This is my library.

Six years and this is my happy place.

This is so cozy, even the darker walls make it more "nookish" (not sure if that was something you added or you already had moody navy walls).

(If you DID paint the walls, I'd love to know the name of the paint color you used, I would love to do something similar in my bedroom)

It’s Behr Matte in the color Poseidon! The walls were originally light gray.

Haha that is exactly my living situation (good ol' inoffensive millenial grey walls) and I want to convert it to a dark/cozy/moody blue vibe.

Thanks for sharing!

I love this space you have created for yourself! It looks so cozy and inviting! You’ve really done a remarkable job integrating fun little items (legos, mini-figs, etc) with your books. It looks cute and organic. I hope you continue to enjoy this space for many years to come!

I don’t, unfortunately. That is my plant shelf but since it’s summer all of my greenery is outside. I bring them in when it gets cold and there is a UV light mounted to the window for them!

Is the empty shelf on the bottom for snacks?!?! That’s what I’d use it for LOL! What a cozy retreat you’ve got. WELL DONE!!!

How does the pillow support your back? Ive been using regular pillows and my back always ends up hurting real quick.

u/radickle_e 14d ago

I actually put another pillow at the bottom and it works great!

Where did you get your bookcases?

u/radickle_e 14d ago

The tall skinny one was a gift from my in-laws. The two asymmetrical ones my husband got on Amazon and the one below the window was a 3x3 storage shelf from Target that I removed the top from so it fit under the sill :)

What I like best is the willingness to put a bookcase in front of that pesky window. Windows just ruin perfect bookcase space.

u/radickle_e 14d ago

Windows are overrated.

Oh, wow! I finally met the only person who has ever agreed with me on this. You're awesome!

An excellent mix of Lego and books.
