I wonder what it is about nooks ( and crannies ) that make most of us that don't have one, wish we did?
Is it something left over from our childhood's I wonder - when we would create little spaces for ourselves using blankets and clothes pins?
I love them - I love them so much that when I joined pinterest it was one of the first boards I created - never thinking I actually may soon be living in a house that's full of them! I say soon everyone - because we should know by Tuesday ( it's close now - oh so close ) just some final details to sort out )
This is what some people have done with nooks - I don't think mine will be anywhere near as elaborate - but still, I'M GOING TO HAVE NOOKS AND CRANNIES GUYS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I could curl in a nook with a favorite book
( while John's in the kitchen learning to cook )
Have a wonderful day everybody - and a relaxing weekend - and be very grateful that you don't live near me or I'd expect you here, beside me, helping me pack :)
Much love,

ReplyDeleteI don't think I have missed an episode of your house hunting adventure, but obviously, you are close to finalizing on one!! Is it the sweet little charmer that appeared on the post with Annie Sloane? Now, that beauty had its share of cozy nooks and crannies, and I can definitely picture you there.
Fingers crossed! xx
Good luck, my friend!

A small pointless nook becomes a "niche"! I think it would be perfect to display some antique or favorite books and make a lovely vignette. You will make it perfect!
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI am so excited for you.
You will do great decorating nooks and crannies.
Can not wait to see.

PS I think I fixed my no reply blogger problem. :)
Oh, I love nooks and crannies. My house had them when I was growing up and I wish I had some back. If I were there, I would love to help you pack. xo Laura
ReplyDeleteI love that photo with the apple blossoms...gorgeous nook.
ReplyDeleteWe have a ridiculous nook in our florida house....a narrow little space in a wall that looks like I should put a statue of the blessed mother in it.
Suzan this is some great inspiration photo's for decorating a great little nook. I cannot wait for you to get moved in and start your magic. Woooooo Hoooooo exciting.
ReplyDeleteKris
How much fun is all this going to be!!! I love it. I too love nooks and crannies but don't have enough of them. I actually have a plan to make one in a bedroom with a future renovation. Crazy perhaps for some but it really does scream CHARACTER. :) Getting more exciting by the day Suzan.
ReplyDeleteSo you managed to hook some nooks in the new home (fingers and toes crossed). I have dormer nooks in the upstairs rooms and they are perfect for tables with displays of collections, but I will be honest. I have never actually used the nooks for anything but that! I hope you have a plan of action for this new house - it does not know what is fixing to hit it - Tornado Suzan!
ReplyDeleteNow I want a nook and cranny!!!
ReplyDeleteMary Alice
Gorgeous nooks Suzan ~ looking forward to seeing your nooks & crannies!! :-)
ReplyDeletesigh. I need to stop reading blogs cause I always want to tear my house apart and start building/rebuilding stuff. Love the library nook and the turquoise one. gimme gimme gimme
ReplyDeleteI'm totally in love with that library nook!!! Even the one with the little library underneath is sweet. I've got my fingers crossed for you Suzan. I'm sooo hoping you get this house so you can do your magic on those nooks and crannies! I'm so excited for you!!! Fingers crossed!!
ReplyDeleteI'm excited you're about to get that house, Suzan! Whoohoo. You showed some really sweet reading nooks and I love the last one best. I also love your little rhyme at the end. lol I'd come help you pack if you didn't live 15 hours away!! Hugs. Pam
ReplyDeleteSo wonderful to hear you are close to getting some nooks and 'grannies'....as I prefer to call them! Cannot wait to see/hear that all went well and you are moving again! Yaaay!!!
ReplyDeleteFill up those nooks and crannies, with books and reading nooks. That's what they're for - have fun!
ReplyDeletethose inspiration pictures are so beautiful. I am sure you will do a great job on all your nooks
ReplyDeleteI am in a desperate house hunt right now. I almost bought a house that was way too small for us, but because it had so many nooks and crannies and breezeways and dormers and window seats, and you know what I mean, that I couldn't help myself. My husband has more practical sense. There was no room for the piano.
ReplyDeleteI would help you pack, but darn, I live too far.
You know I'd already be there packing if we lived near enough! I love your nook collection. I kinda want one now.
ReplyDeletethat small ugly ridiculous pointless nook would look great with something large, yet airy, in it. don't give up on it yet!
ReplyDeleteOh, Thursday is so close! I love nooks and I so wish I had at least one... But sometimes you can create a "nook feel" without the nook. Does that blue inspiration nook have a seaview? Wow!
ReplyDeleteThink I'll take a tour around my house now and look for nook possibilities. Yes, I'm sure nook love is simply an extension of childhood fantasy, a grown-up version of the "fort." :-)
ReplyDeleteI'd be right there with the other gals helping you pack. Life isn't complete without nooks and crannies!
ReplyDeleteI love all the nooks with book shelves. Wow, your sale and move has been rapid. Girl, you don't mess around.
ReplyDeleteRest, rest, cuz all H**l is about to break loose. Can't wait to see you work your magic.
xoxoGinger
Well I oohed and aah-ed over all of these. How gorgeous is that one with the large window with the tree outside. And the one with the shutters...gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI do agree though, sometimes you see some really pointless nooks, that make you wonder what people were thinking.
I hope all goes smoothly with the sale.
Yay!!! I hope you get good news soon! Love the nooks and crannies. I'm so excited to see what you do in your new home. It's going to be so much fun!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see how you nook your crannies. :)
ReplyDelete-andi
Oh, that last photo. And, the one with the turquoise windows - wonderful.
ReplyDeleteMy grandmother lived in a house in Portland, Oregon that was full of nooks and crannies. I knew that if nothing else, I had to have a window seat somewhere. Since our house is so tiny, basically every room is a nook.
I love the nooks and wish that had a couple here in my house. My fingers and toes are crossed that you get the house. I think you will have it whipped into shape in no time with your great designs. Have a great day.

ME ENCANTARON LAS IGLESIAS.
ReplyDeleteSALUDITOS
Nooks are so cozy! I have one spot in my house that I call a nook...I haven't finished decorated it yet...it's been 11 years, LOL, but you might have just inspired me, Suzan!
ReplyDeleteNooks do make a house interesting!
ReplyDeleteI love all those nooks! Makes me want to grab a book!
ReplyDeleteUgly ridiculous nook is a masterpiece waiting to happen:
ReplyDelete1) Hang two leaded glass windows along the edges, fill in with floofy material & suspended twinkle lights.
2) Cut branches to fit inside it and cover those with twinkle lights.
3) Find a beautiful stained glass lamp to place inside of it.
4) Build some tiny stairs and add a railing and make it a balcony for Soda.
5) Go on a hunt for the perfect sculpture or big piece of junk (a giant marquee letter?) that would fit right in there.
I love that thing. I want one. Got a chainsaw?
Such great nooks and crannies. I can't wait until Tuesday now to hear something!
ReplyDeleteCynthia
I have two nooks at my place but one doesn't have a side and the other one is just plain annoying, I have the kids desk set up in one, clearly these pictures tell me I have undervalued their potential
ReplyDeleteBeautiful beautiful your space and so is your post!
ReplyDeleteAll those pictures are so gorgeous.
Thanks for sharing.
Hope to see you on my blog:)
Fun to see all these nook ideas. I don't live in a home with nooks,but my aunt does and I can enjoy hers.
ReplyDeleteThose are nice! I wish I had a nook somewhere in our place. I would love to decorate one.
