The book nook is complete 📚🥰

[@amandag562]

I think if you add a rug, some blankets and some extra lights it would be even more finished and cozy ☺️

[@akirataifu8470]

A rug is a great idea!

[@See_me_in_the_sky]

Fairy lights would be perfect for extra lighting. And keeping memories making it more sentimental as she grows older.

[@ec1222]

And curtains to half cover the reading space!

[@Satine_Moisant]

and cute wallpaper like the inspiration picture!

[@screenfreehacks]

True handsome wallpaper that's floral would be really nice and more true to the vision from the pictures

i'd definitely still suggest ventilation holes in the trunk to be extra safe!

[@icouldjustscream]

Exactly this! It won't take long for a toddler to figure out how to squeeze in there! The holes can be cut in a cute shape like little hearts.

[@AC-ni4gt]

How about a sliding door instead? That way she can crawl in and out without worry of having to push something up.

[@craftyluna6381]

And make sure it has safety hinges so it can't slam down on little fingers!

but how would the child even get in there?

[@craftyluna6381]

[@BhappyD]

I LOVE this, and it’s exactly what I always dreamed of having as a child, but PLEASE make sure you put an actual key/combination lock on the storage trunk! Many young children die from suffocation by getting themselves trapped/stuck inside of storage trunks. Always best to err on the side of caution until they are both old enough to understand how to get themselves out of such a situation, and strong enough to be able to easily lift the lid themselves from the inside without any assistance. You did a phenomenal job designing this space! I’m incredibly jealous as a 30 year old grown adult! It’s beautiful!

[@lisafrost412]

The toy chest I had as a kid had some discreet little air holes in the side for this exact reason! It might be worth putting a few in on the sides here too

[@sophie3869]

I’m pretty sure they said in a previous video that they drilled air holes just in case for exactly that reason

[@seajelly2421]

Lids coming down have also caused severe injuries and deaths.

[@scyllacw]

Shelving the books spine-in is wild

[@In_time]

I looked for this comment. I couldn’t understand what was happening.

[@mde6006]

Not just wild, just WRONG!!! 😳😖

[@makeuplover6852]

The earth will in fact continue to spin ...even with this extreme error. Lol...more than likely they did this for the video so that they could capture the front of the books...I highly doubt they actually have them stored this way.

[@frickfrack7075]

​@@makeuplover6852 for the video? What purpose is it for the video? That doesn't even make sense.

[@Bert-Kay]

It’s the proper way to shelve books to preserve them in the long term. Then you can reach back and push it out by the spine with a finger and never push on pages of tug on the spine which eventually comes off. Cheers!

[@AfroMoonBeams]

Your daughter is going to Love her super cool book noon!

[@CactusKitty42]

I love how you’re planning for her future too. Like it’s not just a baby room but it can grow with her too

[@tookiwolfpaint5142]

Love it! Just be very careful with that heavy trunk lid and the macrame toy hammock, both can be suffocation/choking hazards. I'd put some ventilation in the trunk and probably get rid of the dangling bits on the hammock.

[@fishbuddy547]

Yes! There are too many stories of children suffocating to death in trunks to not add a hole or two.

[@sophie3869]

I’m pretty sure they said they drilled some air holes in the trunk for that exact reason in a previous video

[@ashleyclinton3485]

I thought this was for a teen… maybe should only go in with mommy and daddy once she is a toddler❤ grabbing that hammock is similar to the pull strings on window blinds. We had a friend whose toddler got herself wrapped up in the strings and died- not to be scary but just cautious❤

[@makeuplover6852]

Yup, a locked latch on the trunk completely eliminates her or another child visiting getting in there, also just remove the hamoc - just too dangerous for babies and then toddlers. Just put up a shelf to keep the stuffies from the dog, but soon enough there will be baby toys all over - including stuffies so might as well teach the pup now, no! Not his. Then baskets are safest and easiest for toy storage. If they like the hamoc just for design effect, put it up in the corner of the room attached to ceiling, no way the child can ever reach it.

[@jackierocha5096]

She’ll be able to look at these videos one day and see how excited you guys were for her arrival, that’s wholesome

[@A158s]

I think if you add way more cushions it woudl be so much comfier and cozy and way more enjoyable. And maybe a blanket too

[@inajai6422]

Yess they should also add padding under the window.

[@Seal_pup]

And a rug, and a floor lamp and twinkle lights. Maybe even a little tea tray/cart/trolley for the parents (for the time being while the child won’t even walk yet)

[@georgie_girl]

Oh my gosh, the heart behind this, down to the smallest details is absolutely stunning! 🫶🏼

[@alexandra_symphony]

This is so sweet. The best thing parents can do is introduce reading from infancy.

[@VeLilRockGirl]

I love it. I thought it would have been awesome to continue the theme with the window too and make it marine instead of floral. But it looks amazing.

[@CC12203]

Yes, actually an underwater scene would have been cool.

[@Nicereview763]

I love it. I think a bolster cushion along the back would be good and also a lamp on the shelves.

[@countessD84]

After watching a few videos of people buying perfectly charming houses, only to completely gut them to make them look "modern", you two are a breath of fresh air. Instead of destroying the charm of that little nook, you're ADDING to make it into the perfect reading space, while keeping its color the same as possible.

[@Grandma_Jizzzzzzzard]

The idea of asking your guests to bring their favorite childhood books is so good.❤❤

[@CC12203]

A skylight on that sloped ceiling would be so nice since the window is now covered with stained glass. I agree with other comments that more blankets and a rug would make the perfect additions for coziness.

[@alwaysrootingfortheantihero123]

this is so cute!!! she’ll fall in love with stories here and you can put a desk in opposite the bench when she’s older and has homework for school. with a book book like this i can’t imagine her not loving fantasy and historical fiction like the secret garden, little women, and lord of the rings.

[@copelandammann4815]

Something that will help it look more cozy is maximalism! That slanted portion of the wall is a great space to put an old map or some framed art pieces. The more things you have I that space the cozier it will look. I would also suggest heavily securing them to the wall with multiple screws or finish nails, that way your child does not knock them down and is unable to remove them.

[@vee_tinymoose]

My kiddos (now 20 & 23) had some significant childhood disruptions (defence family & late identified neurodivergence). Because of this they have disrupted memories of much of their early years. What they both solidly remember is us reading to them, both daytimes and bedtimes. We had a fairly extended bedtime routine and they both remember it clearly and fondly. As an added bonus, my son has been part of a longitudinal study since he was four months old (Growing Up in Australia). We’ve taken part in interview his whole life, and given permission for the study to access his federal academic testing and other similar data. It’s been awhile since I’ve dug into their results but from memory they had a significant positive correlation between parents who read to their children and how those children went in their academic testing 😊
