I enjoy the illusion of depth added to the space by incorporating that pattern on the built in shelving unit. Not only does it add character, but even for such a close up photo it draws your eyes past the foreground.
I'm a little bummed out that foot stool was neglected. Its color would have slightly broken up the monotony.
Definitely could done with a fewer of the derivative accent pieces on all that shelf space. Also, that beautiful light shining in should add life to the color in the room, not numb it. Books are a good medium, but here they are thrown on the bottom shelf and lost in the sea of creams.

Lovely room but not really my cup of tea.

Perfect. I can't wait to start working on our baby's room. I'm all for re-purposing and shopping around. I love that you painted and reused the shelf.

Didn't see half of these movies, but based on these photographs, I'd say Hunger Games. Futuristic is so much more complex of a concept for me that any Modern-Contemporary or Gilded Victorian-Rococo space.

I admire the idea, but I don't think it was driven in the right direction. With the exception of the Murphy dining table (excellent idea), I don't believe the space is adequately utilized. Be it that maybe the photo in question was staged this way for the article, I find it impractical to hide your bookshelf unless you've got room for a revolving bat-cave entrance shelf. The cute cut-out makes for a very nice knick-knack showcase and I understand the symmetry and light being taken into consideration for placement, but that table could of just as easily been placed to the right of where it is now. Understanding that the table's primary function is to provide the family with a practical dining environment and it would only serve its purpose in that limited capacity.

Not a fan of folding chairs, but why not create a cubby to stash them behind the table. Maybe flush the table bottom with the retaining walls and mirror it to add more light.

I love the idea, just wish the "expensive custom cabinetry" would do a little more than take up the space the family is in dire need of.
