Just a place for a nerd like me to share the creative things that bring me joy - whether they be digital or unplugged. Currently addicted to building book nooks and miniatures of all shapes and sizes. Putting the pieces together is soothing to the logical brainy side of me, while the creative side of me gets to experience the wonder of building tiny worlds with with details so exquisite, you almost feel as though you could step right into a new adventure.
Magic Library BN Build @StepCatStudios
Title: Magic Library
Brand: TUKIIE
Begun: May 17, 2024
Completed: May 24, 2024
Video created using Wondershare Filmora for Mac
This nook and video are dedicated to my colleague, office mate, and treasured friend @rogeruta.
This is not a nook I'd have chosen to build for myself, but lately, when a nook catches my eye, it's not for me anyway. I knew as soon as I saw this one it was meant for the wild and wonderful soul who shares an office with me, brightens my day with his wacky humor, weaves outlandish backstories for my boot and cane, and hovers protectively over me as if I were his child... (I'm way older than he is and have ditched the boot and cane, but I value his friendship, wisdom, and support more than I could ever express.)
But I digress, as usual... On to the nook itself. I discovered so many hidden treasures in this build, and it became a joy to work on. Not just because it was destined for my friend, but because of the detail and craftsmanship within the individual pieces as well. The placement of the lights enhances these details, and as I toddled down memory lane through the crafting of this video, a story began to take shape in the mists of my mind. This was the first time I attempted to capture the actual building of pieces "live" so to speak.
Hopefully you will enjoy the little tale I spun to take you on the building journey. Your feedback helps me know how to fashion future videos.

Title: Library Brand: SYOSOF Begun: Feb 25, 2024 Completed: March 9, 2024 My fourth book nook ever created. Funny thing is, I was just getting started with nooking and didn’t yet realize that multiple vendors would sell the same nooks. So, when I saw this one again and liked it, I didn’t think to check if I’d already purchased it. The ones I’d bought before had a little tag saying I’d bought th...

Title: Island of Love Brand: Tonecheer Begun: April 28, 2024 Completed: May 3, 2024 Tonecheer has become one of my favored book nook brands. I enjoy the ease and relaxation that comes with one of their builds. I love the bright colors, the cute added touches, and the slim profile.

Title: Travel in Venice Brand: Tonecheer Begun: June 9, 2024 Completed: June 9, 2024 Tonecheer is my go-to brand for one day builds. They’re narrower than most book nooks I’ve found, but that’s not a bad thing. I like having a variety of sizes; whether I keep them or gift them, too much of the same is too much. Even if the insides are all different microcosms, if the outsides all look the same,...

I'm just sorting thru the pre-build, bought LR44 batteries from amazon, inventory etc. I will follow you along, mine will take a lot longer to complete, maybe months on the bench.
Love this video so much!!!! Thank you for this BookNook! This is probably my mostest favoritest office decoration! I will forever cherish this build from the coolest officemate ever!!! 🥰🤘🏼🥰
We've just got one of these and we're a bit intimidated by it! 🤣 Thank you for the video it will definitely help.
It's a bit intimidating at first, to be completely honest. Take it a step at a time, and don't be afraid to undo and redo. One of the best things I've discovered is that many of the materials used can easily be found or replicated around the house. So, even if you use all the materials you've been given, it's easy to find more. This kit, and others of its kind, give you more than you need.
A new video with a tour of the nook will be posted in a few days. I got a new endoscope camera to get into tight spaces.
Incredible craftsmanship!
Thank you :D And thank you for sharing the local store with me. Fueling my new obsession, I see. ;)
I love the reviews in the description!! These look amazing!
Amazing work! You have lots of talent.
Thanks @AdrianMartinez-ww7kx. You’re the one who got me thinking about putting these up on TH-cam in the first place. 🙃
If you’re nice, I might make you one 😂
I want that nook.... In real life 😊❤ Great work!
