I definitely agree with commenter that wrote about adding ventilation holes - drilling several large bore holes with a drill ( one at least large enough for one's finger to go through and lift the pillow up to allow air in ) at the edges of the pillow support is much easier than adding a childproof lock. Alternatively you can make larger spacing where the pillow support is meeting the shelves. Also, allowing air circulation helps with keeping away mold and bad smells. Better safe than sorry, for her sake and any kid that will be visiting. Nobody expected the tragedy when it struck them, we've had several suffocations just this year including two in store-sold furniture - my colleague is a safety guideline supervisor and if not for him I'd never believe the ingenuity of kids.
On a less important note, ventilation holes also allow you to store /books/ in there since humidity and air will flow through and not get mold in there. Just a good idea all around
Oh my goodness I remember this being a huge issue with the Lane chests. I thought for sure people would’ve corrected that by now. Thank you for shining a light on this issue such a sad thing to happen that is so easily available with proper safety measurements.
I once locked my sister in a trunk and then panicked for some reason and couldn’t get the key. Thank god she had enough air but she’s claustrophobic now 😅
This is adorable! I would just add aome ventilation to the trunk somehow. Children have died getting trapped in trunks like that and that lid looks like it would be too heavy for a child to lift. My kid is 2 & he would LOVE climbing into that thing non stop. It all looks so beautiful though!
Or if the trunk is divided into smaller compartments with dividers making it physically impossible for anyone of any size to go inside, that would be better
This is going to be beautiful! Definitely add a lock and air holes both to the trunk, as well as secure the shelves to make it safe. Reading to your baby from infancy will really help her brain development. She will love her reading nook!
@@akuiper2654 But they happy though? Maybe she's doing stuff we don't see, or maybe he's doing the building and enjoys it, and she's appreciative? You judge based on personal expectations lmao.
This kid is gonna love this nook as she grows up. Honestly, I would have loved this when I was a kid. It's like her own private space that she can get away to when she's stressed and pull up her favorite book! I could also see it as a study room. The functionality that will travel with the kid for years!
Those book shelves need more than just a couple Brad nails from the nail gun if they are going to hold books. I don't care, except you should make them safe so they don't fall under the weight
Yeah, books are super heavy. Even if the shelves don’t collapse outright, they can warp quite a bit without adequate support. One of my old bookshelves started sagging, and eventually cracked right in the middle of a shelf, despite being at least 1inch thick solid wood. The ends of the shelves had decent support, but the there wasn’t anything supporting the middle.
flashback to when I lived on a couch & had some kind of small "unsecured"? shelving on the wall at one end full of DVDs & likely books & other random things, which one day did indeed come crashing down, ouch.. 😳
me too and too many sad beige millennial couples keep ruining cool unique old houses and make them a minimalist modern hellscape glad they didnt do that here this looks so cute
@@horselover4492 IKR and I hate that they chose the cute old homes to make into modern minimalist style. Like, if you want a modern home than buy a modern home
@@horselover4492 millennials aren't the sad beige people, those are gen x and boomers 🤦🏻♀️ millennials are into gray. millennial gray literally became a thing because they were trying to get away from the see of beige from theor parents and grandparents. if you're going to generalize and hate on millions of people for something a very small handful have done, at least do it right. 😂
@@jocelynecupcaketypical gen z ignorance 🙄 modern homes cost millions of dollars that obviously millennials do not have. so if they want to be able to buy a house at all, it usually has to be a much older one. that being said, many millennials are into cottage core, academia, and eclectic styles and this is how they decorate their homes. (millennials literally popularized these styles btw).
So cute❤ maybe add a cross bar so lots of kids can climb on it and it won’t cave in in the middle. I like the air hole idea or add a lock so you can lock it when you aren’t around. Cutting down a memory foam mattress makes a really lovely cushion or using a crib mattress if it’s the correct size. Great job👊🏻
I love this so much! The green will make it seem like a little secret garden! I would recommend adding some sort of extra support to the shelves. As kids get older books are gonna get heavier!
I've always wanted a nook like that. Thank you for doing such a big project for the benefit of your child. Thank you for leading by example in that kind of good parenting choice.
👍Very Nice!! Love your paint color. My grandma had a lovely old house & one room was “the Green Room”& I loved it! One of my uncles built an unusual bookshelf in there (in the 1930’s) It’s really nice to see that some young people still do that kind of thing- your daughter will treasure it!!✌️
What an amazing house… just from that small section we see it looks so beautiful…. I live in a small van/car and my whole living space is about a third the size of your book nook I would like to have the ideas to make the space look more inviting, it is interesting to see how you are creating this
I also agree with the person that commented about adding ventilation,but I would consider drilling some hole on the side and the holes can be little heart shapes or any shape your child likes
¡A mi mejor amiga y a mi nos sucedió cuándo éramos niñas! Mi mejor amiga se quedó a dormir en mi casa cuando ambas teníamos como 11 años, las dos dormimos en mi misma cama. Al despertar le conté a mi amiga de un sueño que había tenido, le dije que me había encontrado en un lugar muy raro con unas escaleras...mi amiga me dijo lo mismo y me describió el lugar que había soñado antes de que yo terminara de hablar. El lugar era exactamente igual, empezamos a hablar más y nos dimos cuenta de muchas similitudes entre ambos sueños. Han pasado 8 años desde eso, he tenido varios sueños lúcidos desde entonces, pero nada como esa experiencia.
Let me just say your husband will love you so much for bigging him up publicly on social media! ❤ They dont always say it out loud but appreciation like that means so much to them! Also I love the decor!!
im almost 20 weeks pregnant with my first baby (she is a girl as well) and this just made me cry so hard lol this is so beautiful, i can only hope to have something like this someday for her :)
I would make sure the lid was easy open. Or you might think about just turning the box on it's side. Doing away with the lid altogether. You could add cute curtains. Still have the storage and a great place for hide and seek.
Hi that's gorgeous! And something your child will be forever grateful for (I know, because my parents did something similar). I see a lot of people have been having the same thought about ventilation incase Little One goes exploring. One thing my dad did was put little spacers on my toybox so it wouldn't close completely and so mine (or anybody else's fingers) wouldn't get trapped if the lid slammed. Another little tidbit that could be fun is putting a secret compartment - it took about 6 years for me to find the one he did (and that was with the help of a cousin)!
Your husband sounds like my mom. Need custom furniture? Just make it! Ever done this before? Nope. Painted the walls? Never before, no. She's building a wood shelter outside our house now. She replaced the roof tiles on our shed. People like that are so badass, I could never

Thank God you guys aren't the people that just destroy houses that have any unique features cuz if you did I would have been so sad cuz that was a beautiful corner and you made it look so good
I feel so happy seeing people build their own home and decorating it together with their partner ❤️ its my dream to build my own house with my partner 😊
I think it's great, tips:right angles supports under the shelves and removing that lower board at the end of the trunk as it could still be used as storage or a cool built in desk. or is a leaf is added additional sleeping space.
The color you choose actually make the room more narrow in a sense, you can choose the lighter shade to make it feels more spacious and make the light even distributed. That's my take I hope it works

Who is we? A business?
I once closed myself inside the dryer at a friend’s house to win a game of hide ‘n seek. Kids are wild.
I once locked my sister in a trunk and then panicked for some reason and couldn’t get the key. Thank god she had enough air but she’s claustrophobic now 😅

Just drill some holes with the adaptor used for electrical boxes or a bit smaller.
You can even make some design with the ventilation holes
Beautiful !!! 💗💗💗 📚
or just add a shock-assisted lift thing to keep it open
Or if the trunk is divided into smaller compartments with dividers making it physically impossible for anyone of any size to go inside, that would be better
Every house, not just every nursery, needs one of these. 😊
I agree. A place to get away and read.
For sure! Some tea, snacks, and a book in there and I am in heaven.
Absolutely! And make it big enough to take a cat nap after eating snacks and reading good books. 😊
I thought nurseries were for actual babies. How will she be able to use this space on her own?
I agree!
A man that knows how to build!!!!! That is the kind of man I want!!!!
This is going to be beautiful! Definitely add a lock and air holes both to the trunk, as well as secure the shelves to make it safe. Reading to your baby from infancy will really help her brain development. She will love her reading nook!

I was thinking the same thing. Cool Dads are just Good People that do uncommon things!✌️
You are so lucky to have a husband like this!

This is adorable! Well done on the build, it looks sturdy and I love the color of the green. She’s going to love her little book nook

El mejor esposo de la historia, que amor que quiera ayudar a su amada a hacer sus sueños realidad 😍
I need this inspo in my life. The inspo pics you used were so cozy
You guys are the best parents! Your daughter must be happy and proud~!
Both parents have _so_ _much_ artistic talent. Just imagining how much creativity their daughter will have leaves me astounded. 😮😮😮
Maybe, but the genes or interests don't always work like that. But it'd be cool if the whole family was creative and into artistic hobbies.
Thank you for promoting reading too!
I wanna wanna wanna have a cosy book-cave like this! Totally inspiring! 🥰
Absolutely marvelous! It’s more than high end decorator perfect!
Fabulous! Great parents prioritizing reading for your wee one. Lucky babe :)
Awww, I wish you had left the area you closed off for feet to go under the book shelf, thus having decent leg room. The rest is truly lovely!
Love a comfy book nook! Congratulations on your baby!😊❤
An amazing husband is a blessing 😊

THAT IS TOO CUTE! Every kids dream
What an amazing house… just from that small section we see it looks so beautiful….
I live in a small van/car and my whole living space is about a third the size of your book nook
I would like to have the ideas to make the space look more inviting, it is interesting to see how you are creating this
You guys have the luckiest daughter! 🥰
Your child will be happy. This is lovely.
Больше всего мне понравилось, как она сказала: “мой талантливый муж„😊❤
What fun. Your child will love it. An excellent use of space. 👍
What a good Father to make that from scratch. I bet it'll be passed through generations and cherished for so many years to come. ❤
Yep, There is a godly family, I proud of it!
I also agree with the person that commented about adding ventilation,but I would consider drilling some hole on the side and the holes can be little heart shapes or any shape your child likes

What a calming space! I want one :)
I’m so into this series!❤
So cute 😊❤
Love these reading nooks and if there were more space, it could double as a guest bed. All you would need would be a blackout curtain.
You are blessed with amazing husband
You both are great parents, doing amazing job to have beautiful and cozy space for your family, deffo an inspiration 😊
