Before and After: An Unused Closet Becomes a Cozy Reading Nook for Less Than $100

Book nooks are, arguably, the best nooks. Lindsay Cisewski of Style and Dwell, her husband, and her 4-year-old would agree. “We wanted a space to organize all of our books, and have an out-of-the way and cozy space to read them,” Lindsay writes. The target? An unused basement closet. “Due to its location and layout, it really wasn’t functional, and it definitely wasn’t pretty!” Lindsay says.
