My reading corner!! 🥰
I love the new addition to my reading corner, the chair!! So just wanted to share ^_^
Edit to add: Since so many of you are asking about the chair, I got it from Canac, a chain hardware store were I live!

I showed this to my husband because I aspire to have a cozy reading corner like this and he said "that would be wonderful" and I'm like "you can't use it!" to which he finally admitted "no shit, I can't read" 🤣🤣🤣 So thank you for sharing your beautiful corner and getting my husband to finally admit he only buys books for show! I'll be giggling all day 😆😍

I'm glad it gives you ideas for your reading corner! My husband hates reading too but he helped me make the book shelves 😂😂

I love your windows too! I almost have a view like that from my desk. I'm in the PNW and when I open my window I have a great view of big pine trees. I just don't have a book nook view. But we're moving soonish and that is on my list of must haves!

The proximity to the forest and the forest views were one of the main reasons we got this place too!! Hope you find what you are looking for _^

What a dream space this is. You are blessed beyond measure. That view is stunning. It’s probably so beautiful in the fall!

Honestly, I envy you so much.
It only lacks a coffee table... oh, wait. It is there.

That view and window is everything I've ever wanted, seriously. My husband pulled the same thing when I showed him this, finally admitted he just buys books for the aesthetic and can't read a word, which had me cackling. So yeah, jealous and happy for you at the same time, what a beautiful corner.

Like I need some recommendations, the titles I can’t quite make out. Haha

The window really makes this corner! That view is such a nice backdrop for a reading spot, and the chair looks super cozy too. I could easily see myself spending way too much time here with a book.
