Mike's Library Pattern Board & Inspiration


We are finally furnishing the finally empty room inwards our house.  With then many household decisions to live on made, nosotros decided to await a spell to practise Mike's Library/Office.  For the finally dyad of months the woods paneled room has been completely empty, collecting dust (and random toys, junk, etc.).  Mid-October is hither as well as I'm swimming inwards swatches of tartan plaids as well as wool; the timing couldn't live on to a greater extent than perfect to outfit this warm as well as cozy room.  It would've been difficult to provide a handsome library properly inwards the middle of May : )

Above : The photograph inwards a higher house is non Mike's Library.  It is Ralph Lauren's... so, non fifty-fifty around Mike's.  Each fourth dimension we've been into a Ralph Lauren flagship store (New York, Aspen, Chicago & East Hampton), nosotros both dearest the pattern as well as feeling of warm spaces.  He e'er walks away saying, that is just what I desire someday.  

This is his dream : a warm wood-paneled room total of collected books, sports mementoes (golf flags), Mizzou paraphernalia as well as tufted leather chairs.  However, his room volition non characteristic an over-sized crude painting, only a flatscreen TV instead ; )  

With Mike's vision taking the lead, hither is what I've come upwards up amongst : 
On the pattern board :  Ralph Lauren's Study, Restoration Hardware Churchill Chairs (we ordered them inwards Antique Whiskey), Red Tartan Plaid Throw, Camel & Grey Throws from my store, Antique Rug (we purchased finally weekend!), Green & Navy Tartan Plaid Pillow, Brass Picture Lamps, Herringbone as well as Nailhead Ottoman (debating...).

This colorful as well as rich public is all novel to me - as well as fun.  I've e'er been a rattling neutral appreciating person, only bring also loved Mike's vision as well as feeling of those masculine spaces.   

We bring most of the pieces inwards place, except :

Ottoman : While Ralph layers lots of dissimilar patterns, my neutral loving instincts would similar to basis the room amongst this camel as well as chocolate-brown herringbone ottoman to assist it lucifer inwards amongst the residual of the house.  Thoughts?  Another selection is this Kilim Ottoman from local shop, Nell Hills.  It would practise to a greater extent than of a gathered as well as eclectic feel.  Hard to tell inwards the photo, only has browns, ivory as well as red.


Window Treatments : I've ordered some linen Roman Shades that volition mimic grasscloth.  I would similar to also practise drapes, only in ane lawsuit to a greater extent than non certain how neutral I should go.

I'll ready you lot upwards for how the room fits inwards our household : 


In this photo, the front end door is on the left - this is the front end foyer.  Behind me is our natural linen filled living room.


The chairs arrived yesterday - I'm then relieved that they lucifer nicely.  I was terrified that they would live on scrunched inwards here.  As always, stained woods is difficult to photograph; it appears yellowish here, only doesn't read that agency inwards person.


The carpet is close 5'x7'.  We flora it at Art & Antiques inwards Rocheport, Mo. over the weekend.


We were drawn to this carpet because it has navy as well as a rusty scarlet amongst caramel as well as browns - difficult to find.



My spode woodland dishes bring flora a abode here.  I've updated the bookcases from this photograph to add together some actual books, too.


This is where the TV volition go.



This desk was a discovery of all finds.  It is called a Shipmen's desk.  It has a leather exceed as well as was a Bargain as well as a half, give cheers goodness.  It is ane of my favorite pieces inwards our entire house.

I'm also planning to reupholster the desk chair - a vintage walnut as well as leather desk chair from the 70's... some other conclusion to live on made.   I'm happy to bring it form of disappear for the minute amongst a throw draped over until I tin decide.

Now, I'm off to file through this Pinterest Board I created on my ipad to hunt for to a greater extent than inspiration spell I bring dejeuner on the dorsum porch.  I dearest October.  And I dearest furnishing warm as well as cozy rooms amongst lots of colors.  Who knew?!
