TURNING UNDER STAIRS STORAGE INTO A COZY BOOK NOOK

Friends, I’m so excited to share a little project that turned an overlooked space into one of the coziest and cutest corners! You know that small, slanted storage spot under the stairs that usually collects toys, bins, or random odds and ends? Well, it just got the sweetest makeover into a children’s reading nook for our grandchildren, and I couldn’t love it more.

Here’s where we started—just a plain little space that held toys and doll strollers. Functional, yes, but not very inspiring.

But with a little vision, this under-the-stairs area transformed into a magical retreat for little readers. Remember when I showed you my inspiration HERE.

Now, it’s a place where imagination blooms! Our remodeler added shiplap-inspired walls, a fresh coat of paint, and we added the sweetest details to make it warm and inviting. The blue shade is called Stardew from Sherwin Williams. Wait until you see what else did with that beautiful blue!

On the walls I hang festive Bunting Banners and a “Once Upon a Time” wall sign that sets the perfect fairytale tone. Mr. Nine spray painted it white for me.

The cozy factor comes alive with a soft, cloud-like rug underfoot, a little children’s chair, and pillows to snuggle with. (Everything came from Amazon except that darling sun pillow, which was too cute to resist elsewhere.) Low-profile wooden Book Ledges display colorful storybooks at just the right height for little hands, turning the walls into part of the design.

I’m actually not done with this space yet. Several little things I want to add. But this nook has quickly become a favorite spot to curl up with a book, imagine new adventures, or just enjoy a quiet moment. It proves that even the tiniest corners of our homes can be transformed into spaces full of love and joy.

So, if you have an unused nook under your stairs, consider turning it into a space like this—you’ll be amazed how cozy and magical it can become. And the best part? Almost all of it can be found right on Amazon, making it an easy and fun project to recreate.

From storage to story time—what a dreamy transformation!

And note…. Since next Monday, the first of the month, is Labor Day, Jill and I are changing the Amazon link up to next Monday, September 8th. See you there!
