This Cobble Hill Townhouse has a Two-Story Bookshelf, Moon Light and Climbing Wall

Ойын-сауық

With the collaboration of Leroy Street Studio and Brook Landscape, Olivia Song has created an oasis for her husband and two young boys in the renovation of their 1840 townhouse in Cobble Hill, with a climbing wall, moon light fixtures and a two-story bookshelf.
In this episode of Interior Lives with our design editor, Wendy Goodman, see how Olivia’s work and design eye has yielded a dramatic house that is family friendly through and through.

She owns a design consultancy and sits on the board of a few prestigious museums. She is also an investor. The fact that another woman must tear another woman down makes me sick. They only did this video because she designed the house, not because she is rich.

    Fits well into my space, I painted the back green. It's very easy to customize just the back if that's something you want to do. I would suggest sanding it first before painting, I got a little impatient. The shelves kzread.infoUgkxM8H4CjCb79vzeyvgaFMdzmLm88oVFPMkare pretty small so keep that in mind if you're going to have it horizontal that some books won't fit. I like the snug look that it has. Good small shelf if you don't have much space, but not too small. Simple to put together, though you'll need your own tools, a screwdriver and a mallet/hammer, it's easiest to do with another person.

    She mentioned having a black kitchen. But it has a very deep green tone to it. Which is enormously better.

Baseboards and outdoor shutters always look better when painted a very dark gray (almost black).
