Cozy Window Seats

Don't  you just love window seats?  To me there is nothing better than doing just what this young girl is doing - curling up with a great book!  If you are lucky enough to have a window seat - is it warm and inviting - a special place where you can "get away"?  If you don't have one - is there a place you can create one?

I love a comfortable cushion on the wood -  just wood is not inviting!  The extra pillows are a great way to add color and bring comfort.  In this picture they have added window treatment.  In this instance, I think the window treatment takes away from the beauty of the window.  I have used window treatments in areas like this but more for uninteresting windows and I generally recommend a valance type treatment as panels tend to get in the way.

Have fun making your window seat a magical place! j
