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.
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?!
