We thought we'd round out bedroom month with a sneak peek from an upcoming house tour. We are absolutely head over heels for this bed nook and just had to share. White wood boards on the walls and ceiling, built-in shelves on either end, no-fuss bedding and a window to the outside world all work together to create an incredibly inviting alcove. More pictures after the jump...
Aside from the obvious annoyance of changing the sheets on a bed fit so snugly against three walls, you have got to admit that this looks pretty darn cozy. The all-white woodwork makes the nook more light cove than bed cave and the window keeps the whole space feeling open. We're usually not for TV in the bedroom but we could really get used to watching The Daily Show from the comfort of our own pillow, snuggled under the covers. We'll have much more from this lovely farmhouse soon, so stay tuned...

What a nice use of space in a small room.
So cocoon and nest like.
Really Inviting.
It reminds me of a B&B room.
I also find it so cozy. There is a bit too many frames on one of the wall but the rest looks very good.
I wonder if the bed goes all the way to the window? Because that would be annoying...
Oh so cozy...perfect for reading design mags in...or dragging the laptop in with you to squirrel away hours on design blogs!
Congrats on the blog Nomination!!
I like it a lot! I can't help seeing a lot of scrambling to make the bed, though!
I love it! I love the blue comfortor. I'm looking for a duvet cover like that but not crazy expensive. Anyone have an ideas?
I love the nook...but realistically, my husband would freak! Climbing over each other doesn't sound fun, but it sure is pretty to look at it in someone else's house.
I want an old farm housey house! ):
Lovely! I'd have to use a big messy duvet on that bed, because I have crawling on a bed to make it.
Gorgeous!
This one I love, even if inconvenient to make the bed.
Yeah, what a bother to make the bed, and to vacuum between the bed and the window. But maybe they have help for that. It is cozy cute, though.
It's great, until your the one sleeping on the inside and have to go to the bathroom.
Lovely. Can't wait to see the rest of the tour. And thanks for doing a non-urban space -- it's nice to see the mix.
Am I the only one who thinks it's fun when I have to climb over hubby to go anywhere? Guess we're still in the honeymoon phase.
I think this room would be especially awesome as either a guest bedroom or a teen's bedroom (different colors/accessories there). I imagine I'd sleep very well in a space like that, though the rest room comment makes a good point. So, maybe just for one person.
Coziest ever!
Though not so good for a couple, as someone would end up trapped against the wall and having to climb over their partner if they needed in or out of the bed at different times.
This is inspiring as an idea for creating guest space when there are not enough bedrooms. I just wish that the window were set a bit higher so that the bed didn't look so shoe-horned into the space.
Would be an okay guest room - would suck as a bedroom you use nightly.
Wonderful. I'd have fewer photos (you can't see them when you're in the bed anyway) and more books, but otherwise its heaven.
Incredible and perfect. Snuggly and adorable. My only concern would be a draft from the window but that is because I am a big baby from the snow zone who still finds the nerve to chatter teeth in Northern California. I'd love to have any sort of bed cave at all & I suppose I'd spend a fortune to triple pane this 1 window ... and add some serious window cover for the option of light and dark. This is truly the first I have ever seen with so much storage and shelving. Loves.
I'm always astonished when (some) people are dismissive at best, at your throat negative at worst about the small choices people make for their most private areas; I like to think of this as a place where people come to share - not a thumbs up or thumb in yer eye - if ye be brave. I know many would say 'get used to it' for it comes with anonymity and some people need to be harsh: but I don't want to get used to that. That is right up there in the short list of things I don't want to become numb to. Eh, thanks for listening. Right.
I am totally in love with this. Any suggestions on how to create your own bed nook in a regular, studio apartment?
