I alluded to it, hyped it up. Even bought it laborious as “my favourite room in the home,” and as we speak you’ll see it (and choose for your self). Though I like LOVE the lounge (coming quickly) and I in all probability give out that trophy too typically, I nailed this room with little or no effort (fantastic in addition to paneling the partitions after a foul darkish blue paint). I really suppose that is far more my fashion than my own residence at occasions (which, as you recognize, is extra of a standard farmhouse, which I like so extremely a lot, however an all wooden scandy blue/inexperienced and wooden room has my coronary heart).
This room had a variety of assist from Anne Usher, the architect who positioned this room in the home with actually fairly gentle, big home windows, and intensely excessive ceilings. So architecturally, we had been already successful together with her design. Or possibly I ought to give Stuga credit score for that flooring we placed on the partitions (we used Drift – it’s excellent) as a result of as soon as it was up, I swiped proper and am now totally dedicated to this room, emotionally. Til Loss of life Do Us Half (or them finally promoting and transferring, lol).
The Partitions
Wall Wooden Paneling | Wooden Flooring | Electrical Piano | Art work | Frames
So sure, all of the partitions are clad in Drift paneling from Stuga, horizontally put in. We had a ton leftover from all of the ceilings, and once we didn’t just like the room in darkish blue, we had been THRILLED to have the ability to pivot laborious to wooden. It simply makes a room so heat and simple to design. It’s instant-vibe. The electrical piano is identical one which we’ve got – Roland encased in a extremely nice-looking fake white oak. Above it, we framed 6 drawings of wierd males by “Bedeupree” which are so whimsical and enjoyable (and look excellent in right here). Goal frames FTW.
Cupboard Paint Coloration | Glassware | 4 in a Row Sport
The cupboards and shelving are painted in a delicate taupe known as Malabar, pulled from the lighter tones of the wooden. Inside the cupboards are their printer and residential workplace stuff. And above I styled with a variety of issues I had in my stock and despatched Katie and Ken on a visit to Powell’s to purchase a bunch of books they’d need (then supplemented with these, that are each superior and so embarrassing).
Katie says all of them are so drawn to this room for video games, chess, puzzles, homework – it’s only a room they need to be in that’s nonetheless so near the kitchen and lounge.
We furnished it with a rug from our outdated assortment, which has so many tones of blues and greens in it. I at all times wished this rug to be extra plush (as a result of I need each rug to be plush), however man, the colour is so good, and that gentle stripe is admittedly fairly. We discovered the right darker desk from AllModern, and Katie splurged (on my request) on these chairs from Soho Dwelling. Hear, this room is the primary room you see coming into the home, proper off the entry. These chairs needed to be fairly and particular. The colour is DIVINE.
Oh, and sure, they’ve glass pocket doorways that shut it off, though I’m not sure what the aim of them is, besides they give the impression of being actually fairly. They don’t masks a lot of the sound, however possibly a little bit? I like the look of them and wasn’t liable for designing them, however I like how they turned out.
Oscar Couch | Lengthy Lumbar Pillow (related) | Cupboard {Hardware} | Drawer {Hardware}
OMG. What’s she doing up there??! Giving “Belle” laborious (however in a French maid outfit and heels?). We put our Oscar couch in inexperienced tweed in right here, the cushiest, most comfy (and best-selling in navy blue velvet) couch in our assortment. We at all times meant to put in sconces on the perimeters of the cupboards (and I feel even wired for it), however haven’t but (and undecided we are going to).
The chandelier kills me. It’s big, each in width and size, actually commanding consideration within the actually tall ceilings. It’s a murals, a sculpture, and nonetheless offers excellent lighting. It’s from Blueprint Lighting, which suggests you’ll be able to customise the colours of the enamel and the steel. We selected Pearl and Charcoal with Pure Brass and had it drop sufficient that you might see it totally with out trying up, but it surely wouldn’t impede the view an excessive amount of. It’s PERFECT.
This room wanted window therapies attributable to it being west-facing, so we partnered with Decorview to put in motorized shades in a delicate taupe. We wished it to kinda disappear as an alternative of being a function. And for the reason that high window is so excessive, the distant simply controls them up and down.
It’s not an excellent eclectic room with a variety of surprises. However my goodness, the vibe, tone, gentle, and ease draw you in and make you need to simply flop on the couch or play join 4 (apparently, lol). The ladder is from Putnam, which we wrote about right here. We selected the Quiet Glide model with the Walnut stain and Double Curler. It may be pushed in to be extra vertical for simpler storing, however passes alongside in entrance of the couch simply.
The piano got here with an adjustable bench that matches, however I discovered this stool from World Market that merely seems to be so significantly better 🙂
Fake Potted Plant | Entry Desk (now not accessible) | Blueprint Sconce
A giant shout-out to among the finest fake bushes I’ve ever seen (used a number of occasions on this home). I like this shot a lot. The desk within the background was mine, from City Outfitters years in the past, and it doesn’t stay right here, however we added it for the shot. It made me motivated to get a small piece for right here (the spherical is approach too invasive, however might be a sideboard or a demilune).
The tones, the colours, the richness, and but lightness. Y’all, I do know that this might not be everybody’s cup of tea (maybe too easy or not maximalist sufficient for a lot of), however I’m actually happy with this room and the way it simply sings softly and cohesively.
And my brother’s household LOVES it. I feel it’s Katie’s favourite room, too (though once more, wait til you see the lounge). It’s straightforward to stay in, straightforward to keep up, vibrant, and but heat house that invitations you into the home and units the tone. It feels so balanced with heat and funky tones, with sufficient distinction to pop, however extraordinarily calming. Its 100% my vibe, and we’re going to stay fortunately collectively, eternally.
