This is an odd sort of space. Its not really a 'room', its kind of like a really big open hallway/entryway. We didnt want to use it as an office since the computer is pretty much our lifeblood around here and we didnt want to put it in a corner. Cuz then how would I watch Project Runway on mylifetime.com? From the computer chair? No thanks. We have it in the living room. Anyway, here are some pictures...
Before: A plain open space. So much potential!
After: A colorful reading area!
I wanted to hang the paintings with a sort of a gallery feel.
The kid books are here on the lower shelves.
The taller bookcase is organized by color courtesy of Bradley. I love it, such a cool idea.
I swiped these oversize jacks from my Mom. Arent they the coolest? Ive loved them since I was a babe.
A closer look:
The YELLOWs
The ORANGEs
The GREENs
The REDs
This corner gets a lot of use!
I might make some big cushy pillows to throw down in the corner. What do you think?

Ummmmm Pretty much love it! And YES make some big floor pillows! I made one for Croix's room that he flops on and looks at books.
Love it!
I color coded my bookshelves in our townhouse and took so much flack for it. My library loving friends couldn't break away from the "organize by subject or author" method. Everything looks lovely, and pillows never disappoint.
LOVE! Love all of it! Organization by color, use of the space, all of it! Is this where the floor cushions will go?
Stop being so creative and talented. You're making the rest of us look bad! :)
Love it! The paintings look so good. It looks like such a fun cozy place. Definitely go for the pillows!
