How to create the perfect reading nook

This is my spot. The room I greet my dogs in.  The room where I read. The room where I sit and watch the deer or cars go by in our neighborhood, and the room where I reflect on my travels around the world. 

Behind our chairs is a large world map. It's nice to stand back and see all the places we've conquered. We hot glued this map to a large foam board and pinned away! Links below. 

Standing to the left is a ladder that holds two of the coziest blankets for those chilly nights. Above the map is a picture light that not only emphasizes the pins and topography but also adds to the ambiance of the nook.

Vignettes are the some of the hardest thing in design to get right. I kept it rustic with this edison lamp, two books in the color of my room, coasters to protect the table, and of course a call bell in case I need some first rate service. ;) Most of the items pictured are linked below. Feel free to comment if you have any additional questions! Happy shopping!
