Domestic Wish: A Window Seat

Posted by Steph Auteri

 

Apartment Therapy recently posted about banquettes, easily built into alcoves, corners, and the like as a means to build a dining area into a small space. 

What intrigued me most about the photos were the window seats, a home feature I've always lusted after, and imagined as the perfect spot in which to curl up with a good book, the natural light streaming in, my spine curled into a pile of smooshy pillows.

Any readers lucky enough to have a reading nook in their place? Take pictures and link to them in the comments! Also: What's your favorite spot in the house for escaping into a book? 

After the jump, photos of more lust-worthy window seats:

Ooh! the picture with the bookshelf built over the seat is amazing. That's a little spot of paradise I'm dreaming of now! Thx for the pic.
