WISH Wednesday #18

Posted by MAKMU ta On Wednesday, February 15, 2012 No comments

I recently came across this room on the blog Bright, Bold, & Beautiful and was immediately drawn to how warm and inviting it looks.  This study has so many of the things I love - things like bookshelves, art, and classic wood furniture.  The Canadian Interior Designer Philip Mitchell is the genius behind this room and when I visited his website I noticed that he has offices in Toronto and Chester, Nova Scotia. I'm kind of hoping this gorgeous study is in a Nova Scotia home and that you can see the ocean from those windows.

I love the gallery wall he created (not so sure about the same picture framed two different ways which you can see in the upper left of the gallery wall - any thoughts on this?)   I do love the eclectic assortment of nature pictures, the driftwood sculptures on the dresser, and the curvy wooden arms on the chair to the right of the sofa.  I think this is a great photo for a midwinter WISH (Weekly Inspiration for a Seasonal Home) Wednesday inspiration photo.   All the rich colours in the wood, dark leather, and patterned red carpet make the room seem enveloping and warm - just what you need on a cold winter's day.  That and a glass of red wine to sip (probably carpet inspiration).

What things do you look for in an inviting living room?

By the way,  Philip Mitchell's website is here and his blog is here.  Both have lots of inspiring photos.
