Window Seat/Reading Nook

We are currently in the midst of moving into a new apartment, which has some very cool features and additions, including a large ledge/bench by the window in the bedroom. I have been all excited about turning it into a cozy reading nook, but I still need to figure out what type of fabric/color/pattern I want to get the cushion created with.

Below are some of the goregous patterns and fabrics that I have been drooling over since last night when my sister told me about Calico Corners.

Let me know what you think and which ones you like best!


And then, just because...check out some pretty reading nook inspiration:

  1. Reading nooks are so fun! I have one in my house, and I used a pale striped fabric for the cushion, and then used more interesting fabrics for the throw pillows.

  2. I like the zebra pattern or the bottom right print. Sounds like a lovely place to catch up on some reading.

  7. We had one of those in my parent's house, I loved it so much, you have to do it! I like all of the fabrics, the one I'm least keen on is the coloured zebra print.
