Let’s Put Together a Nook

Which furniture, art, and lighting would you choose to put together a little nook? I’ll tell you what I’d choose below!

  1. Claude Walnut Bar
  2. Cleo Table Lamp *
  3. Keriloo *
  4. Baby Donkey
  5. Green Wave Print
  6. Number 36 Painting
  7. Verona Wheeled Console Table
  8. Delta Bone Table Lamp
  9. 1940s Architect’s Boom Lamp Sconce
  10. Louis XVI Dresser *
  11. Rift #26 (Heimaey Houses)

* I would be thrilled to put any of these in my home, but I think I’d go with 2, 3, and 10. I really, really want that painting.

Which ones would you choose?

  • I’d choose 2, 5, and 7. Those three lend themselves most to my current color scheme (red, aqua, green), so I’d start with those and add a splash of aqua and red on the table with smaller accents or books. That is an awesome table.

    1, 3, 8(with a different lampshade) or 11,5,6,7,9. I really want 2 in my house.

  • I’d choose 3, 7 and 8!

  • 1, 2, 3.
    Michelle Armas is an amazing painter. Her paintings look even better in person…I’m lucky enough to have one in my living room and I just love it.

  • Definitely 1, 3 & 8. LOVE the Claude Walnut Bar, and I am completely with you on the painting. It makes me want to pull out all my paint and try my hand at DIYing it.

  • Rebecca

    1, 3, 8

  • love this post, especially #11, I was there last weekend, (http://kristinjona.blogspot.com/2011/09/we-visited-westman-islands-yesterday-it.html)- visiting my husbands relatives who live really close to where the picture was taken! Such a beautiful place.. If you ever come to Iceland (a big IF for most people, hehe) you must visit the Westman Islands! :)

    Greetings from Iceland!
    Kristín :)

  • Kathy

    All I know is that #1 needs to be in my life, somehow, some way…So 1 and 3 for sure.

  • VikaMoka

    2, 7 & 4 … The donkey is absolutely lovely !

  • 2-3-10 absolutely :)

  • I’d go 2, 3, 6, 7 – which, I know is two pieces of art but I would love to lean both pieces on that fantastic table to create a bit of a layered look. And that lamp adds just enough gild to the entire look.

  • Michelle’s work is BEAUTIFUL! I’ve yet to have mine stretched and hung. I should get onto that and this post has reminded me, thank you.

    Great choices – I’d go with 1, 2 & 3 myself. I’m crazy for that Jonathan Adler piece.

  • I’d choose 10, 3, & 9!

  • I’d choose 3, 8, & 10.

  • I love nearly everything here. But mainly I want to say thanks for introducing me to Sharon Montrose. I have just looked at her website and found about a dozen must haves for my little boys’ rooms! Now to decide how to justify shipping them all to Australia. Thx Nicole!

  • All good options, but I think I would go with 3,7,&9. But I would turn my nose up at any of them!

  • 3,7,&9 … but I luuuuurve 1, its a bit tall for my nook, so it will just have to go somewhere else!

  • I would go with 1, 3, and 8. I, too, LOVE that painting.

  • #2, #3, and #10!!!! Love all the pieces though :)

  • Oh man, I need 3 nooks! Okay, I would choose 1, 3 and 9 plus a comfy chair. ;o)

  • Anita K

    This room is done by a friend of mine, I thought of you with all the beautiful colors and awesome style!

  • Sarah W

    I’d do 123!

  • 7, 9 plus a comfy chair with a throw!

  • Oh, gawd. I love Michelle Armas’ work so much, I have TWO copies of her “Secret Garden” print in my apartment.

  • 1, 3, and 8 would be my choices. Love them

  • I would choose what you did. :) but I also love the 36 and donkey print and like the idea of a collage of those three pictures in different sizes.

  • I have the Cleo lamp and I love it so much I even had it rewired to work in England! Its so beautiful and gives of the perfect light… in case you needed more encouragement ;)

  • Great election! i´m with you, 2, 3, 10. The painting would look so well in my bedroom… :)

  • reynok11

    5, 8, 10 – looks so peaceful! I also really do love #3 as well!

  • Such a cute idea for a blog post. I love it! I’m a huge industrialist style fan and I love Sharon Montrose so I’d have to go with 4, 7 and 9.

  • Jessica

    I’m with you on 2, 3, 10. Usually I have a really hard time with these posts, because I just can’t picture the different items together very easily. But this time those three things just jumped out at me and now I’ve got some major “wanting” going on.

  • 6,8, & 10! Love your blog Nicole!

  • i love that michelle armas painting!

  • 1,3,8 for sure, these are always so fun!

  • i adore all the pieces so this is difficult but i think i’d go with 1, 8, and 4.

  • 7, 3, 6, and 9. I’m going to have to double up on the art, and prop the numbers on the table… 36 doesn’t have much significance, though, so maybe a smaller version of the donkey for that purpose.

  • I’d choose 1, 2, 3 and a smaller version of 4 for the table top in giraffe form (I’ve be ooh and ahhing over Sharon’s work for a while now!)

    I love the colour and playfullness of 3 and the lines of the console table.

  • Megan

    9, 10, and 11

  • I like 3, 7, & 8. THe painting is a MUST. :)

  • Those choices for a little nook are perfect!! Love the Claude Walnut bar, the Delta Bone table lamp and the donkey picture. Thanks for sharing where we could find these items. Could make a very fun space with this stuff!

  • Alice

    9, 7 and 4! Or 1, 8 and 11… I like all of the components in this round!

  • 3, 4, 8 & 10. I love that baby donkey!

  • 1, 2, and 11! but i’ve been obsessed with that robert abbey delta lamp for a very long time!

  • I’d choose 10, 8 and 3!

  • I’d choose 3, 7, and 8!
