ROOM OF THE WEEK 7.7

This week's room had me at hello with the extremely high-gloss black lacquered walls...

But, there's another reason I wanted to make it highlight it too: the layout. I've been hunting lately for an apartment large enough to also include a bit of office space. Trying to find just the right place and imagining how each empty room might possibly work as a living room, office and dining room has proven a challenge in creativity to say the least!

But this room! This could be the perfect solution! A cozy sectional sofa, a big 'ol table to work on and dine on. And, where that console is, a little desk to to stash the paperwork and office pieces. I'm picturing how that armchair could actually double as a desk chair too. While we're at it, I'll also take the huge windows (must have plenty of natural light!) the trellis-patterend rug, and drapes to separate the bedroom from the living space!

  2. This is a one room wonder!
    A clear and wide view.
    A sofa that acts like a banquet, and dining table that acts as a dining and coffee and conference table.... and all those glossy reflections that surely hide so much more then the reveal.

    Cheers!

  6. Cassandra,

    I adore this room. Simply stunning. I completely agree with you - house/apartment hunting is so difficult! I have been looking for a house for about 5 months now and I am becoming terribly exhausted. It is especially hard imaging how it would look with your stuff in it when the house is still occupied. I hate when I walk into a home that is poorly decorated and is obvious that the residents have no style. It might be the most beautiful house but I wouldn't even know because I'm too disgusted with the hideous decorations. haha. Anyways - hope you find your dream home. Hope you have a wonderful weekend :)

  10. I love this room! I actually helped design this apartment while I was working for Bilhuber + Asso in NYC. It was a fantastic project to be involved in! where did you find this photo? I would love to see the other photos of the apt too!
