Breakfast Nooks!

We love bright and clean design. Let light colors and natural sunlight permeate any space to create a revitalizing retreat space in any room of the house. Wouldn't it be wonderful to cuddle into a one of these pillowed corners in this inset bench with a bowl of cereal and a book? The construction needed for this is minimal-- even a 3 board pi-shaped bench with a recovered baby-bed mattress in front of a large window would do the trick. A chaise would also be a luxurious way to recline in the morning, a gentle transition from sleeping to being upright for the rest of the day.

Don't have a large window to set a bench in? Create a makeshift (and transformable) space with an old church pew (we've found more than a couple on Craigslist), a table (try a fun, unique triangle-shape to make use of a corner in a small space, or to just be economical) and a couple of chairs. We encourage cutting fresh flowers for the vase on the small table, at least for the first few days after you set this temporary space up, to keep it feeling relaxing, sweet, and magical.
