Space: books & antiques




Today's space is an inviting library room/home office: books on white shelves, plenty of wood, and beautiful and white French windows. The table is English and antique and the chairs are vintage sewing chairs. The owner, screenwriter Paul Attanasio (producer of House M.D. with his wife), says they lend the office the air of a workshop.

  1. I like the wooden ladder and the wall-to-wall books - very cosy.

    This has been a busy week for me so I'm looking forward to the weekend a lot!

    Have a good one, Lisa! xx

  3. Oh, gorgeous. A place like this is perfect to working, relaxing, reading or coocking? Why not?! I'd like to have a kitchen full of books,.... and not necessary cooking recipe books.
    Have a wonderful weekend, Lisa. Xxx

  4. The chairs and table really lend a lovely old school charm to this wonderful space.
    I can't believe how quickly this week flew by.

    Have a splendid weekend Lisa!

  5. Such a lovely look, although I wonder what it would've been to sew in those chairs, they look a little hard! Loving the Damien Rice song, you always have the best music links :) Hope you have a lovely weekend Lisa,

  6. This room calls for a rainy day. :) It's been a busy week, but I like being busy. It's now time to enjoy a quiet evening at home. :)

  9. I love rooms like this one with wall to ceiling book shelves, this is our plan for the attic when we finally get around to completing the work!

    Wishing you a peaceful weekend.
