Surely you have seen all the cute little book nooks being fashioned out of corners and closets and whatnot these days? Thrifty Decor Chick did a great one HERE. I love the idea, but I just don’t have any closet space to spare. Like I’m going to sacrifice my VHS collection and 20-gallon tote full of fabric scraps that I’ll never use for READING?! Psh! Well Jennifer rocked my world with this idea: a made-over gun rack! Perfect for the closet challenged. So cute!

September 13, 2011 at 5:00 PMWhat a great idea for a classroom! Can you imagine the incentive this presents for earning the right to use the ‘reading nook’ for reading time? Wish I was still teaching! I would have made this right away! Great work!

September 13, 2011 at 8:48 PMWhat a surprise, that may have been one of the most creative “afters” I’ve seen in a long time.

September 15, 2011 at 4:28 PMThat’s the type of before and after that completely amazes me. I’m pretty good an envisioning things in a different color, rooms with a different layout or with different finishes. But I would NEVER in a million years see that gun cabinet at a flea market and think, “I’ll turn that into a cute reading nook!” That is true inspiration.
