I try not to get all political up in my blog, but I have to say this. It should be a crime to have an un-utilized window seat in your house. Do you have a window seat in your house? Do you know how lucky you are? Do you know how many of us go without? And have long dreamed of lounging in a window seat of our very own, gazing meaningfully out into space while pretending we are Reese Witherspoon circa Man in the Moon? A hypothetical example, of course. Anyway, if you’ve got one of those window seats, do something about it!
Brook not only made her window seat a desirable destination, she also transformed the whole guest bedroom into a happy, homey, welcoming space. And you can see more on her blog Your Favorite Raymonds, although I just thought of a good name for a blog if your name is Brook: Babbling Brook! Ha, ha, that’s cute isn’t it? No? Oh, just let me have my fun.

January 5, 2012 at 8:34 PMI have 2 very deep window lwdgws in my dining room that would be perfect for window seats – but you’d need a ladder to then get on them!
Love these though, thanks for sharing.

January 5, 2012 at 9:44 PMThis is killer! It looks fabulous. Love the colours. It has been… well forever since my last confession but I have an unutilised window seat. Please forgive me. But I will make it my mission in 2012 to do something about it I promise.

January 5, 2012 at 10:00 PMI have always wanted a window seat, even way back when I was a kid, but none have come to my house to live….at least not in my bedroom.
Hubby made one for daughter’s room when she was a teenager and the same daughter has one in her house now very similar to the one you show. But for me? No There is no justice in the world! 🙂
