Something that looks intended, instead of an after thought. My solution? A library with booze storage. What better a way to spend an afternoon, then pouring yourself into a good book, and getting sloshed?
This sketch, done by my awesome cabinet maker, Doug Lawler, is done for the main and longest wall, in our quasi room. This unit will provide much needed book storage, accessory storage, and will also provide great accent lighting.
This wall, which is the shorter wall, will provide the wine, booze and glass storage. It will also add sparkle with the reflection from the mirror, and add additional lighting. Sketch also done by Doug.
Bookshelves in a home add sophistication, refinement, and exude culture and experience. It was not too long ago that an education was something that was considered very valuable, and a person who had a library was considered worldly, and rich. Books were expensive, and literacy was prized and esteemed.
And yes, booze has been around since the dawn of time, and probably not considered worldly, but it sure is nice to sip on a lovely vino while curled up to a classic Jane Austen!

ReplyDeleteLOVE that idea, Amanda! Make it a destination instead of a pass-through. Quite a large space to just be a pass-through and being a bookshelf lover myself, I love the idea and the drawing.
ReplyDeleteI dislike having lots of space in a home that is unused, incorporating a book shelf, a place to sit and the important refreshments is a great idea. I love the comcept of having a library in a house and this is a perfect solution for an otherwise unused space! Great design Amanda. xx
