My Book Reading Corner: Rattan Lounger

A little space in my home that I’ve been doing a tiny bit of work on is a “reading” corner. Ir’s in the dining room and it’s part of the wall I mentioned being a mud room kind of space a while back. I have the piece that is acting as a hideaway office of sorts. To the left of it I have baskets a coat rack and a mess of other things as this space is still coming together. On the other side I didn’t have any ideas.

Until I came across this unique rattan lounger. It’s petite in size, but the really neat part is the foot rest that slides in and out of the bottom. So it goes from cute rattan armchair to relaxing lounger.

I’m hoping to put shelves on this wall soon for books to help it function better as a reading corner. I recently put up these clipboards I picked up ages ago from the dollar store. I’ve got artwork created by my son and myself up here so he has a place to display his hobbies, too.

And I had to add the globe. I’m far from someone you’d see having a house with a library so I thought it’d be a bit comical and fun to put the globe here.

You know what else is fun? FEATURES 🙂

There’s a common thread with all these picks this week. I spotted something in each of these pictures that I also own. I started to notice the theme going through all the submissions so I had to go with it 😉
