Their time-tested methods create interiors that maximize openness, strip a building back to its bones, and amplify natural light, evoking unpretentious tranquility.

It‘s my hidden corner bookcase, but most people find it quickly enough...and then they ask what‘s holding up the books since they can‘t see the shelves 😁🙃. It‘s maaaagic. 🧐

AmyRebecca On the house! Well then...Dirty martini or some honey bourbon?? That fireplace better be crackling! A good book, warm fire, a velvety drink on the tongue, and the conversation and hospitality of a dear friend. 5y

A close-up of some the books on my #bookbar! 😁 Have you read any of these?!

I used to write manuscript notes at bars when I lived in NJ, so this a great inspirational feature for me and my writing. 😌
