In today's hectic world, it's nice to have a space of your own to stop and slow down. A trend in the design world is to have a space just dedicated to that. Some call it a "library", others may call it a "study", but for the happy, middle of the road name we"ll just call it a "reading room."
The room featured below started off with a cheery yellow outdated paint on top of plastered walls. The previous owner of the home had used this room as a sun room. Our client wanted to see it transformed into her own "get-away from it all" study.
The first step in the process was to completely gut the rooms-DOWN TO THE BOARDS! Plastered walls can show every mark, every mistake.
Once the walls were down, they were then replaced with Sheetrock, bookshelves were installed and voila-you have a clean canvas!
The next step is the paint-which we'll be doing next week-so stay tuned for the finished room! The paint for this reading room is going to be "OFF BLACK" in high gloss by Farrow & Ball and ceiling paint in "Peace & Happiness" by Benjamin Moore. So excited to see how this turns out as I think this will be the "WOW" room of the house. Check out some inspiration below....
