Hello sweet friends, thank you so much for watching! As spring is nearly arriving, I spent last week transforming a corner of my bedroom into my dream cozy victorian cottage mini library/reading nook. I have been wanting to do this makeover of this space for so long and it ended up turning out even better than I envisioned. I hope you enjoy the video as much as I did filming it. I love the little vintage touches with whimsy and romance. But I do think the floral wallpaper is my favorite part 😊

The blooper of Jared reading his proclamation KILLED ME

I could totally see my husband saying the same sort of thing! So cute & funny! 🤣🥰

[@loomonda18]

I KNEW JARED WAS FREAKY!!! 😂😂

[@MrsBrian-sy9eb]

Your clip of saying you wanted to squeeze something and cutting away to your cat's surprised face was one of the best subtle comedic moments I've ever seen on KZbin! Also - the book covers - it's like permanent gift wrap that you never have to take off!!! Happy March 1st to you!

[@ladymc2021]

Totally agree lol!

[@evianneswanson9653]

I came to the comments looking for this comment! I laughed out loud at that part 😂

@@DarlingDesiHonestly you definitely have re-ignited, inspired and influenced in a good meaningful way to many more people in different ways more than you could probably ever imagine. I am sure most of us watching in some way have been impacted in a positive way by your beautiful soul and your inspirational videos. You’re of my favorite influencer we have so very much in common interests! I am another impacted greatly by your beautiful persona & content. You have inspired me to remember who I used to be before marriage & motherhood, now making time to rekindle my old hobbies like reading, writing poetry, painting, my hunger for knowledge continue learning history & French language, vintage hunt sourcing dressing up being my girly self just because, etc. (I have been slowly finding healing my lost self inner child long forgotten for the past 12yrs) your content and my current circumstances found each other in such a fine tuned time perfectly together, together ignited the spark I needed for change & healing! and for this I thank you! ❤

Oh Darling desi, how i wish we could be friends in real life. Your videos speak to my heart the person you are brings a kindness and gentleness to my life that i only realize is missing when i see your new videos pop up. To have a friend like minded and wonderful as you is a blessing even just over the internet. I could picture going to eachothers house having tea and reading in spring time. Swapping books from our personal libraries, leaving little notes in books for eachother to find later, running through meadows of flowers. i have no one i can really be myself around, or that feeds and enjoys that part of me that wishes she was in a classic novel. So that part of me often gets pushed down deep. Your videos make me feel seen thank you so much! i will forever watch your channel over and over! With all the love and admiration - A kindred spirit finding her way💛

[@cherokeebennett8737]

Happy belated Birthday. I have to admit, I've never been a reader, but watching you, has peaked my interest, just the titles have gotten my attention. And come on, we couldn't sit and read all day in a book nook like what you've created, it's beyond lovely.

[@DarlingDesi]

Thank you so much for the birthday wishes! Honestly I went years without reading because I think university kinda ruined it for me. But it just took the right book (a random thriller that I picked up while riding the subway in Seoul) to get me back into reading and change my life so much for the better 🥰

Oh trust me, we have other bookshelves with the pages out! It all depends on the vibe that I’m going for in a specific space. For my room, all the spring spines matched nicely with the colors in the room (no black or grey spines) 👌🏻

OMG the green with the floral wallpaper is so pretty! Very cottagecore. Friendly note, spiders are an important part of nature, but I hate finding them in my house too, so maybe consider the glass and paper technique to toss them outside. They keep the other bugs under control in the summer which is always a plus! Enjoy your cosy book nook!

[@DarlingDesi]

We usually try to do that, but where this one was on a ceiling was too high for either of us to reach, unless with the fly swatter 🙁 And sadly Binx had an extremely swollen and puss filled toe the other day and the vet thinks it was some kind of spider bite. So for now, the spiders can stay outside 🌳

[@haileyfussell]

Throne of glass to me sounds like a perfect series for you! The story completely evolves and changes as the story progresses. By the third book it’s not even the same series, it’s so complex and beautiful. It has romance and adventure and I’d definitely not give up on it until you’ve tried more maybe because the first two books aren’t as good and then the third gets really amazing!

[@bananabuttersomethin]

I've got about a dozen Little Free Libraries within walking distance of my house (including our own!) and I know where each one is by heart although we do keep a list of addresses, which we print copies of to put in ours. It's so fun finding new ones we didn't know about. One of them is built into the stump of a tree and it has a cute little roof on it and a small door in the side where a gnome lives. Also...you are allowed to take more than one book you know. You didn't have to leave Despereaux behind if you wanted it.

[@MicheleLRid]

And now I have another project to complete - my very own cozy spring and summer reading nook! Thanks for sharing, Desi!

I can’t believe on your bed I spotted a copy of my novel ‘Home for the Holidays’ - that made my day ! I hope you enjoyed reading my novel as a British author and you being one of my favourite KZbinrs made me so happy to see you had it in your collection !! My second published book will be out in the fall of this year ! Hope you enjoy reading home for the holidays - it really is a super cute romantic yet very traditional feel good story. I really enjoyed this video and what a beautiful reading nest you created ! You have inspired me so much to transform my reading area ! Best wishes to you Desi from England , love Sophie x you’ve made my day 🌷
