Need a little Nooky

If you’re like me, you love a perfect place to get cozy. After a long day at work, or on a cold day, there is nothing like snuggling up with your cashmere or fur blanket and hot cup of coffee or even glass of wine :).

Nooks are the perfect place to curl up with your favorite book, magazine or iPad for some undisturbed reading time. Spending time in a nook is not wasted time. It is spending some “me time” to de stress, relax, reset and recharge. Nooks take very little space in your home. An unused corner in your bedroom, living room or even kitchen can be turned into a fabulous reading nook and add charm to your home. Let’s take a look at some nooks calling my name.-Kristen

Don’t overlook an entry.

You don’t need built-ins to create your own cozy nook, all you need is a cozy place to sit!

A nook is also an alcove, defined as recess, typically in the wall of a room or of a garden. Ah, an outdoor nook! Let’s think about these possibilities as we head into spring. It’s so vital in this busy world to make time to decompress. Having a space to look forward to helps me make this part of my day. This habit is something I want to pass onto my children and grandkids. A nook, alcove, a spot, a hideaway …whatever you want to call it, I hope you have one carved out somewhere to enjoy!-Laurel
