I really wanted a nook. Like - really. I don’t know why but I think humans are drawn to corners where they can nest themselves. I wanted a big table for (as we say in America) “entertaining” (so Martha of me) but I also have meals on my own, or just with one friend, and didn’t want to be lost on a giant diner table.
.
I wanted both!
.
The thing is that in a modern house with open volumes there are no corners or nooks to be found. You have to create them. As I opened a window in the kitchen (more on that later) I lost a ton of storage space. That’s how the lightbulb came - why not extend the kitchen storage into the dining room and carve a nook out of this?
.
I showed a few images to @sarahshermansamuel and she came up with that magical corner that’s kind of breaking the internet ?. The @asplundstore table is a wonder, one of my favorite pieces of furniture.
.
Maybe weird, but I wanted a TV in my kitchen (the only place where I have a TV) (the nook is integrated in the kitchen) to watch @wendyshow while cooking (#kiddingnotkidding)(love you Wendy! Can’t wait to have you back on the show!) and this is the last piece of magic of the nook : the artwork is a TV! Made to look like a piece of art when it’s not in tv mode. You can chose your art and change it whenever you want. I think all TVs should be like that!
.
To finish we chose this natural leather back. It’s going to get stained and change color over the years, but that’s exactly the point ?
.
The nook became the place where I spend the most time - and the cutest place for long breakfasts, lunch & diner for two and deep talks about life (my favorites) and about what sneakers to wear (my other favorite).
