I might be a few days late to the game but just sat down to look through my Domino Spring Issue and wow, I’m totally in love with Lauren Leiss’ home feature.
The accordion library lights are so sweet in this space and I love the built-in shelving for books. It’s the little details like this that make the space unique.
Here’s a shot of the end of the room. Instead of building a new media center this one was taken from their last home and inserted. Love the glass doors!
And here’s a shot of the other end of the room. What a cozy room! Can you believe those wood shelves are actually butcher block from Ikea? Love that idea and it makes me want to rip out my current shelving in my family room and replace it with butcher block. It just warms up the space and carries the caramel tones through the room. And let’s discuss the great idea to use a fabric ottoman but move an end table over the top when you need a hard surface area and it also creates height in the room.
I am definitely noticing a trend these days that kitchens are becoming a ‘room’ and not just a place to prepare dinner. Notice no upper cabinets in this kitchen create a cozy space and those iron racks are to die for. Oh, and an art wall above a sink–great idea if you don’t currently have a window above your sink. And, I love those retro barstools!
Two things about this room–the chandelier and the ghost coffee table! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE and especially in this room with such a mix of materials.
Definitely grab yourself a copy of the spring issue of Domino–so, so, worth it! Enjoy the weekend!
You won’t believe the before photos, you can find them here.
