Makeover Miracle- Closet Turned Book Nook!

Today, I am featuring an amazing makeover by the popular and incredibly talented DIY blogger, Sarah from Thrifty Decor Chick. Her blog is very inspirational because she did most of her decorating using inexpensive home furnishings and mostly DIY projects on a small budget to create beautiful spaces.



When I saw her marvelous closet turned book nook makeover on her blog recently, I was very impressed and I knew at that very moment I need to feature and share her DIY project with all of you. This is what it looks like now:

Previously, it was just an average closet that looks like this:

Sarah started her project by installing the bottom shelf first using only scrap wood left by her other projects. The amazing thing is she never had any prior building experience and this being her first, I think she did very well.

After installing the bottom shelf, she started to built a frame for the bench that looks like this:

Then, she added a few more scrap pieces on top of the frame. It's starting to look really good, isn't it?

She then covered the bench with some foam and created some shelves, like this:

After a light installation, a paint job, an addition of some books and a couple of decorative pillows, a beautiful nook was born. She did an amazing job, didn't she? 

Notice the additional storage underneath the bench? What a clever idea!
