Library Lusting.

There are home libraries…and then there are library homes.  This week’s space is by far among the greatest and most obvious examples of a book lover’s private paradise.  It would be accurate to state that the owner of this home loves to read, as the upper stories are dedicated to a quite sizable book collection.  With ample sunlight and a quiet, efficient, well provisioned little nook on the uppermost level, this does appear to be a space where one could kick back and read, or post up and get some work done.  In fact, the only true indicator that this is even a home is the kitchen table resting nearly on the first floor.  Let the daydreams commence. 

Quotes – Expectations.

When it comes to goals…let’s not expect them to fall into place.  Let’s not just think them into existence.  Let’s work toward accomplishing them.  Expect to succeed, yes…but then put the work in to see it through.  Stay creative.

Some spaces are cheerful and bright, while others are brooding and reflective and moody.  This room has a lot on its mind, but you wouldn’t be able to tell with its clean, unobstructed lines and minimally structured aesthetic.  For a sparsely decorated room, there are just enough elements to provide an open, rustic tone, and just enough of the comfort notes to add a touch of warmth to hold the winter chill at bay.  Let the daydreams commence.

Light your fire, grab your coffee (or wine), snag your book…and cozy up to the warmth of this week’s great wintry space.

Library Lusting.

Certain rooms call for certain things, depending on differing tastes.  Some rooms liven up with various colors, others with specific design elements…while others come alive with whiskey and a cigar (or pipe).  This is that room.  It’s as if this room was carved out of a solid block of wood; fine, bold, rich, sturdy construction, elegant accoutrements, and a supple leather sofa add up to a high degree of refinement.  With books galore and subtle, understated (but sufficient) lighting, this room is perfect for reading, smoking, or taking a nip out of the old tumbler.  This is most certainly a book lover’s room.  Let the daydreams commence.
