Room envy
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
As the home and garden writer here at the AJC I see a lot of beautiful rooms, and I do mean a Lot. I love touring people’s homes and seeing how they live, and feel constantly filled with inspiration that I bring home to my own abode.
For example, I was mesmerized by how designer Randall Cobb created drama in his master bedroom with wall-to-wall drapery and smart lighting.
I liked the sense of cozy coolness seen here in design maven Beth Webb’s showhouse in Lake Keowee, S.C.
Finally, how can someone see a wine cellar like photographer Denis Reggie’s and not wish they had their own glamorous vino room (and the cash to fill it with more than Boone’s Farm)?
Luckily, I love my house. It’s not huge by any means (about 1,900 square feet), but with its two bedrooms, dining and living areas, has all I need.
That said…I still imagine what room I would add if I could. I’ve already told you my plans to eventually convert the second bedroom into a guest/home office, but what would this other magical room be? Selfishly, a dressing room. And a family room would be a close second. (I want that TV out of my living area.)
If you could snap your fingers and add a niche room, what would it be? A wine cellar? Indoor pool? Outdoor kitchen?
