As we begin , let me simply say that I think this is a great space . She did a superb job creating a calming, sophisticated and yet even so fun environment . What a great dining room. However there is one count I would like to center in on in this room . The following is the designer’s notes:
“The design plan for this dining room is inspired by fabric in a unique shade; it isn’t quite red, pumpkin or spice, but very rich and sure to whet the appetite. A rich chocolate brown on the walls creates an atmospheric mood and complements the warm tone of the curtains and ceiling color. The real star of the show is a mammoth bookcase, painted a high-gloss white and customized with a modern baroque wallpaper.“
Can you guess what I would like to speak about yet? The one thing that sort of totally makes this room. The bookcases. These are things that can make or break a room. We’ve all seen our fair share of over-cluttered bookcases that in some manner make the room seem littler. I love a good upwards eye draw. Especially when it comes from hefty book cases with a simple but darling design of books. Some of you probably just thought to yourself, “design books?” Yep . That’s what I said. The pattern that you use in putting books and knick-knacks into shelves really does matter. Note that the shelves are not full. And all the books are not upright. This is not your grandma’s house (no offense to the grandmothers out there- My grandmother is quite design-savvy as a matter of fact). Point: Get creative. Not cluttered. I love the colors in this place. So original and yet simple.
So are our homes at College Station Homes or Lake Travis Homes .
