The second one is a dream! I can not imagine ever being upset while in that room
I completely agree about the second one. It is so beautiful!!!
Number 4 and #2 are my faves, in that order.
1-4 make me smile :)
Seconding 2 and 4 as my favourites! So COZY-looking.
4 and 9 are my faves!
I love the first and second ones. It seems like all these spaces do a lot with a little. Very nice!
Love 4! When I was a kid I wanted a window seat bracked by book shelves. This is so much better!
2 is my fav. It's simple, dreamy, and it looks so comfy. I get the feeling that once I set foot in that room all of my troubles will be gone.
Mmm, somewhere to have a wee nap...now that is perfection.
I am looking at you number 2.
number 6 is so light and sunny! love it!
