So simple & easy to do! I’m working on a play cubby where my washer & dryer used to be for my grandson. One half will be for books.

In reply to Johanna Delp. How about a crib mattress, or if its big enough, one for each child?

We are currently turning a wide, low (due to a sloping ceiling), and relatively deep closet into a nook for our kids. The floor is the largest area to cover. What would you recommend for comfy sitting? I’ve thought of gym mats, foam mats, etc. I want something tidier than a pile of blankets and pillows, durable, washable, and affordable. Thanks for sharing your ideas!

This is such a sweet little room, and reading space. Do you happen to remember which paint/colour you used?

I can’t help but think it would be a little better with a “bench” at the bottom. Gives you storage beneath, good comfort. Shift the book racks a bit, everything still fits.

In reply to Holly Gomez. Thanks, Holly! Is yours posted on your blog? I try to find it, but didn't have any luck... I'd love to take a peek!

In reply to Cat. That sounds like a perfect solution, Cat! Good luck with the move and all of the new projects you'll have on the go! :)

Thank you so much for sharing this idea!!! I came to check this out via Pinterest. We are about to move into a new house and my two daughter and my son have had to share a bedroom (still very sheltered preschoolers, so that hasn’t been a problem at all) and in the new house, my twenty-month-old will FINALLY be moving out of our master bedroom and a crib and into a bedroom with her sister. I’ve been trying to think of some ways to “girl”-up their new room since my oldest has been sharing with a boy all of this time. This not only is perfect for that, but will allow me to turn their small closet into a double-duty storage/reading space since we wouldn’t have had room for a reading nook otherwise. I can put spice racks up higher on the sides for the paperback books so that my oldest can reach them, but her little sister would need help as well to help our book collection survive a little longer.
