SHELF CENTERED. The focal point of the living room is a large wooden bookshelf that has sentimental value for the homeowners. Lamps on the bookshelf offer ambient lighting. A daybed provides expanded seating while keeping the space from feeling closed off. A stylish gray chair with a French mattress seat cushion adds elegance to the room. Brian used gray-blue paint for the ceiling to help make the space feel cozy yet open with an outdoor feel. The large archway opens into the kitchen.
