Evolving Breakfast Nook/ Office/ Now Reading Nook

This is one of my favorite areas of our house.  It was built as a breakfast nook, with a more formal dining room on the other side of the kitchen, but I liked it so much, I wanted to try to squeeze our table in.  It was possible, but not ideal.  So we put the table into the formal dining area, which was a much better fit.
 Since the formal dining area had been functioning as our "office" we put the computer in the nook area.
But George is who he is and he kept turning off  the computer, so we moved it up on the desk, but then he could reach the printer and shoved a toy in it that caused a paper jam.  He would get up on the desk and one time I found him squatting on the desk, a pencil in one hand and a pen in the other. Yet, we continued on. But then a morning a couple of weeks ago, he pulled the V key off, which was apparently the last straw because Joe promptly rearranged furniture and took the his computer downstairs into the guestroom/ office.

So now we have a reading nook.  This is my favorite use of the space yet :)
