On Monday we showcased some of your reading nooks, and we were so inspired that we decided to take you into Cookie's editors' homes to show more. See where the kids of our editor-in-chief, photo editor, and features director plop down with a good classic children's book.
"Until he stopped taking naps about a year ago, my son Henry used to snooze in the nook for a couple of hours every day. In addition to a reading and lounging corner for the family, the spot also serves as a make-believe spaceship, and fire and garbage truck. The nook was originally intended to be a closet, but we realized it was large enough to fit a queen-size bed. My husband used extra fabric from coverlet and pillows to upholster a little footboard (we had some scrap walnut) so the bed frame wasn't exposed." -- Pilar Guzman, Editor-in-Chief
"My daughter can't actually read yet, but she loves quiet time in her room where she pretends to be reading to her teddy bears. We edged the couch near the window for light, and she has her own little bookshelf." -- Darrick Harris, Photo Editor
"I decided my daughter needed as much encouragement and inspiration as possible to make reading fun. We went to Ikea, and I let her choose all the pillows. On that trip, she spied the sheepskin rug and loved it so much she carried it around with her at the store, hugging it like a stuffed animal. The write-on-the-wall wallpaper from Graham and Brown went up soon after--it helps personalize the nook. Every few weeks or so I supervise as she paints whatever she wants inside the frames." -- Jenny Rosenstrach, Features Director
