WEEKEND PHOTO: A PLEASANT ALCOVE!

February 21, 2010

Seating area with tall bay windows with plantation shutters, wood framed settee and armchairs upholstered in shades of light blue
I like this little alcove. A great nook. Tall bay windows with plantation shutters, a cute wood frame settee and armchairs all upholstered in shades of light blue fabric, white walls, dark wood floors…all comes together to make this cute little neatly appointed sitting area very pleasant.

I like a lot. I love the windows.

What do you think…I wonder?

Hope you are having a fab weekend!

    Lovely and calm perfect little punch with the orange flowers…it’s looking like turquoise IS the colour this year!

    If you can call it an alcove, what could possible be wrong with it? I love all alcoves! I love the name, alcove. This one is perfect. 🙂

    I love the orange and turquoise combination. Peaceful! I would be tempted to put up some window coverings, maybe a valance, depending on what the rest of the room looked like and what the view is outside. I have the Dream Draper program by Evan Marsh and with a snapshot of this room we could superimpose several different styles/fabric choices. Its a fun and very useful way to visualize before making any committment. I design and fabricate drapes so I may be a little bit biased! 🙂 Cheers Christine

    I like it all….except the rug. I would rather see a soft stripe. Maybe in light jewel tones.

    Interesting to see these cool colors used without looking like a child’s room. Have been considering using these cooler colors for my workspace, but it’s just a little bland for my taste, and I agree with OHN, the rug doesn’t work for me.

    I’d be interested in suggestions for making this palette even more sophisticated and complex.

    I used to sell window treatments and always got excited when people decided to go with plantation shutters. Such a classic look that is worth the investment!

    I subscribed to your last week and just saw the note you left on YHL for my son’s nursery today. Kismet!

Delicate florals in a powder room, a full-envelope ikat entry, a moody botanical pantry, a pattern bold enough to wear the whole room — six spaces, zero fear of commitment.

Alexis Banks Humiston didn’t just design this 9,20 Alexis Banks Humiston didn’t just design this 9,200 sq ft Nashville home, she moved in with the family for two days first.
She interviewed everyone, including the 6 and 8-year-olds, before touching a wall. The payoff shows up in the details: a hand-painted constellation ceiling in the son’s room by @willemrackestudio, a floral canopy bed for the daughter, and a hidden reclaimed-wood bar tucked into the attic eaves.
Every room feels like it was made to be lived in, not admired.

Velvet, woven wood, molded modern, sculptural, cast brass — seven islands, seven completely different takes on where you actually sit down. Some rooms go quiet with it, some go bold. Both work.
