A Niftier Nook

Overhead shelves are the right depth for books and framed photos, while the slightly roomier middle portion gives Dell's 37-inch High-Definition LCD TV enough swivel space to be aimed toward the seating area on movie night. The homeowners love the quirky shape and racy red fabric of the tufted armchair from Lee Industries, which rotates on casters for versatility. Roxy (pictured) and Molly, the family's border collie/blue heeler puppies, adore the comfy round dog beds from Room Candy.
