The Reading Nook

A cozy reading nook as imagined by three area designers.

September/October 2010

Three New England-based designers imagine a cozy reading nook by choosing their favorite chairs, upholstery fabrics, side tables and reading lamps.

PATTI WATSON

The world travel she enjoyed during a successful corporate career led Patti Watson to her true passion—a love of and appreciation for international culture, art and architecture—and a new career as a Rhode Island School of Design–trained designer.

ELIZABETH HOURIHAN

Every home is filled with precious memories and treasured possessions.
