Kristy’s Bedroom – Reveal (Queen Bed)

The other day I mentioned how Kristy’s new bedroom can transition from a queen sized bed into a built-in reading nook.  Since the bedrooms in Kristy’s house are rather small, I wanted to provide her with a multi-use design that could be easily altered in the future to give the room more useable space without having to tear out all Kristy’s hard work.

Built-in Reading Nook Set Up

The top of the reading nook bench opens up to reveal a large, sectioned storage box.  There is literally not an inch of wasted space in this built-in.   It’s a beautiful, functional space no matter how it is set up.

Queen sized bed set up:

The cubbies in the built-in wardrobes serve as a nightstand; a place for books, glasses, a cup of water…whatever.  Each light turns on separately with a pull chain to provide targeted reading light which is especially nice when set up as a bed so one person can read without distributing too much light on the other side of the bed.

Kristy did an absolutely amazing job building this plan!  It was a labor of love.

I’m glad she made sure to enjoy a few hours of story time with William in the reading nook before they placed all the bed components.

It looks like William loves it!   And so does his dad…

Shane, I think there’s an important person missing from your story time!  LOL

I absolutely love this room.  I could live here.

If only tickets from Knoxville to Australia weren’t so dang expensive!

  1. Love this! Where did you get the white rouched duvet/comforter?

  2. SANDRA! This is very much along the lines of something I’ve been thinking of contacting you about for our guest room… with built-in bookshelves around the room too. Oh my.
