Because I've been searching for all things cozy and fall and reading, I keep coming up with some pretty darn awesome places, like this one here. Brew yourself a hot beverage and prepare to bliss out on these super cozy reading nooks.


Some of the best use of wall space I've ever seen! And is that a rail for a ladder I see there?


The Living Room at La Mardelle, Brittany


Reading Window
The Artist's Sister, Bertha.
by Albert Edelfelt (1854-1905)


Who needs a dedicated library? This set up could be in a back hall or hard-hard-to-use corner of any house or apartment. I'd call it my 'escape hatch'. 



Get a load of that window seat!




The colors in this room are striking. Everything else about it is pretty perfect too.

If you have a few minutes take a look at all of these lovely book rooms.

Home reading nooks we could all spend some time in.  

Orange and Blue, The Library at Ardilea 
Patrick William Adam, 1911  

Those pops of blue against a backdrop of orange make my eyes so happy. And get a load of the shiny polished wood. So lovely.

A home library with exposed beams AND giant windows?
Yes please.  


Library at Br�au
by Walter Gay

You know what I love about this room apart from the dilapidated easy chair and the smokey old fireplace? The enormous window. I can't even.



Making the best of a small space. Check out the curved bookcase!

Are you ready for some reading nook love? Check this out  


Home Library, 1910

Stone, wood, lovely little rugs, and an open crosshatch window.
Cigar and glass of scotch, anyone?




Making Vintage Home Libraries Cool Again. 


Check out those old brick walls and exposed beams. And is that a brick floor too? With a lovely, simple woven rug? A library doesn't get more splendidly rustic than this.
Some book rooms I think we'd all like to spend some time in.



A bright window seat and an exposed wood ceiling? Yes please.



Check out the bean bag behind the desk.


French doors!

Because I'm a sucker for all things homey and bookish, and I think you are too, here is a website for us all to drool over.



A comforting kind of clutter.


Reading at night.

Fairy Tales 
by Christina Paterson Ross (1843-1906)



Windows and books always go so well together. Warm and quiet. A refuge.
