Reader’s Haven booknook (pic-heavy)

It’s done!!! This will be a Christmas gift for my DIL. I really had fun designing, planning and building all of the pieces in this project.

It all started with the tiny sofa:


A HUGE pile of mini books (still have some left over):

A tiny tea set on a wee table:

Picture window overlooking the cow pasture at twilight:

Book shelves built from scratch. I made all of the wee plants as well:


The main floor- I’m loving the blanket ladder. My DIL actually has one of these, right down to the jersey cow print blanket. I made the plants, end table and lamp. There’s also a remote on the end table for the flat screen tv.

The upstairs reading room, with beanbag chairs in the back overlooking the tree swing in the back yard:

Building the staircase was fun. I loved watching it come together.

The wires for the lights that illuminate the bottom floor are sneakily hidden under the furniture upstairs.

Thanks for looking:

But, she is definitely gonna keep it… :slightly_frowning_face: :grin:
