DESIGNER ROOM RECREATE: TEA OR COFFEE TIME IN A WINTER WHITE SIMPLE DINING ROOM!


Photo: Annie Schlecter

Okay...my white room of the week...I like this one...a serene winter white dining room or breakfast nook - a place to enjoy a wonderful morning cup of tea or coffee.

I like this and could happily have my tea there this morning! I love how bright it is and I love the floor to ceiling doors/windows.

Keeping it simple is the theme. Because this room is so no nonsense, it was very simple to do a DESIGNER ROOM RECREATE...a table, some great classic mid-century modern Eames chairs, a grouping of bird prints, and nice mug for a dose of warm liquid. Perfect to me.


hive - Eames Plastic Armchair - $349 (Designed by Charles & Ray Eames®, 1948. Molded plastic, chrome legs)(above)




Pottery Barn - Lancaster Dining Table - $999 (40" sq. Extends to 72" long. Wood dining table. Turned legs)(above)



y living - Aika Mug - $9.60 (above)



Clayton Gray Home - Linen Bird Set - $260 (bird prints; natural frame with linen mat; sold as set of 6. Sizes: each is 15.5" wide x 12" high)(above)


Where do you have your morning or afternoon cup of tea or coffee? Would you want to have it here?

BTW, lovely dinner last night with JD, AB and CF! I feel like I've been buried in work mode for the last few weeks that I haven't had a proper chance to have a nice dinner out. It was a pleasant eve nice dinner chatter...good sushi...a bit of hot sake...and that was the night...we didn't go to the Soho House after all my chatter about going...but it was still a lovely night out!

Running late to another photo shoot with amazing photographer Hugh Hamilton (he shot the photo of the Belgian tulips above). He's shooting a few more of the COCOCOZY home furnishings collection pillows this morning! Then off to meet with an upholsterer about making more pillows, then need to work on legal documents (have been procrastinating on this and amazingly patient lawyer JP just keeps sending me my checklist over and over again reminding me of deadlines and what needs to be done). Another busy but happy day!

Happy Saturday to you!
