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?

    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!

    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.

  10. Renee Smith Avatar

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

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

      I’m with Carla. The Claude Walnut Bar is awesome!

    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.

  16. Priscilla Avatar

    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.

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

  18. Bohemian Zsi Zsi Avatar

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

    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 ;)

  20. Kristin Avatar

    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.

  21. diane Avatar

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

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

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

  27. Brittany Avatar

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

  28. Dacia Avatar

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

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

  30. Cindy Avatar

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

    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!

    1. Making it Lovely Avatar

      Her work is fantastic, isn’t it?

  34. Viv Avatar

    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.

  35. Desiree Avatar

    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.

    2-3-10 absolutely :)

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

    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!

      A big IF, but I’ll keep it in mind!

    1, 3, 8

    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.

    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.

    I’d choose 3, 7 and 8!

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

  45. Nichole Avatar

    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.

  46. […] wanted a Michelle Armas painting forever, and when the one I really wanted sold out before I could commit to buying it, I was disappointed. When I spotted that smaller pink […]
