For as long as I can remember, I have always wanted to have a bedroom that was big enough to allow a little sitting area. My current bedroom isn't that big, but by using an old closet, I have created a very intimate and cozy nook for myself. Come take a look!
The previous owners of our house built a walk-in closet in the master bathroom but just left the old closet open. For awhile, it held my dresser but that was about it. We moved the dressers into the closet and this is the perfect little nook. We brought in a chair and a table and I decorated it in my favorite romantic style.
My husband hung my antique 3-paned window for me and I draped a swag of frosted pink roses over it. He also randomly hung my sweet little mirror hooks. The one on the right holds my wedding veil and I draped the veil over my lamp.
My French graphic table fits perfectly in this little space. The large pillar candle is the unity candle from our wedding. My dried wedding bouquet and a picture of Cody and I on our wedding day is the perfect little vignette for this table.
I need to paint and reupholster this chair. But until I get around to doing that, I have covered it in some very light pink shabby curtain panels. The ruffles really add to that romantic feeling! A sweet neck roll pillow makes it look very inviting.
The lamp gives this space a very romantic glow. I can't wait to find a good book to lose myself in while sitting here! Any suggestions for a good read?
I think the only thing I would add to this little space is a few more pictures, an ottoman to put my feet up on and a luxuriously warm blanket!
This picture shows you just how small it is. But I think it is absolutely perfect! I can't wait to finish up the master bedroom soon so I can show you all!
Total cost of this little makeover=NOTHING! Had it all....it was just waiting to be put to good use!

I adore this little space! It looks so cozy and comfy. Very pretty and feminine.
What a beautiful spot, and a great use of space! I love the vintage window, and the fact that you used so many treasured mementos. I agree, an ottoman would be perfect!
Pretty pretty pretty, Trisha! You truly created a sweet space! Love the use of those ruffly curtains. :)

Your soft and cozy spot is incredibly inviting. Visiting from CLH.

It's perfect!
You have created a very pretty reading nook . . . I just found your blog and I've been going through a few of your posts. I love the wedding cake that your mom made and those two little birds on top, are the perfect topper. Unique and whimsical and something that no one else has had. Great job!
I truly enjoyed my visit.
Connie :)
I could sit there for hours reading and drinking coffee. What a beautiful cozy corner.
Such a sweet little area--I love it! Looks like a great little spot to read a book (or in my case a magazine). TFS!
Very romantic! It looks very relaxing, and I like how you maximized your space.
Blessings from OK,
Meredith
It's just lovely and what a great use of that space!
I love how you decorated your nook. Very beautiful and a little space to escape to is wonderful. take care, Darlene
Love your sweet and cozy little nook!
Hi Trisha, I'm back and I'm following. Thanks for the sweet visit and the sweet comment.
I think that you would love making your owe cards . . . you have so many soft and romantic ideas, that would compliment a lovely shabby Victorian card. You know, back then all the cards were homemade using, ribbons, buttons, lace, paper dollies, etc . . . It fits your lovely blog to a tee.
I hope you share the love and follow me back :)
Have a great day.
Connie :)

I love it and it suits you perfectly.
For a good book I recommend
"Left Behind"
Tim LaHaye & Jerry Jenkins are the authors.
Your little reading nook is so sweet and definitely proves that good things come in small packages.
My reading nook is in my entry. Hey, we gotta carve out a space where we can.
Love your vintage window frame.

That IS perfect! Yes a nice fat ottoman and maybe a larger table to hold a larger pot of tea for longer stays LOL..! beautiful !
Coming from time washed I'm so pleased to see your beautiful nook ! Would like one too, but unfortunately my bed room's really too small.

Oh, how pretty! Now you can snuggle up with a good book and a cuppa tea...what could be better...and, in your very own special niche.
Have you read any of Nicolas Sparks books? They are all page turners.
