest you hop on here, 'build' your cushion and see how reasonable they are for a custom piece. And when you're done, use the code JOURNEY for 5% off your total price!
Just look how much happier he is with some comfy cushioning now....
I love everything about this space!!! I remember seeing it when you first posted photos of the new house and thinking that's a reading nook! Great idea to put book shelves next to it and the motion light? genius! The cushion is perfect with his pillows too! Great job!!
ReplyDeleteThat looks amazing. And we have that big bay window seat in our dining room (now playroom) with the original very ornate Italian fabric on it. This may be a good time to get that upgraded. Thanks for the push.
ReplyDeleteThat looks so adorable and comfy! Love the cusion fabric/color.
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute!! What a great idea!
ReplyDeleteHow perfect is this! It looks like it was made just to be his little reading look and I love how you decorated it all. Nice job!!
ReplyDeleteHow awesome!!! I'm so jealous of his reading nook!! haha =)
ReplyDeleteThat is just so cute! And such a great use of space!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat great use of awkward space! Love it!
ReplyDeleteOk this is seriously SO clever! And adorable! I also can't get over how stinkin' cute Drew is reading in there with one leg crossed haha. What a cutie!!!
ReplyDeleteThat's really cute! Honestly the only other way I've seen that under the stair space used is for drawers. We have a staircase but it's built into with walls on both sides so there's no way to add any storage. I actually might check out that cushion shop because I just got a new office chair and I need a cushion. I could try sewing my own but I'm afraid it won't be the easiest project!
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome way to utilize an awkward space. LOVE how it turned out, and can't wait to see the rest of the playroom!!
ReplyDeletePrecious!! Love it!!
ReplyDeleteI love this. Such a cute idea!!
ReplyDeleteHe looks so darn cute reading in there!! I love what you did with this space- good thinking mama!
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome space! Drew looks adorable and so comfortable :)
ReplyDeleteI would have loved to have one of these as a kid! I had this long closet in my room that had a big storage tub for shoe storage. I used to take my pillows and lay them on top of the shoes for comfort and then slide the door closed and read. I loved it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a PERFECT use of that space! I can't imagine what the builder had in mind for this space because I agree it's pretty awkward for much else.
ReplyDeleteIt turned out amazing!!! love love love it!!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, this is seriously adorable!
ReplyDeleteThis is SO cute!
ReplyDeleteWow, great job! Looks so good!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a cute idea! :)
ReplyDeleteThat looks awesome! How fun!
ReplyDeleteBest reading nook ever! Super cute :)
ReplyDeleteI love that you turned it into a reading nook! Perfect for that, and it is just so cute.
ReplyDeleteThat is SO cute!!
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome! We are getting ready to have a banquette built in our kitchen and will need cushions. Will definitely have to check this company out!
ReplyDeleteThis is adorable! I totally want to turn the bay window in our nursery into a window seat, and this has given me some inspiration. Where are your wall shelves from? They'd be perfect for our nursery, too.
ReplyDeleteThat turned out way adorable----love it!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is SO cute! I have never seen anything like it and I totally love it!
ReplyDeleteThat's a pretty sweet spot he's got there! Do they come in my size? :-)
