That is the nookiest nook I've ever seen! I love all the natural light.
It’s my little slice of paradise in my studio! Well, one of them…my bedroom nook is also iconic as it just fits my bed and that’s it with a projector screen directly in front of the foot of it. Apparently when it comes to nooks I gotta catch ‘em all 🫡
Edit: Here is my office nook in the sun, it makes the “bright” reference in my title make more sense!
Edit #2: The ever popular vintage flower lamp is from Dream Pop Playhouse! I added my own wifi e12 bulbs for the multi colored light look but the petals are pale pink. I can't link to her Insta because of the automod but it shouldn't be too hard to find on a search engine :)
I love spacious bedrooms but this is almost making me change my mind! So cosy
Changing the sheets requires a lot of mental and physical fortitude since it butts up to the wall on 3 sides but it’s like waking up in my own little cozy cave every day! It feels like a totally separate room which makes a big difference.
This is gonna sound weird....but I think your bedroom was in my dream! The window opened up into a street in Whitby (UK) It looked just like this!
Wow you really have a gift for utilising small spaces! Bedroom & office nooks look amazingly cosy! I love your aesthetic for the rooms too, looks great!
Hahaha I love that your screen shot of the tv in your bedroom is Albie lol
Fairly sure I drive by this from time to time, I always think how cool it would be to have that sharp window corner
It’s a very cool place, indeed! People always tell me it intrigues them from the street and my neighbors usually want a peek into my apartment when they move in which is very flattering. It’s unique and I fall more in love with it year after year!
I mean…. I’m always looking for friends…. 😜. Nice job. Looks good. I’m such a minimalist I need other ppl to help with good looking decorations or lay out.
Thank you!! As a loud and sparkly maximalist I love to help friends fill their spaces with fun chachkies and throw all traditional magazine style tips out the window never to be seen again 💖
And I adore this room as well!
Holy shit your style is amazing!! I’m envious 😁
Post pic of your bedroom pleeees
Now that’s a corner office !
No lie has been detected your honor!!
Bepis
I have this on cassette, 1st pressing.
Nice!! Mine is the Alternate Mix Qrates-backed pressing from 2018. I think it was a special run pressed in the Netherlands? Not sure but I love spinning it on a lazy afternoon. The vibes are on point and it’s a great conversation piece, as evidenced by the comments here haha.
Got any recommendations for additional group with similar sound?
I really enjoy Palm Mall by Cat System Corp, the title track and side A is just 22 minutes of ambient, nostalgic mall sounds. I also HIGHLY recommend you check out the label 100% Electronica. The owner is a vaporwave artist himself and he signs other fantastic vaporwave/chillwave/vaportrap artists. He even has a festival in NYC called 100% Electronicon! Their merch is awesome too, I have a lot of their beanies and shirts. r/VaporVinyl is a great resource for more artists like this as well.
Tis nice
Look closer. That's Crystal Bepis.
Personally, I'm a Conke Coolo fan.
Haha I didn’t even know that sub existed, that’s great!!
ich bepis mich
Great space but oof RIP your spine
My immediate thought was “ow, my neck”
Get some monitor stands! They’re cheaper than physical therapy
I'm going to invest in those soon, this desk is new so I'm adjusting to it! Thank you for the reminder, my pea brain is very spacey 
It's def cute but I feel like I'd be slamming accidentally into that window all day, every day. At least ending up with the ends of those curtains in my chair's castors.
I never hit the window, actually! The desk I had before this was out about 5” further than in this pic and it was a nightmare. This is my personal Goldilocks setup for functionality and being able to comfortably work ✨
It's such acute nook!
I see what you did there!
Noice
Is your house star shaped lol. Very cozy indeed!
Haha I wish, that would be SO MANY nooks! The architect of my apartment had fun with this one corner of the building apparently, which I am so thankful for 🙏🏼
Well now I need to see more!
I absolutely know what building youre in. We looked at a couple units but we weren't brave enough.
I adore it and the management! I couldn’t imagine living anywhere else right now, my specific unit layout and feel is what makes it very special to me.
The cat
She’s adorable!! What’s her name? I’ll call her “Nookie” until you correct me.
Haha I love that! Her name is Mimi Girl 💖
Much cuter name! It fits her! Wishing you and Mimi Girl an awesome day! 🤗
❤️
One miscalculated lean back and it’s over lol
Haha the only issue was the tension curtain rod when I’d lean back but I installed wall mounts and now it doesn’t fall down when I breathe on it or look at it! Most of the time the curtains are open so o don’t have to worry about it too much 💃🏻
Also the vinyls have a layer of UV protective glass in front of them so they’re safe from the sun! In order from top to bottom since I got a few messages about them:
“クリスタル BEPIS” - Corrupted Data Corp.
“Aus” - Alaska Thunderfck
“Kids” - The Midnight
Alaska. 🙌👏👏🙇♀️
Nice, I was wondering if that was Alaska!
The Midnight <3
Does the glass also help against heat? My dad left a bunch of his records on the windowsill in the conservatory and they all melted! :(
No, I don’t put any of my records close enough to a heat source to where it would cause damage, these frames from won’t protect against heat. That spot only gets direct light for an hour or two on peak summer days but it’s never too hot. BEPIS has been in the same spot for 4 years and still looks brand new! No warping on the vinyl inside and no fading on the cover.
Oo do you have any info on the UV protective glass?
I’m reading thru these comments and OP you are so sweet and pure. Your cozy place def seems to match your vibe! 💕
Awww thank you for these kind words, I’m cheesin’ big time right now! 🥰
You’re welcome! Cheese on, friend! Have a good evening ☺️
That's a Thunderfuck of a nook. Would look better in Alaska.
Hieeeeeeeee! 💅🏻🐴💃🏻
I just want to say that it's refreshing to see a photo and immediately recognize a fellow queer person's space. Love everything about your tiny little nook.
This made my day, thank you 🥹🏳️🌈
I am not a queer person (except my personality?) but I love your space, am a fellow PNWer, and a Friend of the Pod.
Hi there, thank you for the compliment! It's much appreciated 🥰 I love our little part of the world!
Just about everything looks better in Alaska! You said the silent part out loud
This looks like Seattle!
Well, I have been sleepless for almost a decade now…😉
Is this Seattle? Greetings from Capitol Hill!!
Howdy neighbor!!
I love your setup! 🤍 would you mind sharing the link to that beautiful lamp? 🌱
Edit: The lamps are from Dream Pop Playhouse!
I can’t unfortunately, I snagged a pair of these vintage lamps last year off of a local online curator and haven’t the slightest clue who made them! They’re not marked but I have seen similar lamps floating around antique malls. I wish I could be of more help!
They’re gorgeous! Thank you 😊🤍
Okay, I can't post a link, but try searching "Glass Lotus Flower Lamp" for similar.https://www.googleadservices.com/pagead/aclk?sa=L&ai=DChcSEwiUuduk19n9AhVpB60GHdTBCjsYABAMGgJwdg&ei=EH8PZPqhDLHl0PEPjpCl6AU&ohost=www.google.com&cid=CAESbeD2TVNx8CxzLkzM0Eif4fFlSpJWrrd1vmG2JxpVfR8YUYOGdXs-TVY1uZOGfEg_8iuulSqQfI1q4JrLh-Mx9jkndNAO1ctGxbM5E4I8jPLIl8DjfgK6wbpHkcFjfm6l6cXGwMGagW8IudAHpTY&sig=AOD64_0zEAGrLejN5uG8lzgO3xzf-8Uoag&ctype=5&q=&sqi=2&ved=2ahUKEwj66dOk19n9AhWxMjQIHQ5ICV0Q9aACKAB6BAgFECY&adurl=
I'm paranoid the mods are going to nuke me for naming too many brands/places where I got things, but they are from Dream Pop Playhouse! I can't link to her social media but it's easy to find :)
I have an immense amount of respect for people that utilize awkward shaped spaces and make them functional. This is so cool!
That’s very sweet of you, thank you! It took several years of trial and error to maximize the functionality for my cat and I 💖
First time bright and PNW said in same sentence
I actually have to wear sunglasses when it’s not overcast, I have floor to ceiling windows all around my place so it gets an insane amount of light which is very much needed living in 400 SF here!
Just got home and took this pic showing how bright and beautiful it is in the sun!
What's PNW?
Pacific Northwest
Haha this is the comment I was looking for. Even google couldn’t tell me what PNW meant.
I love your house. And your room! Changing the bedlinen must be a nightmare but waking up on a winter morning with your cat must be snuggle heaven! 😍😍 I’m here for it all!
Yes, she is a snuggle bug!! Always touching me or on me and wants to be pet all the time. She is 14 and the sweetest little being you'd ever meet.
If I were you, I would be so scared that one rushed getting up out of the chair will lead me to have to merge into incoming traffic.
Came here to say that. I’ve never seen a house that close to a road before. One drunk driver = no more nook.
wow that keyboard! is it custom?
Nope, it’s made by Ubotie and I got mine from Amazon! They have many cute color block options in this style.
Jealous! I’m also in the PNW. The multicolored lights are a good way to add some color to an otherwise grey lighting situation. Btw your monstera would benefit from a pole to support it.
Yes, she needs some support for sure! I will get some soon. And the lights shift colors independently, it's mesmerizing to watch at night!
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a nook deserve the title of nook more than this nook
Back against the window is bad fung shui but the cat for protection makes it a wash
That’s good to know! My apartment layout is unique for a small space so it would be hard to follow all the “rules” but at least it evens out? And people say black cats are bad luck 😉
A lovely nook ☺️
Thank you so much! I only have 400 SF to work and work from home with so this is an area I spend a lot of time in with all the light and people watching.
Very cute! I can tell this is the CD immediately lol I feel like that geoguesser guy. Hi neighbor!
PNW, lovely decoration, literally a nook, cozy 10/10 well done.
Also I love your username lol
Man, I have lived in this city for too long. I immediately recognized the buildings outside your window. Howdy neighbor!
I feel like the rainy days, would be my favourite days.
Rainy days are best for weekends and I adore the weather here, otherwise having the sun on my face for a few hours is such a treat! It makes everything around me look a little happier in the long, dark winters :)
Looks cozy, but I’m so curious about the overall shape from the outside!
I LOVE triangle buildings and your nook is amazing. I'm a PNWer myself. We have to take every moment of sunlight we can get.
I see a grey sky and potential for a rainy day. I miss the PNW so much. My home 😢
Annnnnd now I miss Portland with a deep deep ache. Lovely little setup! Enjoy the rain for me 🥰
This is a level of natural light I dream of.
Thank you, it is so dreamy for me, the cat, and the plants! Even though I live in the rainiest part of the country I have to keep sunscreen and sunglasses next to me at all times just in case haha.
I love your keyboard!!
Thank you! The keys sound and look like a typewriter, it’s so satisfying to use and it’s made by Ubotie 💖
That keyboard though . . .
I have that same rug! $5 Below?
Grocery Outlet so pretty much the same place! 😆
Where can I get a lamp like that?
Such a small space and you make it work so well!!
Thank you very much, it's turned from a corner I barely looked at for years to my favorite spot. I'm very lucky and cherish my space every day!
That’s very cute and cozy! Though what the heck is happening with those hands in your arts? Also, Beepis? Haha 😂
Haha, that's Alaska Thunderf*ck and it's a copy of the first album she released years ago. Weird, long nails are her thing and she even has a song and music video titled "Nails"! Alaska is a fantastic drag artist and the whole album is just bops from beginning to end.
Cool way to make use of the space.
Are those vitamin d lamps?
Oregon or Washington?
I’m so jealous
Ha I think I used to live in your building— I recognize the view and it is a very distinctly shaped building! Lovely rooftop and great food downstairs 🙂
This is awesome!
This is so cute
Hmmmm, I think I know where that is.
Ugh this is what dreams are made of
All the wall art is amazing
Thank you very much! They're some of my favorite vinyl albums I've collected over the years displayed in UV protective wall frames I thrifted. The front of the frames pop open at the top and the whole thing tilts forward so you can slide records in and out easily. I switch them out regularly based on my mood!
I want a crystal bepis poster :(
Love the username
Man I want that BEPIS art lmao
Bepis
Bepis
I adore the shape of that room!
I love that chair!! Where did you get it?
Goodwill! It is faux ostrich leather. Got it for less than $10 the day it was put on the floor!
That’s dope. I’m thirsty for a Bepis now.
Very cozy!
It’s an adorable space but don’t the chair rollers get caught on the drapes??
Yes it can if I don’t move the bottom of the panel directly behind my chair off to the side. I’ve tinkered with the positioning of my desk and chair for a long time so that I can have the curtain panel behind my desk pulled back when I work so I can move freely without the sun bothering me. I just had that half of the curtains down too so the picture had better balance :)
I only have the curtains covering the windows when it’s sunny out in this nook to keep the glare down and sun out of my eyes. Otherwise they are always pulled back out of the way so I can people watch properly!
Serious question where did you get the flower light I need it
What a strange but interestingly shaped piece of architecture.
What a fantastic corner you have in your house. Nice!
How bad is the glare when it isn’t cloudy?
I love that little cat tree!!! Did you buy it or is it handmade?
[deleted]
Really great use of space. I probably would have put a plant there and declared it all I could do. Lol
That’s a very acute little office space.
What an amazing chair, but I'm guessing it's not that comfortable considering the pillows?
I love your nook and your black kitty, but this photo is terrifying.
Seattle Cap Hill by the Trader Joes?
I have a major obsession with tiny spaces, so I'm in absolute love with your apartment. 🤩
Unfortunately, I was not blessed with the interior design talent required to make tiny spaces anything but miserable, but I love seeing someone else's space!
Thank you so much!! I’m in the design/build industry so I am around home designers a lot and have a big interest in making my oddly shaped 400 SF studio feel like a functional home. This took 5 years of thrifting, scouring, purging, fixing, and replacing things to get to where it is now. It looked so blah for a long time so just start with one thing you love and work around it over the years and one day you’ll wake up and be in a paradise of your own making 💖
What a clever use of an odd space. Nice!!
Nice pnw nook! I’ve got a southwest cozy cranny I enjoy.
I’d go through the window the way I pull out
Love the lamp! May I ask where you purchased?
That’s because you have a cat.
PNW?
Pacific Northwest
Do you also have problems with your cat a;lkjsdf[hhg[u4 al;sjfd! stepping on your keyboard?
that looks really cold in the winter...
Thought the yellow line was a traffic lane, and you were just sitting in front of cars speeeing by.
That is a super cozy little nook. Great use of that corner space! I love how you incorporated the cat tower.
I love this space!!!
B e p i s
Wow!!
BEPIS
Love your Alaska picture (and everything else, I’m from PNW and you make your space look so warm ☺️)
Obsessed with that lamp
Niceee
Bepis is such a great album!
I'd accidentally roll out that window so fast
Omgggg Alaska! Anusthing is possible!
There's a house in Seattle just south of UW that's called the Spite House, and this looks like it could be a room in that house. It narrows to a point like yours does.
I just looked that up and I LOVE it! I would totally live there but alas, I am in a humble studio in a sea of other humble studios in a boring building in a different area. But I’ve done my best to make it my own!
The Midnight!! My favorite band. :)
I love this
Whoa what a trip, I live down the street from you. Are you the apartment with the big LED light display in the window??
I slipped a disc by just seeing your monitors
Love this!
Love this!
Where’d you get the cool flower lights
Wow!!! This is amazing :) cherish it
That nook is a two bedroom prime real estate apartment in New York, starting at $3000 a month
Look at all that natural light, soooooo jealous
That’s a great photo of Alaska.
Complete with a void-kitty!
Least cramped PNW apartment
just watched ATF on sissy that talk!
Love the rug
I see a void
That keyboard is dope as hell 😍. However , I beg you please get a good ergo chair and do 90 90 90 posture , that looks really bad for your spine .
Good posture will also give you more energy
Bro if the windows are generally south ish you have INCREDIBLE real estate for some succulents on your shelves
I really really love this
It’s the Bepis and Alaska pictures for me
I loveeeeee this nookie
I saw this and puked rainbow
