What Room Doesn't Need A Window Seat?

there's really no need to explain my love of window seats. in an eat-in kitchen, i imagine sunny breakfasts from a comfy perch with a view. in a bedroom, i envision a cozy nook for reading on rainy nights. in just about any room, i like the idea of a perfect spot to snuggle up and take in the outdoors from the inside.
my eat-in kitchen vision becomes a reality in this cheery space by amanda nisbet.
am i the only one who could spend the entire day in a spot like this one?
a window seat for a mix-and-don't-match dining room.
i'm not quite sure if there's room for reading on this built-in window seat with its excessive pillow count, but i love the look regardless of its utility.
comfy upholstery makes the most of a room with a view.
snow outside means a candlelight and a good book inside.
an irregular space is transformed into a high-style hideaway with custom seating and an enviable collection of throw pillows.
how do we feel about a window bed? you can bet i love the idea!


desk(s) du jour

the same craft table in three finishes and i love all of them! it's a utilitarian piece that houses all your office and library needs, not to mention provides double the desk space. when i checked pottery barn for the link to this particular product, i found that they're actually having a special! so if you're in the market for a craft table and you've got a spare $949 (hey, down from $1,157) lying around, i suggest you place an order for the bedford project table set. i think it's beautiful!

pillow talk

i'm beginning to daydream in detail about my future bedroom in our downtown house for senior year. every time i find something lovely online, it goes in a folder of ideas and inspiration for my first decorating project. these customizable pillows from iomoi, jonathan adler, and karen hilton designs definitely make the cut:
iomoi canvas pillows, $58 for 12x16 and $78 for 16x16.

jonathan adler design your own pillows, choose cotton or hand-loomed wool, $98 for 16x16 and $178 for 24x24.
karen hilton designs 16x16 pillows: $62 for 1st and $66 for union jack.
i'd be happy with any one of these options. what about you? where do you find your pillows? i would love to hear your advice as, like i said, this will be my first real interior design project!
