Creating A Coxy Reading Corner. I think every home needs a place where you can curl up and relax with a good book. A Cozy Reading Corner Sitting Area is one of my favorite places. When we moved into this home, I claimed the loft as my Girl Cave/Office. It is one of my favorite rooms in the house.
I am thrilled to be joining a group of friends for another Cozy Living Series. All the links will be at the end of this post. Special thanks to Jennifer from Town and Country Living who hosts this series each month for including me.
I love the loft area in our home. It is where I set up my office space and a comfortable seating area where I can read a good book or watch one of my favorite TV programs. All the furniture in this space didn’t find a home somewhere else when we moved in. Lucky for me because it turned out perfect for the loft. A comfy leather chair, a little settee, a few end tables, and more of my clock collection and this is one of my favorite rooms.
A gateleg table serves as my desk. This is a table I’ve had for years. I wanted something that would work for a desk but didn’t look like a desk and this table is perfect. There’s a drawer for storage too. I added a small bookcase on the wall to hold all of my daily necessary office supplies – pads, papers, pens, staples and etc.
I found an office chair at Goodwill and recovered it to give it a little character. You can see my tutorial on how to Upholster an Office Chair here. This is such an easy project and took a $20 chair and turned it into a custom chair.
A great lamp and a couple of clocks from my collection and this corner next to the railing became the perfect office for me.
The wall opposite the sitting area is filled with a bookcase entertainment unit that holds all my office supplies and a TV.
That leather chair is my favorite place to sit and curl up with my latest book or magazine. A special spot that I can call my own.
Do you have a favorite place to curl up with a good book?

A couple of months ago I carved out a spot in my den to use as a reading nook. I added a lamp to the top of the wine fridge, added a backrest cushion to our old leather sectional, a footrest, and voila! Its not fancy, but its perfect for me to sit and read in the evenings and has encouraged me to do more often!
Sounds like a perfect spot. Marty
