Closet Turned Reading Nook and Toy Storage

My son has two full sized closets in his room, but really only needs one. I turned this extra closet into a reading nook, sleepover bed, toy storage and hideaway for him.

    Sconce added by running a cord around the molding and plugging it into the outlet outside the closet.

    Two upper shelves that are narrow in depth were added for books and display.

    All the little boys will be wanting to come to your house for a sleepover in the special nook. Every little one should have a special little place to hide away to read, play or just daydream. It looks so inviting, you may want to curl up there too!
