Making an Entrance

i have been shopping with my client julia for the past several months and things are really starting to come together.  her home was pretty close to empty when we started because it was a huge square footage upgrade from her brooklyn apartment.  you may remember her beautiful double doors from this post.  her home is an old carriage house so it was originally designed to drive straight through this entrance all the way to the back.  we decided to make the most of this vast hallway and treat it as much like a functional room as possible.  she loves to read and often works from home so we have been calling it her entry/library/office!  here's a sneak peek at the overall feel and some of what we've collected to make this a cozy, functional, and feminine space...

mercury glass lamp with burlap shade / a large round mirror / chic office accessories

tortoise shell accents and touches of pink / a few white billy bookcases in a row

campaign desk / acrylic vapor chair and my favorite - a vintage style

over-dyed oriental rug simliar to this one
