Transform a Corner Into a Reading Nook | Home Becomes (Ep 3)

[@SK-ps2ps]

I watched all of your weekender series, binged watched them with no guilt whatsoever. Really hope you'll continue sharing new videos, you make me regret not choosing Home Economics (culinary) over Design and Tech in school.

[@EastCoastCreative]

Thanks for watching!

[@Jeepenjk-km1ws]

You are so talented and very funny! Thank for all the great ideas on how to make a house a home. God has blessed you with an awesome gift. I'm so glad you saw the your life going a different direction so that we could all be a part of the blessing.

[@BiniamAsnake]

I love the work you did and especially the wallpaper and the DIY bed. Of course, your transparency is admired!

[@kathyp.9507]

Love the whole room... it turned out beautiful, stunning, and sooooo cozy👌. As always you come up with awesome creations. Keep it up.😊 Peace and Love✌💚 from sunny🌅 Greece⛵💦

[@Elizabeth-mp6tr]

BTW, your show is soooo much better than any other show. Keep it up. You teach people, other shows do not! I am going to Lowe's soon to check it out. Thank you for your fun, and creative shows.

[@Joyfulwaterfall]

What an awesome idea! my sister is talking about a reading book in her room and this gave me great ideas for her. I love home Decor and wanted to do it for a career but of necessity became a care provider. I still love it and do it when I can.

[@marybethduke3263]

The push lights in the sconces...genius!

[@kattrinakitten]

Loved it, would just have maybe painted the frame of the push light black, so it would blend it better

[@min1797]

Just have to tell you how much I love your work, personality and your videos!! Makes me super happy! Surprise us with more of your creativity

[@jacintateresa3428]

Monica, im feeling your transparency - like your home isnt magnificently styled and "perfect" (not that it isnt beautiful)! But you meet us right where most of our homes are while giving us groovy projects to enhance our spaces. And they are functional!

[@monicamangin5678]

Glad you're liking them!

Oh this episode was AWESOME!! Trying to figure out where I can do this in my home!!🤔🤔

I'm late to the game on this channel but I LOVE what you're doing Monika 😉 The wall sconce hack is exactly what I need for the cottage We are off grid and don't have solar yet!! Thanks again

Really appreciated seeing the daybed build. NIFTY!

Nifty indeed!

Its always great to see you Monica and your designes...Monica is one of the bes😁😁😁Great video

OMG, the tap light idea just blew my mind. I am a Lowe'saholic and its awesome to know that i can find most of the materials there. Thanks so for having this channel.

[@EastCoastCreative]

Thanks for watching!

[@mntgardener9246]

Space is amazing, of course. I appreciate the time you took to EXPLAIN ... HOW to do the projects. Keep up the great, creative work!!!

[@upasanavijay9278]

Spray painting the books is a wonderful idea. 💕

[@monicamangin5678]

I concur!

[@dominiquebarrette9621]

Monica, you are such an inspiration! I love your vibrant personality, your creativity and your self-confidence thank you for sharing all your tips

[@iamandliamstudios2487]

You're a genius Monica!!! Amazing how you transform this place beautifully.. 👍👍

[@deebobbitt5562]

🤓 Monica gave a heads up and I'm still mind blown. The books are Beautiful!! No beef here; I loooooove it. I think the kiddos may love this idea more than me.

[@EastCoastCreative]

I love it too!

[@kathywannabe]

Yay! I'm so glad you're back on KZbin! I would love for you to do a home office/ craft room makeover. I'm a 53 year old college student. I have my computer as well as office supplies, school supplies, electronics (capacitors, raspberry pi, etc), sewing stuff, and other crafts all in a 10 x 10.5 foot room. I'd love a desk that I could sit and stand . So good to see you! I've watched every episode of the Weekender :)

[@EastCoastCreative]

Check out episode 1 for some inspiration - we transformed a corner into a small office with a sitting/standing desk.

[@MonK3yzUnkL]

Oh and it could be fun to assign a different paint color to each genre of book

[@EastCoastCreative]

I.LOVE.THIS.IDEA!!!

[@sandrakicklighter2735]

@@EastCoastCreative that would at least give you a clue as to where your book is hidden away without having to pull out each one to see the cover. You would still have to do that but at least you would only have to do that in the color block, not both full shelves. Might also work if within one color say blue is sci/fi then you have various shades of blue so that each author you collect has the same exact color but still meshes with the overall blue of the genre. Perhaps I am over thinking this because part of me did kinda freak at first and I am trying to work through it.

Thanks!

[@tiffaniproffit5955]

I loved The Weekender and hope you do more episodes. These little spots are awesome as well. Love that you decorate for the average person that doesn't have $50,000 to spend. Many of us have a limited budget and a limited skill set. You inspire us! Thanks so much!

[@EastCoastCreative]

Thank you for watching and so glad you're inspired!

[@pumpkinspicelatte6461]

Good job Monica! The reading nook looks really good.

Glad you like it!

[@heatherlaird-mcleod3271]

You are so talented, no need to justify your decisions to do what you do. Cos I have watched every episode of the Weekender and you are so creative & smart. Your kids are sòoooooo lucky to have you as a fun mum. Looking forward to more episodes.

[@qaithequeen]

I love how she preempts us with her background in English major before she explains why it's absolutely justified for her to spray paint her books. 😭🙏🏼 Monica you're so smart and creative.

[@Dawn-tv1bk]

So glad your back!!!! Love this project! Love the “wallpaper”

[@EastCoastCreative]

Me too!! The jumbo buffalo check is so good!

[@dlsdyer9071]

Just one suggestion painting before putting up the wallpaper eliminates the tedium of cutting in next to this checks.

[@trishanavarro4887]

The Lights! What an awesome idea 💡

[@EastCoastCreative]

Thanks!

[@mohammedadawi2312]

Hi Monica. I like your style and wish to see more of wonderful work. I liked the bed with a space to keep shoes underneeth😘

[@ShanaCali]

This was the video I had to stick in front of my husband and say that, "We can do this!" I would like to make an artist table and have this corner by my windows. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your uplifting and super creative tutorials.

[@EastCoastCreative]

Thanks for the kind words. Go do it!

Out of all the episodes this is my favorite because you make a mistake like I do all the time. Then you claim to feel pride of being smart then nail the cheat board. Love it. !!!! It is nice to know that we all make mistakes.

Like wow. For however is interesting, I have a DIY channel as well, who wants to pass by is more than welcome. Much much love.

[@georgiawild4332]

I love the book painting idea! I've seen other ideas of covering the book, but this seems the quickest. I also like another comment here about painting them by genre. Not only would that help to remember which book is which without having to pull them off the shelf, it adds a little fun! "What do I feel like reading today...pink!"

[@mechatoon]

Loved the makeover!!
