The favorite room of this Massachusetts home, this study was where the homeowners spent most evenings reading by the fire. But its awkward location at the front of the house disoriented visitors and needed a more welcoming feel to match the rest of the house. Designer Julie Lyons designed the cabinetry featuring the Rittenhouse Recessed door style to custom match the color selected by the homeowners. Cabinetry wainscot panels and molding in the same moody blue wrap around the entire room with wainscot millwork detail integrated between tall book cases showcasing the homeowner’s antique book collections, as well as art pieces. Nestled, almost invisibly, into the shelving is a small study desk to work. And under the windows, integrating seamlessly with the bookcases, are benches created from wainscot panels and other cabinetry parts. A pair of glass pocket doors enhance the entrance signaling an opening to a special space, where visitors are at once intrigued and enticed into entering this new enclave, to sit, read, and visit.
